Must Read Detroit Metro Times Editorial: SAVING THE NATION

Nobody among the intellectual and power elites was overwhelmed by the Democratic candidate for president; the only thing they agreed on is that he would be marginally better than the alternative, who was a disaster.

And while they wanted him to win, they worried about whether he was decisive enough. They regarded him as a rich guy with a high society wife who liked hanging out with the beautiful people as well as the movers and shakers. While they didn’t expect great things, they thought he’d be pretty safe, at least.

That’s what they’re saying now about John Forbes Kerry.

Which makes me smile, because that’s exactly what they said back in the day about John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Pardon me, but I’m very optimistic about the prospect of a president who is intelligent, tested in battle, has a lifetime record of public service, and who, unlike any other chief executive in decades, actually knows how Congress works.

I like the succinct "intelligent, tested in battle, lifetime record of public service, and knows how Congress works."
