Fred Thompson - New Government Programs Explained

I wasn't sure whether to put this in comedy or the soapbox - the message uses biting humor to convey its message.

The link connects to a youtube video.

Fred does have a flair and presence I really like. Where was that flair a year ago?

Would have helped if his heart had actually been in running for office.

That was my thought as well.

Perhaps one day we will why it never came together for Fred. Just a shame, IMHO.

I think Fred's wife wants to be First Lady more than Fred wants to be POTUS.

Make no mistake. Fred is basically a mere attorney who got into acting, and; he is not much more then the ZERO. He is no damn real businessman like Corker. Fred also keeps company with snobs.
