that's a boom. a big boom.

You are hilarious. Now the worse the person right before you is, the better you are when you are accepted by the public in you first weeks? It seems to me that it should be the other way around. It's relatively easy to look good in the public's eyes when you've had eight horrible years of presidency before you. And it's relatively difficult to look good when you had someone before you who looked relatively good, like Bill Clinton...

Quite frankly, this is not the type of discussion I expected from you. You can do better than that...
