Obama Taking Care of Business

Our president really has had some year, eh what? "Talk about gettin' er done!" I have really enjoyed watched a great negotiator at work. Oh, I know a lot happened behind the scenes, but it's all about results, baby.

Looking over my 53 years, I think Clinton was my favorite president in the results department, but Obama is still in the house. The whole sex scandal "in the house" was too sleazy and irresponsible for my taste.

JFK (How cool to be known by initials? Do we know JB? Nah. Even AL draws a "huh?") was so smooth and all about potential, but we will never know what might have been.

Ronald Reagan? I was working at Sears selling maintenance agreements (Don't ever buy one.) when he was elected for his second term and I thought the world would come to an end. It didn't and that whole Berlin Wall knock-down was pretty cool. Clearly, however, I am not a Republican, so it was a torturous 8 years for me. Ron got a lot done for his party though, gotta give him that and his speech delivery was excellent. (I would expect no less from an actor.)

Presidents fascinate me. I want to learn more about all of them. On my "To Do" list.
