Almost? I think the only one who didn't want the job was Washington himself.

Is that too much to ask?

Evidently, these days, it is an unreasonable expectation.
Twenty years ago I said if you want to fix the economy, draft Lee Iaccoca. Today we need someone who will remove the restrictions in the right places, increase restrictions in the right places, enforce freedom and help people in need, fight against terrorism while recreating isolationism, patrol our borders while being a good neighbor, decrease spending and taxation, but provide for health, education and welfare, and all while inspiring everybody to be more productive for less return.

Any ideas?
