It was good Amos but what the American people want is meat and taters on the table.

They want jobs and they want the economy on track and not a bunch of deficit spending. That is why they voted for him. He said he would take care of it. They don't want to hear about the last eight years over and over and over and over.

The Dalai Lama can take a back seat.

LH: People put forth the facts they believe to be true in an effort to refute the facts that they believe to be untrue.

Do you say that is wrong?

I like the Dalai Lama. He is not a pompous know it all and down to earth.

If I remember it right: Carl Sagan asked him what would he do if reincarnation was disproved by science. The Dalai Lama answered Then we would stop teaching it immediately. Then he thought and said How would you go about disproving reincarnation? as if he wanted to actually test it.
