I identify with a lot that you have said.
Also, what I hear from MB when refers to her biography/record it is mostly “5 kids and 23 foster kids” [3 times during the debate alone], and Fed tax attorney. As a legislator she has not accomplished near what SP as an executive. This is not Presidential material IMO.
I totally agree with you. She is sorely lacking on the executive front and that really hurts her. People are critical of Herman Cain’s lack of political experience, but in my mind his executive experience outweighs a few terms in the House of Representatives. He rescued both Burger King (for Pillsbury) and Godfather’s. That takes talent.
One thing I can say about Bachmann is this: I am a tax attorney, so I am inclined to give Bachmann credit there that others likley don’t simply because I know how hard it is to earn an LL.M. (Master of laws above and beyond her Juris Doctor) in taxation. That alone is proof of her discipline and drive. I know that in order to even be accepted into an LL.M. program, she had to excel in law school. Unlike Obama, whose grades have never been revealed, she really is qualified to be a law professor.
