Ike's experience in the war also caused him to start the interstate highways. He knew how hard it was to move military equipment and troops without proper roadways. We would have a hard time moving from one part of the country to the other without that highway system....A man for the times is correct...

A man with business experience like Cain would also be a man for the times....he knows what makes an economy work and no democrat does. Romney is a has been that didn't make it last time, so 20th century. I dont think he knows what makes an economy work either, plus being liberal to the bone, hes definatly a NO Way...

Perrys mouth, insults and calling those that disagree with him (mostly conservatives) "heartless" took him out early...kissing up to La Rasa also was a bad national move. Might have been good for Texas with its large hispanic population, but not in the rest of the country...He needs to stay where he can do his best, as governor or Texas...

Yes, the point being that there are times where we don't need to hire a politician, we need to hire a Specialist for the times.

The more I think about it the more I find that the expressed longing for a President with "legislative" or "government" or "elected office" experience is frankly ridiculous in the year of our Lord 2012!

Good grief, Obama had (at least on paper) experience as a pol and elected official. So what? He's been the most dangerous bumbler in the White House ever. I'm starting to think he really may get us all killed.

I would ask: how exactly is this vaunted experience as an elected official supposed to help the next POTUS figure out how to FIX THE COMPLETELY SCREWED UP ECONOMY?

Which is more important: knowing something of how to get a bill passed or HAVING THE RIGHT IDEAS TO PUT IN THE BILL?

Can't the former advice be sought out, while isn't the latter a product of WHO the POTUS is and what his worldview and life experiences are?
