I have no desire to be thrown, and have my family thrown, into the spotlight. I often think of Jefferson and his longing for Monticello, Washington and his Mt. Vernon. I've worked hard to get a small slice of that. I don't want to leave or disturb it. Sure, I'd like to hold up traffic at LAX while fufu gives me a haircut, call up FBI files on anyone I want, play the bongos on Air Force One, or commit felonies and get away with it.
Worthwhile goals require sacrifice.
The way I see it, being President would be a small price to pay for the opportunity to implement my agenda. That's why I'm here. Admittedly the debate in which the Admiral used those phrases was not his finest moment, the man is a true hero. I have only the utmost respect for him and his service to our country. It would serve us all well to read the Admiral's story.
