Well, we all want a president more mature than you, Bev.  
Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Seriously, when I think of all the things I despise about the DC  
Whorehouse and the White House Command Center, I keep coming back to  
how most congresspeople keep getting reelected and how they  
indoctrinate the few new people coming in each election out of their  
fresh ideas and I beg all of you to vote against the incumbent and of  
course I may as well shout into the wind. I weigh the pros and cons of  
experience versus inexperience, of wise in the ways of Washington  
versus naive belief in what might be. I do not like how things have  
been handled by our elected servants for quite some time now. The  
occasional real promise was by the young guys, like JFK. That's why I  
am looking hard at Obama. Yes, young people make more mistakes. But  
they are more likely to be honest mistakes. The mistakes of entrenched  
power is on purpose.
