I don't think you “got” what he was saying. Mr. Obama didn't need a ton of executive experience to transform (very effectively, I might add) this country from what it was for over 200 years to what we have now. Now that may look like ineptitude or failure to you, but believe me, it's what he intended and the left likes what they see. He didn't need experience as a governor to radically alter this country and Ted Cruz won't need it to turn the ship around. Ted Cruz is, in reality, all the things the fawning press only claimed Mr. Obama was back before the election: The smartest man at Harvard Law, Editor of not just one law review, but four of them, a great debater, a once-in-a-generation mind, a catalyst for change, a philosophical giant and a charismatic speech maker. Mr. Obama needs a teleprompter to do what Ted Cruz can do extemporaneously.

Agreed. The President can repeal previous executive orders and greatly reduce the number of leftists in control of agencies by eliminating their staffing and power, and in some cases their existence.

To do this, the President needs a small number of thick-skinned people with a spine. In this respect, the biggest attraction of Walker is not his position on the issues. Walker appears to have a spine...and maybe cajones. That is something most Senators and Congressmen lack.

Ted Cruz seems unlike others in Congress because he seems to have a spine. He is disliked by the spineless mostly for that reason.

Amen and mega BUMP ...
