Hi
Curious Canadian here. I've been wondering, as your election cycle heats up...who makes a \"better" president? Is it one with executive experience (eg past governors of states...Jimmy Carter, GWBush) or senatorial or house of reps experience (Obama, Ford, Bachmann...Ra forbid!)?
Any ideas as to why one's governmental experience affects their presidential performance?

That was what I saw in JFK, Clinton, Carter and Obama. Carter turned out to be weaker than I expected. Obama has been too willing to compromise with GOP demands. However, I think that may have reached a turning point. I hope so.

It's a shame Americans aren't willing to give superhero Obama even more tax money so he can continue to spend our way to prosperity. I mean were only FOURTEEN TRILLION in the hole at this point. sheeesh......
