Obama for President

But thanks to greed and mismanagement, ours has clearly become a fake, faith-based market. So we're left to attempt to bring our economy in for a soft landing, hopefully enabling the kind of fresh start we need without endangering people's money.

But 25 years ago, a kid with big '80s hair came down from a small Alaska town to attend two colleges in Idaho (among five she attended in all) and was so nondescript that even teachers and students who know they shared a class with her have no memories of her.
