Do we need a President like Teddy Roosevelt or...
a President like maybe Bill Clinton? Do we need a trust-buster or someone that will go along with the requests of the big banks and the repeal of the Glass Steagel Act?

Do we need someone to look for bi-partisanship or do we need someone that will look for principles and the general welfare of the people?

Do we need someone that understands the market system and its flaws, with regard to deregulation and natural greed? Do we need someone who understands that there is no compromise with these types of malefactors?

1. I liked Teddy
Except he murdered a lot of innocent animals for trophies. Other than that, he was very beneficial for our country, busting up the monolpolies. We need to unmerge all the mergers of the past couple of decades.

Finally TR listened to John Muir about the need for national parks at least.

8. What a coincidence
There is a unique economic & political situation that requires someone *exactly* like the person who won the nomination, in every way. By God, its a miracle!
