like has been said many times in the past " it's the economy dumbass " . we have had 40 years of total bs from washington. halfass lawyers who have never ran anything in their life trying to run the largest economy in the world. enough. i want a business man running things for a while. i would rather see the whole bunch replaced with business minds .

A recent Prime Minister of ours, John Key, (elected three terms in a row,) was just that: a businessman.
He came from a grass-roots background; the son of a solo mum/state-house tenant in a poverty stricken area he worked his way to the top of his profession in the finance industry.
He steered New Zealand through the Global Economic Crisis. When other countries economies were going belly-up John Key's management ensured NZ not only retained the status quo; it actually improved.
That's the type of man that's needed to run a country; a self-made businessman.

I agree with the businessman approach as long as they're not Bean Counters whose only concern is the bottom line.Ken Thomas

Ken I totally agree with you.
It has to be someone who can see things not as they are; but as how the could be.
Someone far wiser than I once said: 'Imagination is of greater value than knowledge.'
That is: the ability to see things as they could be.
I'd reckon that hot-rodders fit that criterion to a T!
