Research Begins

After the caucuses, I spent a few hours on the internet finding out what people really thought about BO. I'll fill you in on the results later, but first I want to relate a story about what first piqued my interest in BO.

About a year ago, I was listening to NPR when an interview with BO came on. He was asked about how he had decided to run for the nomination. He said that people began calling him and asking him if he wanted to run. He was on that like fleas on a dog, ready to run right out and start doing whatever it is that presumptive nominees do. But the folks who were asking him to run (never actually identified by BO in the interview from what I can remember) sugested that maybe he ought to ask his wife before he signed on, so he did. The wife of BO told him to hold his horses and take a few days to think about and discuss with her all the ramifications of a presidential bid. He then noted that his better half often had to reign him in and prevent him from running off half cocked.

Wow, I thought as I listened. What kind of presidential nominee proudly lets the world know that his wife often has to reign him in and make him think about things before he does them. Thank goodness this flake doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the nomination. History would certainly prove me wrong on that last point, but that was my first impression of BO.
