You conveniently left out the fact that he has honesty, decency and intregity (things the Koch brothers CLEARLY lack).

How so? Buffet doesn't even spend his money. He earns it for the challenge, not for the luxury. He still lives in his old farmhouse in what Nebraska? And drives some broken down car and wears low end clothing.

Buffet is notorious for being frugal and not buying lavish things.

I like Hillary, but this administration is going to leave her stained and IMO she won't be a viable candidate.

If you pay attention - you will see that I joined this forum in February 2011.

McCain was running for president in 2008.

HIllary as president would be the best thing for the United States in terms of respect and admiration around the world.

To lead, you have to be either loved or feared. Fear is more expensive to maintain, and less successful in the long run.

Both she and her husband have respect around the world in spades.... even if the bat**** crazy rightwingers don't like them (plus, the RWNJs will be even less relevant four years from now).

Warren bought his 6000' house in 1958 for about $40,000. In today's dollars that's a pretty penny for a young man with three kids.

If Mitt Romney bought and lived in a 6000' mansion as a young man of 27 you'd nail him to the cross.

He drives a new Cadillac and his private jet was a Boeing 737. He has a $10 million home in Laguna Beach and once spent company funds on a private jet.

Don't kid yourself.
