American Thinker: Alfred E President

American Thinker: Alfred E President: "What could Alfred E. President do? He could ask for a repeal of ObamaCare so that a truly bipartisan healthcare reform could be adopted. He could propose entitlement reforms, rather than waiting to counter-punch any Republican proposals. He could insist that missile defense be the heart of our defense budget. He could ask for a comprehensive reduction of all federal requirements on states and all existing federal roadblocks to growth, so that drilling for oil and construction of nuclear power plants could start oh, say, yesterday. He could call ethanol a no longer so funny joke. He could issue a spirited re-affirmation of the faith of Christians and Jews and express the opinion that holding fast to that heritage is the only true hope of world peace.

Or Alfred E President can watch the world unravel on his watch. He can fiddle while Rome burns. He can say nothing risky, do nothing real, and wait to be re-elected. What are our prospects for having a real president when we need him? So far, so bad."
