I remember that the first thing my mother would say about FDR was that he gave us beer again. The cash benefits that Biden brought people will probably be remembered in the same way, and woe betide the Republicans if they take it away. I am also reminded of how Truman won by running against a "do-nothing Congress."

Awww, you folks are the sweetest! This was so nice to find tonight when we got home from Maine. We had a very good visit with the Kidz and Grands. In fact, the blog will finally have some different sort of photos! Yay!

ReplyDeleteI remember the Truman campaign -- I was 12 at the time. Was that Congress really worse than our present do-nothing Senate?
