Oh contraire, fellas. I "think" if you re-read Tom's post again, you just "might" see this part of it somewhere a little farther down... Quote:
As I'm selling things to make my mortgage and spending countless hours searching for a job, he walks away from his position to a ranch in Texas with full medical and retirement salary.
Uh huh. Sure, Tom's peeved because of the TONE of the President's words alright, BUT...the CRUX of his exasperation IS that there's this "Golden Parachute" waitin' for a certain someone in Crawford TX, which Tom doesn't get.
Ya see, THAT'S one of the little problems people seem to have today. They take the TONE of something said, but they tend to relegate the ACTUAL WORDS which are said to a secondary, and thus less important level of consciousness.
And ya know WHY! because...FEW PEOPLE SEEM TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO ANY GREAT EXTENT ANYMORE!!! That's why.
(now don't you guys ever get tired of bein' just a little less correct about stuff than I am...I mean, it HAS to eat away at ya just a little, doesn't it?!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
