How about judging President Obama on what he does or the results of the current events when he is president(which he may or may not be responsible for). American politics seem to be like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars, gee does he or she look good? do they talk well? do they dress nice? Well then they must be the best!!!  Funny, here in Philadelphia where I live , The manager of the baseball team ,Charlie Manuel has been constantly derided for both his accent and his speech impediments.The media ,both print and radio insinuated he must be a dope, especially after every loss.. But he shore enuff got sum smartyer after the World Series... Yay Phillies btw
