It's a shame that sometimes those who are most qualified and able to lead a country have no chance at doing so, but those who end up with the position are often charlatans and scoundrels. I speak not only of your nation, but of mine (Canada), and perhaps every other nation on the planet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126230685516232230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-24059473027083694912015-10-08T19:52:40.117-07:002015-10-08T19:52:40.117-07:00Ugh...idiotic politics, I can't stand it.
