What's this?

LOL, if you say so. I prefer to have someone with more experience than

either, but all things being equal running the government of a diverse city with 100,000 people better prepares you to be POTUS than running a business does any day of the week, if the latter is all you've ever done. You guys are very clearly business people and that's fine -- this thread just puts further emphasis on my point because neither of you seems to have even half a clue what goes on in government. You keep saying the President is a CEO -- sorry, but that's just stupid.
