Now I was never a big fan of the former president but what if he had done some of the things Barry has so far?
A four-hour stop in New Orleans, on his way to a $3 million fundraiser.
Snubbing the Dalai Lama.
Signing off on a secret deal with drug makers.
Freezing out a TV network.
Doing more fundraisers than the last president. More golf, too.

Looks pretty awesome! Can’t wait to read about the specs.
