I like Truman. I wish we'd get a plain speaker back in office.

"Mitt Romney shoots first and aims later"....sounds pretty plain to me. Harry would have been proud...

Obama = Truman?

'That's what happens when you've got a goddam fool in the White House' - Truman, on Eisenhower, after Castro went to the reds - on record.

Truman had the luxury of being an ex-president when he said that. Also, I doubt that remark was meant for public consumption.

And, in fairness to Ike, no fool, it was probably the result of having a god damned fool in the State Department and his idiot brother as DCI.

Agreed about him being ex President. It was said on record to a reporter.

Obama = Truman (or FDR) comments kill me

Me too. Obama is MUCH better than either of them!

No, he's not. And there-in lies my discontent with Obama. Compared to FDR and Harry S., Obama is weak. Very weak. If he was a strong as FDR, the lead he'd have over Romney right now would be in the double digits, but it's not. Look at the crappy, half assed campaign Romney is running.....and there is still a strong chance that he may win.

What does that tell you?

The average American voter sucks, exceptionally.

The average American voter is struggling to figure out who to vote for. They don't really like either candidate and it's coming down to generalities and party loyalty. People don't even know what Romneys plan is and some will tell you they don't even trust the guy----yet plan to vote for him anyways.

Not trying to be a downer, Bob, just calling it as I see it.
