| George Will: 'The Education of This President Is a Protracted and Often Amusing Process' |
| 2013-12-10 |
| [Fox News Sunday] GEORGE WILL: The education of this president is a protracted and often amusing process - as it was this week - as he continues to alight upon the obvious with a sense of profound and original discovery. He's alighting on what is obvious to governors. This is really why we should have governors more often than senators as president. The president is saying the trouble with big government is it's so darned big. And like a lot of other big organisms - dinosaurs spring to mind - it has a central nervous system, it's sclerotic, it's governed by inertia, and it's hard to move. This from a man who's devoted his life to increasing the power of government as an instrument of the redistribution of income because government is wiser than markets at that. It's, as I say, highly amusing. Not at all amusing to the people responsible for picking up the tab. According to ValJar, Champ "would be ready to rule by on one!" |

| #4 #2, simpler to bar anyone who had been a Senator. It would also stop a lot of wasted preening and byzantine behaviors in the Senate as well. |

| #3 Bringing very little to the table in 2008, it is not particularly amusing to watch his ineptitude in office. It is not amusing to watch him breaking glass in the store on a regular basis and leaving it to someone else to pick up the pieces. There are times he appears to be downright untrainable or unteachable. There is a cartoon going around depicting the founding fathers discussing the inclusion of an "escape clause" in the Constitution in the event the people elect a moron. |

| #2 What you (Americans) needed is a constitutional amendment making, at least one full term, state governors the only ones eligible to run for POTUS. It's too late now, of course (am I kidding or not?) |

| #1 "Highly amusing"? Not to us real grass roots conservatives. Mayb amusing to patrician Manhattan-ite snots who play the part of the token conservative in the cocktail party circuit out there on the east coast. I have nothing but scorn for Will and his tweed jacket ilk, and the RINO crowd they support (Boehner, McCain, McConnel. etc). The world will be a better place when they all finally die and end their opposition of real conservatives. |
