I think you are just upset because it hurts your Texan Pride that the 
best representative of the Lone Star State is an internationally 
recognized tool that was effectively appointed to office. How much 
better would the international perception of a Texan be without that 
appointment?

It most certainly does :-)

An administration pushing electronic voting run on platforms widely 
recognized as insecure that were developed by a company openly 
interested in a specific election outcome. This combination provides 
little to no motivation to develop secure voting systems and I suspect 
it will soon become a public issue having to be handled like the rest of 
the large corporations that feel they are beyond the public good. This 
is why Full-Disclosure is good and the proper forum.

I don't hate him at all, I would prefer him as the commissioner of 
baseball instead of the leader of the US but that is a different story.
