The more I learn the more I realize how much I don't know so if you want to call me stupid it doesn't bother me. I said it before, but you probably missed it, I chose that name because I have an interest in neurology. And if I could change my name to neurology without losing my history I would.
One more thing, Robert Kennedy Junior is still my favorite candidate to replace Obama and it is possible because I'm quite sure Obama made the wrong decision on Afghanistan. He should've left that place as soon as possible and if you don't believe me you should watch Bill Moyers this week. Obama has made the same mistake Lyndon Johnson made with Vietnam.

Are you kidding me? Did you hear what the man had to say? Did you listen carefully? Why did they applaud spontaneously after he finished speaking? How about, as John McEnroe would say, '' you can't be serious!''
Did you ever hear Bush make a speech like that? Did you ever hear Bush, or any other president provide you with such historical context and factual information? Sure Obama came close when he delivered that keynote speech for John Kerry, when Kerry was nominated to lead the Democratic Party. You remember that one don't you? “There is not a white America and there is not a black America! There is the United States of America!” Obama came close but that was not, in my opinion, as good as Robert Kennedy Junior.
One other guy I like very much is Mario Cuomo, the former governor of the great state of New York. I remember when he said during that keynote speech of his, which David Brinkley said right after it was over that night on ABC news, “ I think it's the best I've ever heard.” I remember Mario Cuomo saying, “The United States is not a shining city on a hill but a tale of two cities; ” in reply to Ronald Reagan's speech. I remember Cuomo asking Reagan if he talked to the unemployed steel workers in Lackawanna, or if he talked to the single mother in Illinois trying to find a way to raise her child on her own and he gave several other examples to show Reagan didn't know what he was talking about.
But I digress; your comment about his grey matter doesn't mean he's not qualified or capable just because you say so. As far as I'm concerned as long as some nut doesn't blow his brains out, if he runs, he will win the Democratic nomination and he will become the next president and deservedly so. But he doesn't deserve to be president because he deserves better just like Al Gore. Gore didn't win and he ended up winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, for what you said about global warming.

This is my guy. I would start a draft Robert Kennedy Junior movement. This speech was awesome. You have to listen to both parts because when he's finished they applaud.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: 1

Brain, there's what, 300 million people in this country and you come up with this guy? None of the Kennedy's is famous for having an abundance of "gray matter" you know.
Haven't we had enough of the Kennedys to satiate anyone?
Brain, if you're going to run someone don't you want to run someone who at least has a chance to win?
There's too many people in the country who don't like the Kennedys.
Hell, I'm FROM Boston, Mass and I don't like them! I'd NEVER vote for any of those scumbags.
Ok, lemme guess, your name "BRAIN", it's a joke right?
