I like Michelle Bachmann a lot, but she does have a woefully thin resume. Can’t do the research now, but to the best of my knowledge no sitting member of the U.S. House has won the presidency. There’s a good reason. Experience. Most House members don’t have enough either at all or of the necessary kind.
If Bachmamn is running to raise her national profile, that’s fine. Many people have done so in our history. If, on the other hand, she’s running because she seriously believes herself to be the best possible candidate at this time, then Bachmann is incredibly arrogant. That would be a character flaw we can’t afford.
James Garfield was elected from the House in 1880. It ended up being a bad career move as he was assassinated shortly after being elected.
The Office of President of the United States is becoming quite a sad state of affairs. Obama has proven that he cannot do it. It takes someone in charge. Not 50 Csars to brief him. He was very stupid for taking this line and as well, very well unqualified. A man of conviction and discipline is the key. He has neither.
