#1 "The president and I, he's in his last term, I'm probably in mine, the relationship we have had over the past three years is quite good,"

Yes, we've noticed.

#9 He still acts like a prisoner of war, trying to get along with those who are in power in DC, instead of standing up to them with his fundamental principles. Those behaviors may have been necessary for a prisoner of war but not for a Senator. I do not understand his posturing in Egypt, as well as his unrestrained hawkishness for a Syrian attack. He embarrasses himself and does not realize it. What would he have done as a president? He may have been nearly as bad as O. It is disconcerting to think about it.

We in the US have made the atmosphere of elective office so toxic that only sociopaths, opportunity seekers, and bottom feeders want the job. Good professional people, with a desire for public service, are unwilling to put up with the viciousness, toxic atmosphere, and ad hominem attacks on themselves and members of their families.

Therein lies the fundamental flaw in our present day republic. Solve that problem and you are on the way to responsible and sustainable government.
