Gotta get rid of that BS pronto.


Can't agree more. I don't want some average human being for President.

I want someone who awes me, not someone that I listen to and go, 'Aww!'.

I came across a scathing indictment of this asinine belief in picking leaders that 'you'd want to have a beer with', which was a tactic of the Bush campaign team too. It poses the question, why do some pick leaders that are "just like them" to run the government?

We don't pick people "just like us" to do surgery, build bridges, fly airplanes, etc... nobody in their right mind would allow a "just like us" to compete in the Olympics...

It makes me profoundly uncomfortable to think that there are people that are so blithe about putting the worlds largest nuke arsenal in the hands of a 'just like us'.

It seems some Americans want superathletes, superstars, super teachers, super doctors.... and the bozo next door for President!
