For president, choice is obvious

In this year’s presidential campaigns, we hear about the most peculiar of things — from vampires in business to foreigners being presidents. We ought not be distracted by dealing with such complicated matters but simply ask ourselves and each other these questions:

Who will we entrust to run our country for the next four years: the man who was a community organizer and has spent other people’s money ever since; or the man who ran a business and actually made money?

Neither are perfect candidates — such are hard to come by these days — but for any common sense taxpayer the answer seems obvious.
