2016 Dream Ticket

47. Neither one of whom will run.

It's like fantasy baseball. Can I trade your Jimmie Foxx for my Hank Greenberg?

Hillary Clinton, I admit has a lot of support here (as does Warren -- about that in a minute). But she has spent her life in the political meat grinder. When she first took on her post at Foggy Bottom -- the State Department for those who don't know -- she put a pretty hard limit of just one term and that if Obama was reelected he would have to come up with a replacement.

Hillary has given no indication that she is running for President beyond some teasers. And it is three fucking years before the nominees are selected.

Warren? I love her, too. But she was just elected to her first elected office ever. There is something beyond intelligence that makes a good president. I don't know what it is, although intelligence is certainly part of it. But it is not the whole deal. There's another attribute which sets aside a great president from the others.

We all know the great ones. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, JFK, LBJ, etc., one could add many others. But all these people were more than just smart people. They knew how to navigate politically.

If I am not happy with President Obama it is because he lacks that element. He has brought a naïveté to the White House which has allowed the GOP to basically stop a vast portion of government, to seize up and no longer function. And the President still talks about getting along and making compromises!!!

I will not support another candidate who I feel doesn't have that political experience which I consider to be lacking. Big Dawg had it. I fear that Barack Obama does not.

And NO! I am not an Obama hater.
