In 2008, the American people approached this young chap and said, “We find your set speeches very charming, and even though you have next to zero experience with national challenges and have accomplished nothing besides authoring a couple of books talking about what an impressive person you are, it would make us feel ever so good about ourselves if you consented to be President.” What was he supposed to say? What would you have said? “No?"COTTonLINE thinks Potemra is correct in this view, the fault is truly ours. We persist in electing presidents with training wheels.
There are other wise thoughts in this column, too. I particularly liked his use of the analogy about the dog which catches the car it's chasing and has no idea what to do with it.
