Tony Rezko and Barack Obama, photo credits: PoliticoWe’re in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and bogged down in two wars, but in the run up to the presidential election in November, neither of the two major candidates is qualified to steer the nation safely through good times, much less these deeply troubled waters.

“Rollins suggested McCain should reconsider and pledge to serve only one term in office and then focus solely on revitalizing the economy and getting troops out of Iraq.”
Now there’s an idea!
