Reply #4: The test that I apply to politicians, and especially to Presidential [View All]

[Rydz777]

candidates, is: "Is he/she in it (1)to be somebody, or (2) to do something."

Run the test on Bush. When he first met the Queen of England (when his father was President) he said, "I'm the black sheep of this family. Who's the black sheep of yours?" ("None of your business," replied the Queen.) This reformed drunk, who had been handed a business sinecure, was a ne'er-do-well who had a lot to make up for. He had no serious ambition to do anything important for the country. He just wanted to be President so he could strut around and say "Look what the black sheep did!"
