There is such a messianic call for him by people who have given up on all the other candidates, that were the reality of his presidency to occur, with the normal day-to-day political give-and-take required of the job, and with the extremel... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/StephenB48/21 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:52:47 and I just want to tell y'all that it has been a very enlightening couple of years.
