    And lawyers should not be allowed to be politicians (or at least there should be an equal amount of another profession represented).
    not sure how term limits would help.

    anyone with an annual income over $150,000 and combined assets, including real estate, in excess of $2 million should be banned from running for public office.

    finally, anyone who does not agree with me shall get the guillotine

    except that practicing lawyers and people with law degrees are quite different.

    even within the world of practicing lawyers, the diversity of concentrations/backgrounds is endless.

    Watch for Barofsky to be fired like Walpin. Where is the transparency Barry promised? Geithner did not allow Treasury to track money to the banks in the bailout so nobody knows. More fraud from Barry and co.

    You're the only one who calls the President "Barry." It makes you sound retarded.

    From my experience, New Yorkers don't feel shame, and get irate at those who suggest they should, regardless of the circumstances.
