Other Franklin quotes :

A great Empire, like a great Cake, is most easily diminished at the Edges.

    We’re stuck with him for 2 more years. But America wanted him—though they regret it now. I’d say people people are sheep but why insult sheep?

        yes but the laws signed by a president stay laws even after their term has ended. All simple minded people are quick to blame Obama because they are simple minded and simple minded people never look beyond the surface of things. People often mistake the presidents power for what it is. He can only do so much.
