Seriously. I just read an editorial about Fred Thompson in which the author goes on and on about how great it is that Fred Thompson is, in the former Senator's words, "just like you".
I don't want a president who is just like me. I'm smart, yes, but I'm not president smart. The economy, the war in Iraq, immigration, bipartisan cooperation, crime, poverty, despair ... who wants an ordinary guy making decisions for these situations?
I appreciate the value of street smarts, but when did every other type of smarts get left out? We don't need an ordinary president; we need an extraordinary one.
Honestly, who wants a president who is just like they are?
