Two afflicted with Potomac Fever

Prior to the 1960 election there was some discussion about age and running.

Stan The Man Musial, born November 21, 1920, was considered getting too old to run.  Jack Kennedy who born May 29, 1917, was three and a half years older was considered too young to run.

Kennedy was about 43 and a half years old when he took office.

His predecessors:

Dwight David Eisenhower:  Was 62

Harry S Truman:  Was 61 when he took office

Franklin Delano Roosevelt:  Was 62 at his last inauguration.

Our country grew old with FDR.  Both Kennedy and Nixon were of a younger generation.

I feel that Obama's disastrous foreign policy is in part due to his inexperience (youth).  Comments on his foreign policy can be found at http://www.thenational.ae/opinion/comment/obamas-flawed-foreign-policy-doctrine-laid-bare

According to the Urban Dictionary:

Potomac Fever (n): A disease peculiar to the greater Washington, DC, metropolitan area that presents chiefly as an intense desire in the infected to be associated with the power and prestige of the United States Federal Government, particularly the Executive Branch. Associated symptoms include acts of extreme obsequiousness to those in power or likely to be in power; asserting as fact things one knows or suspects not to be true and; a burning desire to do more work for less pay.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz seem to be afflicted by Potomac Fever.

Pardon Bill

Bill Cosby has lived too long.  John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a philanderer but he got shot in 1963.

Tiger Woods was a saint until his down fall.  I thought he still exemplified "high performance."

Bill Clinton was as powerless as Obama should be when Ole Slick Willy engaged in whatever.  David Gergen helped rescue his Presidency.

Jimmy Carter said something about lusting in his heart.  I'm guilty of that too.

I thought I had reduced my sins to pew possessiveness and road rage.  My spouse decided to leverage every Joe Biden initiative and thought to complicate my life.

She's a 47%'er all the way.

There should be a law against lying to the court in Florida as well as New Jersey.  The Court in Florida should apply the Standing Order to both genders.

President Obama can't fix all the Family Law ills in the country.  His administration dropped Tort Reform so long ago we don't even remember it.

President Obama can issue a pardon to Bill Cosby for all his crimes of omission and commission.

What does our country think typical male behavior is?

Has it changed over the years?

No more collateral casualties

President George W. Bush defined counter-terrorism to be strikes against terrorists (and countries which harbor them).

President Obama has extended it to strikes against countries that aren't openly fighting with us (as allies not enemies).
