And Jurgen, Thanks, I agree with you about hard choices. I wish that my keyboard had the (2 dots) to spell your name correctly. There is so much that is great about the U.S., I have a completely different view of how to preserve it than the current leadership.
What we have now are candidates who will say anything for votes, I would love to hear a major candidate give some tough news and solution. Bush tried to sell himself as a "conciliator", (should have been suspicious when he couldn't pronounce it),

, he is anything but. The country and the world is far, far more divided than it was 3 years ago.
