No, l am not advocating any such thing. Politicians like Religious figures should KNOW when to step down. Take Pope Benedict for example. On 11 February 2013, Benedict unexpectedly announced his resignation in a speech in Latin before the cardinals, citing a lack of strength of mind and body due to his advanced age. His resignation became effective on 28 February 2013. He is the first pope to resign since Gregory XII in 1415, and the first to do so on his own initiative since Celestine V in 1

Can't blame Ryan for that. Gary Grief was the director when that mess took place. Then when it all started coming out Grief stepped down leaving Ryan to deal with it. IMO he handled it pretty well for a year, he accepted what the Senate hearing saw as a solution, implemented those ideas, and promised to accept any changes they recommended. But the finger pointing isn't going away. His resignation allows the commission to claim a clean sweep of their sordid past, if you will. And we don'

Love your videos, I always learn something.

Two week's noticeReply
