[NU Sports] football and brains

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I understand that it is going to take a while for the character assassination kool-aid to pass through the systems of those who consumed it.

We're in pretty tough shape right now as a country.  Whether you like the choice or not, it's going to take everyone rowing in the same direction to keep our ship of state from heading over the falls.  

Immediately after 9-11, there was a call and the American people responded as one even though many felt that the wrong guy was in the white house then too.  That same call is going out now.  Time to put aside partisanship and pick up oar.

We've traded a guy who doesn't really believe in much for a guy in the White House that we don't know much about but who has demonstrated  a penchant for hanging around with some pretty bad characters.  That ain't good. When I was in the CIC one of the things we learned was not to judge people by what they say but rather by what they do.  Buyer's remorse is about to take hold.  That is it for politics.
