I noticed at the airport a book by the same guy that did the Swift Boat smear on John Kerry, so I've no doubt that as Obama gets stronger the attacks on him will get dirtier, and the right answer is to respond strongly and honestly.
  • "When something you own is necessary to the success of a venture, even if its contribution is small, you'll tend to ask for an amount close to the full value of the venture. And since everyone in your position also thinks he deserves a huge sum, the venture quickly becomes unviable."
