I'm just amazed that Daou made the concession of letting Obama be on stage at the same time as Lady Galadriel Clinton, All Shall Love Her And Despair.

I was a little surprised by that myself.

yeah I would have to agree. The entire transaction is "we voted for you to Do These Things, now that you're in office you had better Do These Things or else we're not going to vote for you anymore (and you will lose office and all the stuff that comes with it)"

the very reason why lots of politicians turn bad is when that consequence is no longer feared: if they can be poo poo and still win, why bother being better? Putting on ideological blinders, gerrymandering, invoking lesser-evil-ism, all of that plays into this poo poo

that's not even a sufficient motivator now. someone gets elected, is a total poo poo, loses their primary or next election- oh well now they don't have to spend all day dialing for dollars and they can take their newly enlarged rolodex across the street to a lobbying shop for several times their former salary

They really do, both have spent a pathetic number of years pinning for the love and respect of an authoritative woman, in whom they have nestled their entire self-worth.

quote:

Howard Schultz is stepping down from his role as executive chairman of Starbucks, effective June 26, according to a memo sent to employees Monday.

Schultz is seen as the architect of the modern Starbucks, having overseen its expansion from a single coffee shop that opened in Seattle's Pike Place Market in 1971. He joined Starbucks in 1982 as director of operations and marketing. Over time he grew it into the iconic brand it is today, with more than 28,000 locations globally.

Schultz's latest leadership transition sparked speculation about his potential political plans: He has been a supporter of former President Barack Obama and Hilliary Clinton during her bid for president. Some have already questioned whether he would pursue his own presidential run.

"I'll be thinking about a range of options for myself, from philanthropy to public service, but I'm a long way from knowing what the future holds," Schultz said in the memo.

like the founders didn't think of that? they were very mindful for the whole monarchical tyranny issue. the president can pardon himself all he wants........... but the constitution allows congress to do something if he abuses this power:
