That is why I give President Obama the benefit of doubt. As should anybody.

His is the most unequivocally honest presidency in my lifetime, which goes back to the 1940's. The only one that comes close is Jimmy Carter, yet another completely ethical political player.

We have been blessed these past eight years. Regretfully, we will now be cursed, for how many years is uncertain. Nevertheless, cursed we are, and damned to the lower levels of Hell.

We are screwn!
