" ON THE QT WITH OBAMA AND THE DUKE"

With apologies all around. First for the tone, although I'll say, "hey, I didn't start it--he did." (That used to work in school sometimes). As well as in the 'hood.

Second to Walt, a friend who sent me an e-mail with the two pictures in it. I didn't credit him nor thank him for his good rock solid conservative responses he shares.

Third to the guy who wrote "Willie, Mickey, and the Duke;" once again memory fails and lackadaisacality sets in so I didn't Google him (a fourth apology). I did write to him once and he sent me a nice note.

Besides apologies and the sentiment of the quotes under the pictures, well, I don't have much to add. I have no idea if John Wayne's quote is real. I doubt that Mr. Obama's is. But both have a veracity to them. And if they didn't say them, they could have. So there you have it.
