oh?  which?  (not denying it, just asking for my information)

Bill *does* have a better grasp of what it takes to run a large
organization than I do.  But in any event I haven't elected him to spend
my money for me.  I *have* elected my senators to spend my money for me,
and they're the ones who would have a hand in sending it to the UN.

evil
politics. 

No argument there.
