During his 1968 campaign for president, Robert Kennedy criticized the gross national product as a poor barometer of the nation’s health because GNP counts “cigarette advertising and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage … special locks for our doors and the jails for those who break them … napalm and the cost of a nuclear warhead … and the television programs which glorify violence to sell toys to our children.” What GNP does not measure, he said, is “the health of our children, the quality of our education or the joy of their play,” nor “the beauty of our poetry [nor] the strength of our marriages … [nor] our wit and our courage.” The GNP, he said, “measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.”

Who does that remind you of out of the President, Rep Candidate, and Dem Candidate? Certainly not the lame duck.

this president is the biggest joke of our entire 200+ year history. It’s more sad than funny but not all jokes are funny.

I want to know who the other 29 percent are, so I can punch them in the throat.
