   just political commentary:   
      
   Can you think of another president in recent memory that likes   
   publicity stunts like "flying himself" on to the deck of a navy   
   carrier at sea? Or making a "secret, covert" trip to Baghdad "in   
   support of the troops" and willing to show off a fiberglass turkey for   
   them? Or want's a showdown at high noon with terrorists but ran like a   
   scared chicken when it became clear Washington was under attack on   
   9/11?   
      
   Either he's just plain crazy or his handlers think he's expendable.   
      
   The Presidency is not supposed to be about headlines or fool stunts.   
   It represents our leadership, Our self-respect, Our Social commitments   
   to our fellow citizens and the rest of the world.   
      
    The American people need a leader not a headline crazed cowboy owned   
   and directed by Oil, Insurance and Pharmaceutical Companies.   
      
   But given the current American political climate a serious candidate   
   without "special interest" support who really did want to serve the   
   people would have to be crazy to run for office.
