Agreed...but, until people develop the intelligence to pick and choose leaders for something more than their hairstyle and friendly smile,we're going to have these SOBs running things. Honesty doesn't win elections in today's society--only money and a good "spin doctor" does. Few people today know how to look beyond the image and get some feeling of the reality underneath.
