    If you want to impress link me up to an award recognition article that is critical of conservatives/GOP. That should be a good challenge. :-)
    I don't care to impress you, just prove you wrong which I did.

    Oh and about cronyism, show one administration that doesn't do that. It's an inherent fault in the political system, no one is immune.
    Well then, that makes it OK, huh?

    Speculation.

    Quote:

    Circumstances surrounding Buchanan's and King's close emotional ties have led to speculation that Buchanan was homosexual.[61] Buchanan's correspondence during this period with Thomas Kittera, however, mentions his romance with Mary K. Snyder. In Buchanan's letter to Mrs. Francis Preston Blair, he declines an invitation and expresses an expectation of marriage.[66] The only President to remain a bachelor, Buchanan turned to Harriet Lane, an orphaned niece, whom he had earlier adopted, to act as his official hostess.

    Historians have had fun with that speculation about Buchanan for years without providing the proof necessary to confirm it. Suffice it to say he was one of the nations worse Presidents at the worse possible time for a weak President.

    Lincoln has also been charged with having gay or bisexual tendencies. His relationship with his bodyguard Captain David Derickson has been a constant source of speculation.

    Obama isn't the 1st mix race President if we listen to some historians also . That distinction goes to Warren G Harding.. Same deal. Historians have not pegged down the evidence that pins down this rumor as fact.

    Nope, it makes it universal in the US.
