So instead I will shake your hand and say thank you. Thank you for speaking so clearly what I, too, would like our future President to hear. Not listen to, but HEAR. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for serving our country and loving it so completely. I know that the freedoms I enjoy are preserved by you, your wife, and others like you.

I'll disagree with you on the Clinton one (I really think that the country should focus on how someone runs the country much more than on their personal life, which is, after all, PERSONAL) but I'm right with you on the rest of them. Hear hear!

And I agree with most of it. On the health care issue, I'm sick of hearing that if you can "afford" it, well, at least I can afford it. We pay nearly $800 a month for health care, and that's for a 5.5K family deduction. Do you think we've gone to the doctor? So happy to help with Blue Cross's thick color statements that question why we haven't deposited money into our HSA on top of the monthly fee. But no, I'm not angry. Energy? Until everyone gets his head out of his rump over the ancient idea that the American automobile industry is king, nothing will change. Too many lobbyists, too many people worried about losing their net worth should this change. They don't care about what will happen to their grandchildren. They only care about their wallets, and the politicians are beholden to them so we get to deal with it. With respect to parties? If I remember correctly, I barely missed voting for Ford, then there was Carter (no I didn't vote for him, but I lived through the prime interest rate of 18% with two babies...) and yes I voted for Reagan. Then Bush, then Perot, then Clinton, then Gore, and Kerry...All over the place. I do think about the person and not the party. Besides, I don't fit cleanly into either one, thankfully. It's a stoopid concept. Okay, I'll stop. How many words? A record comment? I could keep going...You should see the moon pies I made today... Impressive. And I agree with most of it.

I just would say stop giving money to terror sponsored states around the world and invest that money into our youth, which is our future.
