I absolutely agree. But presidential elections in this country aren't about picking the best man (or woman) for the job. Unfortunately, one has to be electable by the masses, and lately the masses just want a rock star with charisma.
I wish Newt could be president. He would shake things up and make some significant changes. But his image and baggage are going to keep him from the Oval Office. It's just the way it is.
I will be happy if I am wrong.
I could have agreed with you before our country became such a disaster....but the public is far more informed now of the Obama failures and that his direction is taking us down. Further they don't care about the baggage because Newt's pretty much been given a clean slate...either by the courts who found him not guilty...and also by his family who now are with him in this run...and most importantly Newt has God's forgiveness and been given that cclean slate now to do it all right.
I'm for it all 100% because we really have nothing to loose if Newt's wrong....and everything to gain if he's right! and that's just how people are now looking at Newt...he has the goods to pull this off, he has the will and the direction he needs, and those who will come along side when he gets there...
So "fret not"...if we ever had a chance to turn this ship rapidly around by an expereinced captain...Newt's the one to do it.
