Drew, I agree we need someone of Teddy's caliber today, and there's no one in sight who could hold a candle to him. He was not without major flaws, but his virtues out-weighed his faults. His was a thorough racist and a ruthless bully against those he did not respect. But no politician today seems to care much about the poor. Some are trying to salvage the middle class but with no visible effect. Our country is run by "the interests" TR fought so hard. We have the finest government money can buy.
