Picking a President

Unless you have just emerged from under a rock without any internet or cable access, you know that we have big choices to make in 2012 which will shape our landscape for the next 4 years. It is our privilege and responsibility to select a President for our nation and I hope you will all exercise your right to vote.

Before doing so, I believe we are all obligated to do our due diligence to become as educated about the choices available, starting with primary elections, as possible. In the forefront this year will obviously be how each candidate plans to stimulate job growth to get our economy back in gear. Each one will undoubtedly promise to rectify everything that is currently going wrong but some will offer more detailed plans than others.

Whatever your political beliefs may be, I urge all of you (myself included) to look at past voting records, public interviews, professional backgrounds, etc. of each candidate and decide if he/she will be capable of producing the results you wish to see. Personally, I wish I could find someone who has a ton of very creative business building experience along with a large dose of humility and compassion. Remember, beauty is only skin deep and we need to figure out who is best suited to get the United States back on track.
