The Best Man for the Job…

is a woman. After being mayor and governor she certainly doesn’t have the thin executive resumé that is NoBamba & McSame . She actually RAN a city and a state where they haven’t.  Now, I don’t ordinarily sing the praises of politicians, and I won’t start here and now, as people are people. We’re all imperfect and all will disappoint - being human and all. {I am not sure Obama knows that}. There are however, a few things to note and … Read entire article »
