McCotter for president?
Washington Times - Water Cooler ^ | 5/9/11 | Kerry Picket

I think it’s a disadvantage to be a D.C. politician this time around, but let’s have a big field.

I liked him until he did a total flip flop on the bail outs because they’d help his state and the UAW and the automakers. You have to stand by your principals all the time, not just when it affects the other 49 states.

A Reagan conservative would not have been in favor of the Auto bailout. If someone from Michigan must support Obama Motors, then being from Michigan disqualifies them.

I love to listen to Thaddeus. He has a great, sarcastic sense of humor. He is often on Red Eye and Fox Business Channel shows. He would slice and dice Barry in a debate, but, alas, he resembles Ichabod Crane.
