Agree. I have thought that for some years now.

Good luck with that.

That’s really nice, cavie.

Thanks for owning your opinion!

Those are my considered opinions. Just FYI, anything we say are our opinions, unless they are indisputable and supported by overwhelming evidence.

Now for your sense of bad humor, your response probably adds to the body of evidence, but hey, that is just my opinion.

Two opinions that are yours and should not be stated as facts
1) My humor is bad….
2) he is a very good Man….
Both could be argued and others have various opinions like yours and like mine. Please do not state opinion as if it was fact, often the sign of narrow thinking.

Hard to read it that way, Cave.

I confess to being extremely curious as to Pres Obama’s grades at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard Law. Having read both of his books, I observe there is very little in that period of his life untold, so the issue of his grades is a legitimate source of curiosity.

All Presidents, the worst ones in particular, become more beloved with the passage of time. Sometimes, that is exacerbated or accelerated by the comparison with their successor.

While Ronald Reagan has been elevated to sainthood, I confess to being very skeptical. The reality of his presidency (in particular, the Iran-Contra illegality) was not nearly as saintly as seemingly noted today. Same thing with Jimmy Carter (the best ex-President ever).

Pres Obama is going to have a tougher time of things because so much of his legacy is invested in Obamacare and that is going to be unraveled completely (though things like pre-existing conditions and children on parental insurance policies are going to survive).

I predict that Pres Obama does not go gracefully and will be unable to resist the temptation to attempt to be Pres Trump’s co-president, thereby delivering almost the entire Senate to the Republicans in 2018. While personally popular, he does not seem to get the unpopularity of many of his policies which gave the Republicans their big wins in 2014/16. He created Pres Trump, no?

Always welcome. Bring your A game and fire away. No thin skins here. [As a matter of fact, I have a steel skin. I am, after all, a Big Red Car.]

Hope the New Year treats you well. It is off to an interesting start, no?

We are in uncharted territory with icebergs and shoals ahead. Living the Chinese curse — “May you live in interesting times.”

Just came by your bar to say hi. We miss you at AVC. Seems like you and a few others are enjoying yourselves with very little dissent or debate. If you do not mind some raucous and violent disagreements, I may want to participate once in a while..

Good to talk to you again.
