I remember when Nixon said that. I remember when he was told pretty much to ... GO HOME!! WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!!
I want to believe that our Founders were upbeat and positive in their thinking and saw a bright future for US. I think they believed that every little boy or girl should aspire to be the President. That's why the qualifications are so generic. I also think they believed that voters would have the good sense and inteliigence to know how to pick a good leader because of what's at stake. FREEDOM!
“All the world over, so easy to see. People everywhere just wanna be free.” (Yeah I'm a Young Rascals fan. LOL.) The Founders envisioned a free country. Who, in their right mind, would want to put somebody in the Oval Office that would SCREW IT UP??!!
