And there should be no whining about it later, either.  Before he was
elected, he spent more raised, taxpayer money that any candidate in
history.  He set the precedent for future campaigns...he spends money
like it grows on trees.  They say past behavior is indicative of future
behavior.  Even with Ayer's Anneburg foundation thing, he was great at
spending money he did not earn himself.   It has made me realize what a
fiscal conservative I am.

asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
