We need business-experienced president

The message was loud and clear in Wisconsin on Tuesday. Excessive debt, excessive taxes in any class, massive health/pension benefits funded by tax dollars and socializing this great country will not be tolerated! This message follows the landslide 2010 congressional election results that stated Americans want less debt, fewer taxes and a business-friendly atmosphere so we can get back to hiring legal Americans to build American products.
Americans need to lock in to the November presidential election and send a strong message to our current tax/spend liberal president and his entourage that $16 trillion in debt, increasing taxes, and large government interference are unacceptable.
Americans need a business-experienced president and congressional representatives who understand you can't spend more than you take in - we borrow 40 cents on every dollar we spend. Let the capitalistic system work its magic as it had done up until four years ago. Bring us a strong, successful business-minded person who can run the biggest business entity in the world.
