    Huh? Please explain
    If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.

    Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.

    When handed a life threatening situation he came up with a life saving out come in a very short time. How long does it take the leaders of this nation to make any decisions?

    You mistake in your comparison is thinking that our leaders care about this country. They only care about themselves
    If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.

    Lets go back to basics, who elected the leaders? Personally Sully would get my vote. His past performance is impeccable and he didn't make any promises.

    Politions do care about this country. They have to keep it running to get their money. They all take money from the same cookie jar and all have to follow the same rules to keep it coming in. Big money started this country behind closed doors. And runs it the same way today. We have a generation in power now that all we can hope fore is they die before the do too much more damage. Government will always be run by big money. Take the money away from them and maybe,,,, things would change. But then you still have all that power. Were DOOMED!!!
    ITS ALL GOOD

    A big difference that happen starting with the first Obamanation campaign is that the takers figured out that they can vote themselves entitlements, paid for by the makers. That is the definition of the end of a republic.

    The electoral college reduces the possibly of mob rule by the takers, but the takers are breeding at a fast rate and infecting states nationwide. The Tidepod generation will be voting in the next presidential election. This country will cease to exist as we know it within one more generation. It is already an Obamanation of its formerly, great self. For proof, just look at our incredible high deficit, greatly reduced manufacturing and industrial capabilities and horrible, indoctrination-style education system. The country was the tops in all 4 when I was growing up. I'm 54. All this change happened in just 50 years of horrible politicians.

    He was highly motivated because he had real skin in the game (his own imminent peril) and I don't mean pork kickbacks !!! Our politicians should have real skin in the game. Not just pork kickbacks and a lifetime membership in the political cast system, but real meaningful personal downsides for failure, negligence, misconduct and corruption. Prosecuting a few and imprisoning them like any other common criminals would be a nice start but we all know all of the media and Senate/Congressional hearings are just political theater with no true corrective actions or measured punishments for those in the protected political cast.
