This is what a significant portion of our society wants running the worlds most powerful Super-Power.
People are stupid. They always believe that every problem has a simple solution that their experiences with life prepare them for anything. They revel in their ignorance. Wear it as a badge of honor. This disgusts me on such a personal level.
You wonder what is wrong with America, it isn't the elites, it is those ostensible "real" Americans that can not pull their heads our of their asses.
And in answer to the question: Thomas Jefferson, followed closely by Benjamin Franklin. The raw intellectual rigor they brought to bare is and was formidable. The bicameral system, the idea of checks and balances, on the Jefferson front the wrestling with spiritual (going so far as to edit the bible to remove the "miraculous" events leaving only the philosophy). These were giants. I have respect for all the founding fathers, but these are the luminaries in my eyes.
I also even know some of the causes for WWI, II, the Korean War, and that Saddam Hussein was not responsible for 9/11.
Oh well. Guvb'ment is easy. Just good ole common sense!
My stomach hurts.
