4. when i was in the army
ghwb was prez

i grew up on ford, carter, then some really fucktup reaganomics (which had me scared of the russians blowing us to the next life)

then?

herbert walker-
just in time for my moms & pops to not being able to afford to send me to college-
it was like one of those uncf commercials, remember those? my folks sat me down, and calmly explained to me-
"we're not gonna be able to send u to school"
i had my heart set on howard in dc-

anyway-

me being me, i joined the army for the college loot, and g herbert walker bush was in charge

in retrospect? i have more respect for dad than junior-
dad had colin powell
and powell was all about soften them up, get in, get the job done, and get the fuck out-
and papa bush was more than agreeable

junior tho?
he's on some get in, and just sit there

idiot

i say all that to say

we've been sorely cheated out of a TRUE commander in chief for the past 8 years
i give thanks that i wasn't in the service while our current dumbass is in charge
i feel sorry for our troops these days; they don't really stand a chance with "the decider"

because he is incapable of critical thought

i digress tho

all i needed to say was a pithy:

"word"

5. I saw that last weekend and said every Obama supporter should
see this and then some. It's a phenomenal pep talk to his Young Team Obama.

We do know it's about us and we're "moving an entire nation in a new direction"!
