I'm betting Faux News, Talk Radio or both. FWIW, people who watch Faux actually know less about the news than those who watch no news at all. Namely, the things they think they know are false.

Yeah I was going to say something like where did you hear that? But did not want to argue with him...he is a regular in the retired military que for the store....

I figured it was Rush or Fox...anyway that sort of change would require legislation.

I wanted to ask him if he had hated FDR also...this guy enlisted at age 17 during
WWII and did real well rose to rank of CDR...

pretty cool dude..always calls me Doc
