A Moment of Political Correctness
I know the following list of little bits about our current President has been floating around email forwards and myspace.com bulletins for ages...and it's outdated and the facts may not all be 100% accurate. But sometimes it's the thought that counts.Especially when I went to put $10 of gas in my truck today and I thought, "I remember 6 years ago when $10 would give me 3/4 of a tank of gas." Tonight, 1/4 tank. Seriously. On both statistics. So my thought is counting for a lot tonight. Or not a lot, depending on which side of the pump you are on.
