Here's part of our problem in a nutshell: people want our presidential 
election to be entertainment. So we get entertainers; Obama's handsome 
young Hope & Change show, Dubya's "Not too smart to scare ya" faux 
cowboy shtick, Clinton's insanely powerful charisma...

And then we wonder why this country sucks shitcock now.

We should go back to the old days where the incumbent didn't even 
campaign because it was considered beneath the office. You just voted on 
his record.
