153. If you think we have a government run by a dictator that is your prerogative I suppose

The President still did not write this. Neither did Bush. Writing these agreements is well under their pay grade. For the record it is also under the pay grade of the US Secretary of State and all these posts, including the SOS are appointed by the Chief Executive and CONFIRMED by the United States Senate.

It is not my fault you do not know the most basic of how this shit actually works.

By the way, your mind reading abilities (full of hate) are quite broken. Brutally honest, I give two shits who gets elected since MY man\woman\it will win handily anyway, that be BIG MONEY.

One final thing Lark, she did write in her book after leaving State that this treaty was the gold standard. I s'pose the President forced her to write that line so he could get cover from the agreement he personally negotiated and wrote. This is quite a funny thing.

By the way, you are giving me material for fiction. Thanks.

By the way, this does not excuse either BUSH or OBAMA... but quit building sand castles.
