Sure, that would have been just after he was made Pope and accepted the Oscar for Best Director for the movie "The Godfather."

Can you tell us when Biden was Speaker of the House?

We'll never get anywhere from here if both sides have that kind of view on each other. "They" aren't that monolithic in real life - at least not in my experience.

He should not have run for a second term. We could have had an open contest and a full airing of policy options.

I would assert that being a congressional leader requires a similar skill set. I think we need some new, smart leaders who are great communicators and who will stand up for all of us, regardless of the cost- not the same crew we've had for a few decades now.

This "she doesn't have the experience or relationships" is a theme the past few days. She's no less qualified to chair a committee that Obama or JFK were to be president. Here's my theme: If you always do what you always did then don't be surprised when you always get what you always got.

Kinda like JFK and Obama, Dr. Bee? How long were they in Congress before attaining the presidency? I'm 68 and I'm ready for a new group of leaders to emerge. I suspect using the word "learning" here means doing what we've always done and expecting a different result.
