Its not that we need someone to scrounge, although I get your point.
We need someone that has the balls to say “No.”
We need someone who can explain the reason for the “No” to the people in way that is confident, and that makes sense.
The President does nothing but propose. All of the folks that are screaming that the President alone can save us are wrong. He can lead, but Congress has to follow.
Someone who has been in financial trouble and has had to make difficult business decisions, understands this.
THAT is the person I want as President.
I agree. I wasn’t endorsing Cain for president (though he is still on my list of possibilities). I was simply answering the question. What we need is someone with the balls to say, “Ok congress, you have allocated $3 trillion for FY 2013. As chief executive, I am ordering the government only spend $2 trillion.”
