Pardon me if you have read this quote from Alan Greenspan before, (he proposed it as a constitutional amendment) but I think it is apropos to the dilemma we face in choosing our next president. Our current election process is such that no viable candidate feels free to say anything of consequence, but rather only babble meaningless drivel and platitudes. Otherwise whoever the candidate may be will be ripped to shreds by the opposing party for having the audacity (ha ha) to talk about something real, and something that may actually require a little sacrifice from the US electorate.

"Anyone willing to do what is required to become president of the United States is thereby barred from taking that office. I’m only half joking".

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
