[quote=Anonymous]I'm not talking about quibbles you might have with a president's resume or intellect or whether you can name all of your heads of state.  I'm not talking about criticisms of Reagan or Obama or Bush.  This is another category..

I am talking about a complete lack of knowledge in areas that are basic to the presidency.   I thought that Sarah Palin was a fluke, but now we have Perry and Cain.  These candidates are unable to correctly describe their role as described in the Constitution (Palin), cannot recall their own budget cuts in a year when the budget is supposedly everything (Perry), and cannot discuss foreign affairs issues that are discussed on the nightly news without stumbling around like an idiot (Cain).

BTW obviously there are many candidates that are actually competent.  You can't make this claim about Gingrich, Paul, Santorum, Romney.  Bachmann I suppose is a tossup.  Personally I think her gaffes were superficial and historical in nature and therefore embarrassing but not critical.

WTH is going on with the political selection process, that candidates can get so far before anyone realizes that they don't have a working knowledge of the issues facing a President?[/quote]
