Telling friends and family: The Presidency is a "Job", not an "Award". |
|
I've had some family try to tell me we owed McCain the presidency because of his POW status. I've had to explain that it doesn't work that way.
And I don't mean that the presidency is "just a job", but that it is a job with real responsibilities assigned to it by the Constitution.

1. McCain has had a good life already since returning. |

Married to an heiress. More homes than he can keep track of. Senator for decades.

2. The GOP needs to stop treating the Presidency like the Special Olympics |

You don't get a prize just for showing up, being handicapped and running.
