OK...got you and I understand.

Your point is well taken and I used to be that way...in other words, I wanted an experienced person who had hands on experience with foreign policy.

I was much younger and of course over the years I have changed.

I now believe that even more than this, I want managerial skills. Washington DC, good or bad, is loaded with experienced professionals and selection is important.

In addition, the President has to listen and have the skills to make a decision, and we are talking about foreign affairs, that will serve the country best, not popular, not political but the best interest of the country.

Fact is, when our current President was elected, while I surely did not support his election, I took a positive leaning watch and see attitude. I had read about his Chicago gang of advisors and that bothered me, but in any case watching how he acted with the ACA simply just put me off to never come back. He appears to listen to his PERSONAL advisors rather than his "experts". He is stubborn and very much interested in the political end game and how it will affect HIM.

Want to stop bashing, but my perfect President is a master manager. One who once he takes the oath lives the oath. One who is aware of politics (gotta) but it is not on his list of goods or bads on any issue. One who not only listens to opposing opinions but solicits them. One who understands that there are many opinions on all issues and probably not just one that will work. A good manager.

That certainly favors an ex governor who has been successful and I really felt strongly about Mitt Romney...think the country really really missed the boat on that one.

UNDERSTANDING foreign policy for sure, and having folks around him who will help formulating a policy that will help us economically, but insure we are represented in the world, and are safe.

I know much of what I am saying is general but after all that is all we got.

If you are looking for an endorsement of Hillary Clinton, sorry. First she was an average senator at best and on her watch as Secy of State so many bad things happened, it is hard to really relish the bad.

But most importantly, whatever she did do or didnt do, she is a terrible person. She is dishonest, conniving and so many more things that I can say DO NOT apply to our current President. I say those things, not lightly, but so much has been confirmed over the years and as I have said on here before, I have no idea how the democratic party call allow her to carry the banner.
