How long will it take for America to recover from this disaster? If in fact we ever can - he was, after all, elected twice by our American voters.

I can't help thinking if Elizabeth Miller were here, she would definitely have something to say about it, and it would highly likely include the words "Augean" and "stables" and maybe Hercules (Roman) or Heracles (original Greek).

How long will it take for America to recover from this disaster? If in fact we ever can - he was, after all, elected twice by our American voters. Thanks, nyp [1]:
