It is too important

The position of President of the United States of America is too important to entrust to any individual without a solid resume that includes being responsible for supervising a large organization.  Political adroitness, eloquent speech, charisma, and personal connections are not qualifications for the the position.  Nor is a history overwhelmingly filled by holding political office or community organizing positions.  It is too important.

The nation is observing the results of hiring just such an individual.  Unable to manage even his own staff, let alone arguably the world's largest bureaucracy, our current President is quite simply deficient in his abilities.  Candidly, we shouldn't be surprised.  The incumbent's resume includes no substantive work experience.  He'd never previously been responsible for the productivity of an organization.  Nor has he experience in managing any sizable number of people, let alone a complex staff.  There is no indication of any experience in running and controlling a staff meeting.  Frankly, there is no indication of any experience sufficient for assuming the responsibility of the most important job in the world.

Totally separate from one's views on the individual's beliefs and politics, we are now seeing first hand the inadequacy of the individual.  He simply hasn't the necessary experience to run a large organization.  And, sadly, we are paying the price, both in actual financial terms and in broader terms about a rampantly dysfunctional  executive branch.  The voting public failed in it's responsibility to elect a chief executive who can run the executive branch of government, while concurrently providing leadership for the country as a whole.

The job is just too important to entrust to the unqualified.
