I highly doubt it. Cuomo has a BIG ego! I can just see it now...ROFLMAO!!
And, I understand he's popular. So, who cares?

BTW. I can't think of any bigger ego than someone who honestly believes they have been chosen by God himself to run for President.

Can you?

I don't think anyone can make it through the gauntlet unless that IS what you believe...

That's a tough road...

Thank God that we're still a democracy and have opposing viewpoints. The alternative has never worked out very well for the people. You surely aren't proposing a monarchy?

It's not money that Congress lacks, it's humility. And the ability to SUPERVISE, MANAGE, and concentrate on their responsibilities. The humor comes just from seeing Boehner as a repairman of ANY type. Because these talentless morons PRETEND they are the GroupenFuhrers of knowledge for every aspect of society.

Don't think Ronald Reagan was the 1st to use this but he said..

Take away the tool belt, replace those power tools with atomic weapons, and you start to see how scary it actually is..

Reagan also raised the debt ceiling. On more than one occasion, as I understand it.
But, you probably had no problem with it, then.

And, I want the TP to stay. They are an eternal font of amusement. They mental image of a bunch of yahoos who dress up like it's 1776, fancy themselves to be "Great Americans" and push around Boehner like he's the schoolyard geek is priceless.
