Arrogant Americans, Mr. President?

never said that they shouldn't be restricted to 2 terms.  I said their age shouldn't be a factor.  as long as they have all their marbles I don't care if they are 94 or 49.

Maybe it wouldn't take so long for the senate to do something if the old men could speak their piece and sit down.  Did you hear Specter yesterday?  I think he ah'd and oh'd between every word.  If that is the way that bills are debated, no wonder nothing can get done.

Maybe there shouldn't be an age limit, but there should certainly be some common sense used.  Just because they want to set a record on how long they can stay in office shouldn't be their reason for being there.

I think the chief justice that is retiring might be one of the smartest men in Washington.  He is getting out while he is still enough alive to have a life.

Mr. President ummms and uhhhhhs and ummmmms some more unless he's got a teleprompter....some people no matter how high an office they hold just aren't gifted with public speaking....that shouldn't be held against them tho because they were "duly elected to office and deserve that respect..." (i have to go wash my mouth out with soap now...)

Don't worry wilma, if Dashle has his way we won't have to set an age limit.
