The Founding Fathers- the most brilliant men of their time. In America's past it was these men, these hyper-intellectuals that read Greek and Latin for fun, who became president of the United States. So I ask myself, when did it all change?
When did Americans begin wanting an average run of the mill man to be president? Someone that they felt they could sit and drink a beer with? Frankly I don't understand it. I want the most intelligent person in America to be my president (whether male, female, black, white, or purple). I want someone who can speak coherently...using real words, someone who knows politics and economics...not someone who barely passed college leading our country.
So when, when exactly did Americans begin putting things like a president's religion before his/her intellect and experience? Separation of church and state...what's that?
I think Americans need to return to their "roots." I think we need to find the Thomas Jefferson's and George Washington's of our own time, and elect him/ her as our next president. I want a person whose intelligence is overwhelming and intimidating, someone who will be equipped to lead America, not someone who will blindly attempt to lead America, making any decisions that he/she feels like making. We are in need of a leader, an intelligent, coherent, leader.
America must truly wake up, and realize what is important in a leader. is a leader's religion important? Or is experience, intelligence, past success important? Or is it being able to sit and drink a beer with the guy?

Don't forget that if you come from the "right" family, you're a shoo-in. If your father was president, it's easy for you to be one too. I'm not pointing any fingers...
