One Day at a Time

Why is it a bad thing for a smart, Harvard educated person to be president?

There's a saying that 1 out of every 3 people is insane. Look to your left, then to your right. If both of them seem "normal," what does that say about you?

Now rephrase that idea. Look to the neighbors to your left, then to the neighbors to your right. Do you want either of them running the country? Do you think you should run the country? I really like my next door neighbors, but Dog knows I don't want them running the country, and I'm even more convinced that I shouldn't do it either. So why does everyone seem to want a "regular" instead of an "elite?"

Americans are sssoooo excited about the "normal." About Bush being a regular guy you could have a beer with. About the P-woman being a true "representative" of America.

You know what? I think I could have a beer with Obama, and actually enjoy the conversation. I don't want a leader who believes that when something happens, it's god's will. I want someone who thinks about the issues from multiple perspectives, and who has advisers other than god to make important decisions such as going to war or despoiling our natural resources.
