We need someone with superb judgement in their own right because, yes, a president can hire the best advisors on Earth, but I guarantee you this: Five advisors will give five different opinions. And it is the president - and the president alone - who always makes the final call.

We need a president with tremendous intelligence, smarts, cunning, strength and stamina.

We need a great president.

When it comes to the qualifications that we should demand of our president, to start with, we need someone who will take the job seriously.

Look for what's missing. Many advisors can tell a President how to improve what's proposed or what's gone amiss. Few are able to see what isn't there.

You need a president whom you can trust, someone who will not steal your money, a president who is sincere, brave and just.

Advisers who think that they are very clever while all around them are a bit thick, and that all the problems of the world would be solved if the thick listened to the clever, are liable to be disappointed.

Obama and his associates are fantastic campaigners but have little ability or skill to govern.

We have a country to turn around. This week you will nominate the most experienced executive to seek the presidency in 60 years in Mitt Romney. He has no illusions about what makes America great, and he doesn't confuse the presidency with celebrity, or loftiness with leadership.

Mitt Romney, happens to have the exact skill set that the next president's going to require.
