Regardless of my personal opinion of these two men, spelling ability is not an indicator of intelligence.

Dan Quayle, 44th Vice President of the United States

Barack Obama, 44th President of the United State

Dan Quayle Misspells 'Potato'

Barack Obama Misspells ‘Respect’

If they don’t and you can’t, we’ll, be happy for your greasepaint, Clown….

There’s a piece of me that believes the response to Russia and Crimea is less international diplomacy than old-fashioned chest thumping that recollects the Cold War, Goldwater, Kennedy, and Reagan.

We haven’t learned a whole lot from nearly blowing ourselves to smithereens 50 years ago.

(Christian Science Monitor: 50 years after Cuban missile crisis: closer than you thought to World War III)

(L-R) John F Kennedy, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama. Two liberal Democrats, two conservative Republicans, and very little difference in dealing with Russia. We tend to view our political choices as starkly different, but most of the rest of the world sees Republican and Democrat as a distinction without a difference.
