I caution you not to hire someone just because you like him or his religion or whatever, but to hire him to get the results for the country - and not to engage in wishful thinking. We cannot afford to sell ourselves short on this.

In the second box, we pull out those things that really matter. Let's "settle" for someone who can just let us know what is going on and the facts that will help us decide how to vote and/or what to push our representatives for - and then manage it to fruition. (Like Romney had to do in Massachusetts, where he went to the citizens to present the case, to influence the 85% Democratic legislature.)
What do you agree with? Is there anything you should let slide? Will you hire a person to be President who doesn't meet all the requirements?

For every 1000 men with good ideas, just give me one who can implement!
