Well, if you use Teflon's own criteria for judging who the first black president was/is, it still goes to Clinton <<eg>> Teflon himself said that the ability to dance was the criteria. Quite honestly, having danced competitively, I can say that Clinton is the better dancer. All Teflon does is the same kind of shuffle Oprah does and that ain't dancing! <g>

Well, my point was that behind every good man, there is an evil dragon woman running the show. Just ask DH, he will tell you the truth. <g>

The U.S. is less literate than it was
50 years ago which clearly proves that throwing money at education AND having the Feds involved is NOT going to produce a literate population. The dropout rates just keep climbing. Violence in schools is increasing. And what is the difference between 1909 and 2009? The involvement of the Federal government!

And the lack of parental involvement, the lack of family time to instill values, etc. etc.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race"

~ Calvin Coolidge
