President Romney will be a president that has had success in the financial community, working in the private sector for 25 years. He ran the Olympics and has had experience being a Governor. Obama's experience of being a community organizer, professor and one term senator before being president is pathetic compared to Romney's real world experience.
Running a business is not the equal to running a government, or vice-versa.
Being a constitutional scholar he signed an unconstitutional bill into law for example.
There is a constitutional argument to be made for an individual mandate. I hope that argument fails, but to suggest he is an idiot for trying is ignoring the very real possibility that its close to be constitutional under the interpreted view of the constitution we've followed for the last 200 years.
If congress (in general, not only along party lines) will curb, block, slow, prevent all president's Romney initiatives, he will be a non-effective president as well. If bills get congress approval but later the US senate shoots them down, any administration will be ineffective. If all democrats will automatically vote as one block against any white house initiative with some moderate republicans joining them - results will be identical. If Americans can't honestly discuss and agree on any topic...

Romney would be a huge improvement over what we've got now, as he is pro-business. The incumbent just wants to be a ruler, and that's not what a president should be.

Capability requires a baseline. When baseline is defined by someone like you, that is the problem, having a capable President ain't.

Only the voters can fix a broken congress. They aren't going to change the filibuster laws, and the house is likely to be a split vote everytime for a long time.
If people have had enough, they'll decide to try something different. Of course, by then it may be to late because we are placated with TV, cell phones, more food then we can eat, cars that drive fast, etc.
People are made at a little constriction on their budget, imagine what will happen when there is a lot. And don't doubt it, if the federal budget isn't fixed soon, there will be a big constrain on everyones household budgets.
What has Obama shown himself incapable of handling?
Congress
