Sorry to say that, but most (>99%) politicians = crook and liar.
Europe is full of them as well.
Like in Germany, they fight each other unless the talk about higher pensions
and a raise for themself. Then they are united and vote with a majority of
90% for it. They waste billions and it is nobodys fault.
In Germany we have Schneider and Flow-Tex with fraud in billions.
2 yrs and they are free. Of course all their money is taken except of that
of their wifes.

Jesse, is the only "politician" in the last 10 years that really impressed
me. Maybe he will move to Europe/Germany after being governer and become
German chancellor. I'd even move back and vote for him.
or hopefully GO FOR PRESIDENT of the free world
