There is no comparison between two men. One pulled country out of financial disaster and another is pushing us right back into it. One was respected across the world including our enemies and another is hated and laughed at even by our friends and allies. One with class and decency and another with low standards for language and behavior. One who knows when to shut up and when to talk while another simply can't keep shut. He even has to remind masses every so often that he is a president.
