The mayor of a small town has more executive experience than your avg House member. Running the Federal government requires more than pretty speeches and talking points as Rep Hunter discovered in 2008

0 has no experience other then being groomed to destroy the U.S. and do as much damage as he can. He hasn’t done anything
at all; everything he has done was handed to him or fabricated
to make him look good.

Bachmann needs to step behind someone and push them forward and then attack Obama’s record and decisions like crazy.

After the 2008 election, the question of experience was taken off the table. The news media, and the voters in general, decided that people with no executive experience, people who have never had a real job, are fully qualified to be president of the United States.

Experience? No one cares about that.

Governors make the best presidents...with plenty of executive experience.

Just a cursory reading of the Constitution of the United States of America will reveal that Federal responsibilities are very limited.

It takes a lot of education, cajoling and sophistry to read multi-generational welfare, land grabs, progressive taxation and massive intrusion into the lives of Americans into the responsibilities delineated in the document.

Governing in light of the Framers intent shouldn't be that difficult.

On the other hand, it would be more difficult to be a State Legislature, given their responsibilities which are not found in the Constitution.

It's upside down, and in general, governments don't willingly give back power to the people.

Why is it always Congress that is discussed?

Personally, I think that house painters would make the best leaders.

At least they don't have a track record of putting us in the sh!tty situation we are in now via their politics.

If a person is seriously accomplished in their field, and honestly articulate, actually understands what they are talking about, and not just pulling a fast one, then they can be President. I don’t think Eisenhower was a governor or a senator, but a General. I think it depends on the individual and what they are truly bringing to the table. If they are convincing enough to get elected with the right principals, then they are capable of learning the Presidency.

Obama sucks for several reasons, but the primary one, believe it or not, isn’t his lack of experience, that was just a good reason not to have elected him. The primary reason he sucks is because his IDEAS suck. He is a quasi-socialist liberal. I’d take a conservative 7-11 owner over Obama.

In the best of all possible worlds, this is true. When comparing a candidate to an evil, anti-American druggie who hates Jews, productive people, freedom, and all whites (including half of himself), executive experience becomes less important. Bachmann is currently my third choice, behind Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint, but she would be both a good candidate and a good president, which is a huge step up from Romney and from the usurper occupying our White House.

Obama is a social experiment run amok. He’s the affirmative action President, and we all know what that means. Of all the candidates in the last presidential election, only Sarah Palin had excutive experience and a record of accomplishment.

Seriously, where do you people get this crap from?

Duncan Hunter could have been viable. It had NOTHING to do with his lack of executive experience and EVERYTHING to do with the clear fact that most Congressmen in the House usually don’t have the name stature or recognition required to mount a National Campaign. Those that do get National Recognition is when negative things come out about them (Weiner, Foley, Jefferson). Hunter had the challenge of trying to introduce himself to members outside his district in CA and only a short time to do so, getting no help from the media.

Michele Bachmann, however, has acquired fame and recognition that reasonates far beyond MN(6) due to her actions and involvement in the Tea Party movement. Her task is NOT as difficult as was Hunter’s or even Tom Tancredo’s.
To say otherwise is both disingenuous and dishonest.

Also, Elmer Fudd could run the Federal Government just fine. It isn’t rocket science. Just because Obama’s managed to muck it up doesn’t change that fact. As President, people look to you to make decisions that protect the Country and its National interests, promote and sign legislation that makes our country more prosperous, and oppose and veto legislation that makes it less so, while appointing judicial stewards who will interpret the Constitution in its original intent. There’s nothing difficult about that.

Outstanding! My thoughts exactly. This country is WAY too fragile for more presidential on the job training.
