Where do they come up with these ideas? (thinkprogress.org)

Responses:

I doubt he means it - he's just implying that he has the right skill-set to become President, and Obama doesn't. - Roger More, future Prime Minister of Canada May 30, 12:26 1
- yup. - znufrii May 30, 12:28
Their bolding seems to be trying pretty hard to hide that he's not actually proposing it, just quoting someone he talked to. -- nm - Ender May 30, 12:25 8
- Do you think politicians quote every person they talk to in a stump speech? - Will Hunting May 30, 12:28 4
  - I think they do fairly often when it's a local person and it speaks to that candidate's strong points. It is absolutely silly to read this as him actually proposing a constitutional amendment. -- nm - Ender May 30, 12:32 3
    - Touting --- aka, it's a good enough idea for me to use it in a stump speech. - Will Hunting May 30, 12:41
    - Silly manufactured shock and outrage? - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:33 1
      - I know, shocking. -- nm - Ender May 30, 12:34
- They're not saying he proposed it. They're saying was touting the idea. The bolding doesn't hide anything. -- nm - mara May 30, 12:26 2
  - Their bolding of "You know I�d like to change the Constitution" and... - Ender May 30, 12:30 1
    - I agree with Ender on that, at least - znufrii May 30, 12:35
I'd totally ask him for details, specific to Reagan (without mentioning the name) to see if Gip would make it. -- nm - Mel Profit May 30, 12:20 9
- don't be silly - znufrii May 30, 12:33
- I guess he would consider his time as an actor to be business -- nm - amoxy May 30, 12:21 7
  - let's find out. let's ask him to define what he means. - Mel Profit May 30, 12:23 6
    - honestly, in some respects i would think that business experience would actually be a hinderance to getting things done as president - tRuMaN ( monkey CPA ) May 30, 12:25 1
      - I second this post ten trillion times. - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:30
    - Let us know what you find out. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:24 3
      - even you have to admit it's stupid. it's meaningless pablum. -- nm - Mel Profit May 30, 12:31 2
        
        Let's *make it* mean something! Hold his feet to the fire! - Dr.Vermin May 30, 12:32 1
        
        If we discuss this seriously will you continue or will you snark it up and withdraw? - Mel Profit May 30, 12:37
