Extraordinary not ordinary

I want my president and vice-president to be extraordinary people, not ordinary people. I want them to be critical thinkers, highly intelligent, serious, and thoughtful. They should know what the hell their doing and realize that every decision they make affects billions of people around the world. We are not only electing the President of the United States, but also a very powerful world leader.

I think you know where I'm going with this. McCain-Palin supporters harp on the fact that Palin is an outsider and a maverick that so closely relates to the middle class. She's folksy and easy to understand, they say. You know what, don't talk to down to me. I'm not an idiot, and there are millions of people out there who are not idiots.

Give me substance. Give me real answers. Give me intelligent and well-thought answers. I don't want more attacks or whining about the "liberal media". Get over it! Don't blame the media for pointing out that you can't answer a damn question.
