Re: Obama - Yay Or Nay
It's quite common to find specialists who are not all-rounders. My BIL comes to mind -- he's a highly successful forensic engineer specialising in material failure. In all other matters, he behaves and thinks like a 12-year-old boy.

Re: Obama - Yay Or Nay
Interesting point. A lot of people (not saying here as such, but out and about) will jump on you if you criticise the Big O, saying 'oh so the Republicans could do better, eh?'
Well, no they couldn't, but did anyone ever think that perhaps another Democrat could? I don't know about Hilary, though if she's anything like Bill it might have been worth a go. But who knows, it's all conjecture anyway. In the absence of another sensible option, he'll get in as the lesser of two evils IMO.
Hope he makes the most of it.

Perhaps we should have a poll:
Who want 4 more years?
Who want 4 more years?

Oh well, too late now - she's not even considering it any more - can't say I blame her - the way candidates get hung, drawn and quartered even before they get into office, she'd be shredded and set on fire during her campaign. One thing, however; she'd probably get a lot of women's votes simply for having had the gumption to "stand by her man".

Well, at least if Hilary had taken the role, Bill would have been in the wings with an occasional cue card and aside that might have improved her act!

That doesn't make a lot of sense...it seemed to be more a criticism of hairdos etc.

But now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever had a really deep, intelligent conversation with many women about it, either.
