55. That's not why I don't want her for president.

Warren has a genius for speaking truth to power and powerless. I do not want that compromised.

To quote Jimmy Breslin (more or less) "No one ever reached the presidency in a state of grace."

Obama smiled and lied his ass off about gay marriage. I'm forever grateful. He told jokes while we were killing bin Laden. I hate his TPP but I'm liking him so much more than I thought I would.

The last thing any president can afford to be is perfect.
