For the first time in 46 years, our President is a Federal Legislator,

[denem]

a recent legislator. Our VP is a legislator of vast experience. Our Secretary of State is a fiercely partisan legislator, however you interpret her votes. 'The' Chief of Staff is a legislator of the ultra pirana variety.

"Don't bet against us". Hey Congress, we know where it hurts. Indeed.

1. An unrec already!

:loveya: I am loved. :loveya:

[TahitiNut]

2. It appears

... that someone has decided to 'unrec' new OPs as soon as they appear. :shrug: (Some folks just can't get over it.)

[denem]

3. I've posted some silly things in a spirit of fun, and

what comes around, goes around, I guess. Peace.

[question everything]

13. And this is why I take a few minutes to R every post which is "less than 0"

without even bothering to read it.

Two can play this stupid game. I have no idea why Skinner et al are enamored with this system that just magnifies the cliquish nature of DU.

I was actually surprised that among recent rescues were some by individuals who usually are revered on these pages.

4. 46??

2009-46=1963
Nixon was in Congress before becoming Senator, but yes, it was 16 years between him being Senator and then becoming President. But Ford was House Minority Leader right before becoming vice-President. Just trying to correctly state the facts.

5. LBJ took power in 1963,

a congressional numbers man if ever there was one.

8. The elder Bush served in the Hosue of Representatives

And his VP had been a Senator.

9. Recent Legisators. Obama, Biden, Clinton & Emanuel came straight from Congress.

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. Quayle came directly from Congress

as did Walter Mondale.

[asksam]

11. But they don't count...

... because the ReThugs stole the election (as they usually try to do) in 1988.

[denem]

6. Kick.

1 AM. (If perchance to dream)

[SunsetDreams]

7. Indeed

12. Ford 35 years ago

unrec for history failure.
