I'm just wondering when the 3-ring circus is going to stop and the GOP has some competent candidates. With the economy so fragile, gas prices rising, and the need for a sane overhaul of the tax code, I want Obama to be able to build a winning strategy. I honestly believe his re-election is tied to the economy and job creation. The gas price situation is something that hits hard on people- an everyday slap in the face that is a game changer with personal budgeting.
Neither Trump or Oprah have the skills to be president. But, Oprah is someone I respect deeply and feel she is very smart. Trump just loves to see Trump on the tube.
I think the GOP is worried about putting forth a candidate against Obama. Even Carl Rove has been saying "get serious" and leave the Tea Party zealots behind. I don't like Rove, but he is a savvy political strategist. Even Bachman is backing away from the birther garbage.
I really wish the serious issues would be discussed and ideas formulated that get things like the construction and housing industries back on their feet and jobs are created. We also can bring some of manufacturing back (some is lost forever).
Its fun to play with the craziness of some of these "candidates," but this is such a serious time for our economy and middle and working class people.
