Businessmen historically have been some of he worst Presidents. The worst being Harding, Hoover, and W. GHW Bush was a one term President and so was Carter.
The problem with being a business man is that you are used to total control over your business. When you become President you lose a lot of power.
As President you cannot make a decision, say on the economy, and just implement it. That is what kings do.
In this country we have a judicial branch and a legislative branch. They put the reigns on the Executive branch. Business men don't like having their little dictator title stripped from them. They tend to throw tantrums like "the Decider" did.
Go ahead Republican's, get Mittens into the White House, and take the House and the Senate. With what I see of your policy platforms, even though it is very cryptic, If it is all implemented it will doom the Republican party.
People will wake up when they can't "put food on their families" and the elderly and disabled see their cherished SS, SSI, and Medicare pretty much go away. there will be more than one pissed off tea bagger when they realize there new Hoveround electric wheel chair is going to cost them ten grand while the watch the US spend billions bombing Syria and Iran. No..really, grampy McInsane is back in the news. How in the hell can a tortured POW, in the Vietnam police action, be such a war hawk. I can't believe I used to admire him as a logical thinking Republican.
