No, man. Listen:
Obama is smarter than McCain. He's smarter than Bush. He's smarter than me, if you can believe it.
But do I care if Obama can:
1) Fix my toilet?
2) Balance my books?
3) Remove my appendix?
4) Parge my lath?
5) Sort my integers?
No. All trivia.
- jhancock 18y agoHave you ever parged a lath? I can assure you sir, it is not trivial.
- hugh 18y agoHaving had my appendix removed last week, I'm really glad I didn't have to rely on any politician to do it. Unfortunately, making the government responsible for appendix-removal is one of the things which Obama wants to do. Comparing my experiences in US hospitals ("Oh hi, here's a bed and two nurses, your surgeon and his team will be along in ten minutes") to my experiences in Australian hospitals ("Oh hi, here's a wheelchair, please wait here for six hours") I really am not keen to see the US system become more like the Australian one.
- yummyfajitas 18y agoI'd let Ron Paul remove my appendix.
- davidw 18y agoWell, considering how much more you pay in the US, you would expect better service. The trick would be to design a system where some minimum is guaranteed for everyone, and things are nicer for those willing to pay more.
