Dude. Anybody with any sort of a conscience gets *murdered* by the hot seat. Dick had bags under his eyes, and the smile was gone. Pappy Bush got a few shades lighter, lost some hair. Jimmy went in a dark grey, came out almost white-haired. No comment on Bubba. Or Dubya. Show me the Current Occupant at the end of his term without at least a few grey hairs and I'll show you a man with no soul. And while the Fix may be In? I think the man's got a soul, and the crap that's coming down the pike is killing him. (Hell, it *literally* killed FDR, not that FDR had much for health to begin with...)

Maybe he'll do something about that. Maybe. He's got the intestinal fortitude to go tell his own brethren they're screwing up by the numbers on a very touchy topic... the question is, has he got the brassies enough to tell the fixers to stick it, and Do The Right Thing.

I'm not holding my breath, but at the same time? it is not inconceivable that he could get tired enough of the endless loads of high-quality organic fertilizer to pull a Hercules... we could use some clean stables.
