Remember the old erector sets? Well I wish they had such a set we could use to build our own President. We would be allowed to pick attributes from a select few past Presidents, and also from the 2008 Presidential contenders. In my case, my final product would be a Republican President. Since I am an old timer I would only draw on my personal views of Presidents in my life time.
I would start with Harry Truman. I was around for FDR, but was not old enough to remember him.
Past Presidents Attributes:
1) The no nonsense take responsibility frankness of Harry Truman.
2) The charm & speaking ability of JFK.
3) The foreign policy understanding of Nixon.
4) The honest convictions & views of the American dream held by Reagan.
(Yes, I left out the present President on purpose.)
Contenders Attributes:
1) The immigration views of Tancredo.
2) The constitutional views of Ron Paul.
3) The RKBA & earthy views of Huckabee.
Alternate choice…any Republican candidate that will beat Hillary.
Anyway, it's almost Xmas....allow me my dreams
