10. CNN should learn to step up its game.

Most of our media should.

Few of our Presidents have been stupid, even if their smarts in some cases consist mostly of knowing whose advice to follow. Making huge mistakes on the campaign trail would eliminate them before they won the Oval Office. Ask Governor Rick "What's the the other two things? Oops." Perry or Governor Mitt "43% of Americans are takers" Romney.

Media most definitely should spar with our Presidents. They owe us that in return for First Amendment protection. But, they are too damned lazy and greedy to fulfill the role the First Amendment envisioned for them.
