Is that less bullshit?
But I wont waste anymore time 
... other than to suggest you read up on Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis. He not only consulted with Congress, but with the Organization of American States as well, and gave a national TV address to the nation...all while in the midst of the "crisis" |
O.k. Tully and DC,
Give me the names of three of your favorite Presidents who you think never violated their oath of office.
P.s. - To anyone innocently reading this and wonder why I don't throw in the towel. I have a personality quirk. There are times when I sink my teeth into something and I just can't let it go. I have been administering self-treatment and often use this forum to measure my progress. I have clearly relapsed. Because if Tully and DC give me three names I am going to obsess over the records of the Presidents they give to try and prove them wrong even though I know it won't make a difference. I often ask why, why was I born this way?
