Unless, I know someone personally,I do not know!!! Imagine, if you will Gershon, that you were trashed daily in the news and on TV? Even though you were a good man. All the mindless numbskulls would loathe you. We are quick to hate and judge in our generation. And we are fools too quick to judge. Best we see the villainy in our own hearts. As if we were honest!Hah! Tell us Your character defects openly. Why not? Panagiota Judge not, lest you be judged also!

I think, perhaps, you took this little monoku too seriously. It's almost a national pastime to poke a lot of fun at politicians, especially Presidents. Some of them, like Kennedy, Reagan, and the Bushes could laugh at themselves. Others, like Obama and Trump, couldn't/can't take a joke. (Their problem). That's all this is about. ~ Gershon

O.K. Though at the same time that it's funny, it's sad took, isn't it? After all, remember 'Honest Abe' Lincoln and 'I cannot tell a lie; I chopped down the cherry tree' George Washington. Even if their honesty was more legend than truth, it still shows how we (used to?) value it in our leaders. Thanks for the feedback, Heidi! :) gw
