To be the Chief Executive of the greatest country in the world requires a leader with a great deal of knowledge, experience and reasoning ability. It requires having the very best minds as advisors, minds that the President can count on to give reasoned arguments and detailed knowledge about the important issues of the day. I think it takes a special ability to understand the principle of cause and effect concerning how government action impacts the lives of real people. Above all, it takes a keen understanding of history as well as deep insight into the philosophical principles that informed men during our years of founding. The President of the United States must be wise beyond his years even if he is an older man.
