He's looking at Generals and Admirals eh?
Here's an idea since he's been saying "Change" all the time, why not an Enlisted person for running mate instead of an Officer?
How about oh,.....maybe Lee Ermy for V.P. instead of another, "Who am I and why should you care" Admiral Stockdale?
Do we really need anymore buearocrats in govt?
You know, the people who keep telling us that things are "too complicated" to think in simplistic terms etc, etc, etc.
Here's an idea, let's try "simplifying" things!
It's pretty obvious that "complicating things" is no longer working.
You read the resumes of people like that and they all look the same!
"College-University, "Director" of this or that, "assigned to the state dept, defense dept, congressional "this or that" office, "fill in the blank" as "liason" to...that's a *GOOD* one, "Liason to" means they spent a LOT of time on the golf course and at cocktail parties!
"But, but, ...we have to! To get to "know" each other better!"
You know, I keep hearing the saying, " How can you keep doing the same things and expect a different result" all the time and it makes sense.
Isn't it time that we started to dismantle all these buearocracies in Washington?
Now, I have to go vote in S. Carolina's primary election.
There's a bunch of us who want to *shitcan* Senator Lindsey Graham!
His ads call him "a Military man."
Ah,...he was a Lawyer in the Air Force!
I wonder if he ever left the "office" to go out on maneuvers with the Troops?
I bet he knew where all the Golf Courses and free Cocktail Parties were!

I don't give a damn who he picks for VP....

but if Obama absolutely HAS to be our President, he needs someone like this as Secretary of Defense

Celtic, after reading his biography I concur.

P.S. "I Voted!"
