[Philip]

His behavior is also ignored and even celebrated where others are
immediately attacked.

Ron,

Obama is an impressive guy,  I don't think he plays the race card so much as
his party does.  He's an American, period.  That's good enough for me.

Clinton was/is a genius at politics.  If he had/could/would keep his dick in
his pants, history would treat him kindly. As governor of Arkansas, I mildly
disdained him. As President, I distrusted him.  As a vendor, I couldn't
stand the bastard. Thus, my judgement isn't trustworthy.

Brad
