Maybe a number of senators should also have read this one and then given some consideration to applying these words to what we are willing to do with Russians.

"There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate upon real favours from Nation to Nation. 'Tis an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard." --George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

And this is from that same Farewell Address.... and yes, I'm pointing at the right wingers who preach sedition and pretend it is devotion to the Constitution:

"Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."

Even O is reading up on Conservatism.....

On President Obama's Hawaiian Reading List: Book on President Reagan - FoxNews.com

One of my instructors told our class, 'if you leave here with anything, at least know this: the most stupid one among you will learn the most'.

I wonder what O is trying to learn?

Consider it your patriotic duty to explain to the president what he should do.

Ain't it something how we can always pull up what supports what we believe? I will accept your quote if you can bring yourself to accept mine. However, I fail to see anything in yours that has to do with the subject at hand. You aren't trying to deflect, at all, are you?

I really think he should have read at least some part of Washlington's Farewell Address before his coronation, but then he may have found that he was unable to do the things he had set out to do.

Hell, Washington was the first President and Obama is the first black President. I think he should have looked at something from one of the founders, but then . . . . . . . .

Why is accepting things from the founders such a bad thing? Whoops, I might have hit on the answer. If we listen to them we will have trouble establishing real socialism so that must be the answer.
