Barack Obama

Will be able to spread the good word about ACA to the public in a most effective way. I heard on CBS early this morning that some poll or other says 44% of people think Obamacare has either been repealed, never became law, or is about to be repealed. WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN? You don't expect most people to be political junkies but that report boggles the mind. Reminds me of a girl I knew who somehow graduated college still in firm possession of the 'fact' that DC is located in Washington State.

Still, how we get the public to the finish line is less important than just getting them there, isn't it?

I love Boston, too, and admire its spirit so much. My favorite big city in the world.

As for horses, like people they all have different roles to play. Therapy horses, for instance, are every bit as grand as Secretariat in their own right. And he could've run my little mare into the ground anywhere up to 2 miles; after that even he'd be done, where she was only warming up. Once I let her circle a mile track 3 times at top speed and she hardly broke a sweat. After the 4th circuit I slowed her down because I was afraid she'd run herself to death as some horses will. We spent the 5th circuit on cool down. And all that on the track alone w/o competition to stir her up. She was simply the hottest runner I ever knew.

BTW, a friend bought a full blood brother of Secretariat at auction for only $6K because he had no inner fire at all. Looked exactly like his brother but she used him for a kids' horse, he was that plodding. Never can tell where lightning will strike.
