cares about good grades? I never did. I had always told myself that a D was a good grade. Although I was very smart I was completely irresponsible when it came to turning in assignments for classes.

Our President does speak very gallantly to the likes of both Roosevelts and of Lincoln‚ but unlike those three our current President doesn’t follow through on his promises.

Considering that Republicans hold the majority in both House’s I understand where Mr. Obama is
