Guess they knew what they were talking about when they formed this country, too bad 233 years later some of us stopped listening it seems...

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both."

HUH? What are you talking about??? Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson both had slaves. BOO Right, they did. This is something we learn about in second grade? And that said - the Civil War, thankfully, set them free. Just because someone believes in one thing that is wrong - such as slavery - doesn't make all they believe in wrong. These people still knew what they were talking about when it comes to politics, and I think that is what makes some of you, not all of you, mind you, so angry when we bring them up. Other under circumstances I may have voted Obama, but not with what in my opinion seems to be lack of experience and a rather shady past that for myself I cannot just sweep under a rug, some present actions and ideas not excluded. Oh, and about his fixing the economy ---- You don't spend money you don't have. Take care, everyone.
