Ultimately, that's what all the "no labels," "Unity08," "We need a billionaire," crap is about, imagining that there's some sort of political Jesus out there who can implement my favored policies without worrying about the existing political institutions or the pesky voters.
I'm not thrilled with the structure of our existing political institutions, though I am a fan of that basic democracy thing, but you can't just wish them away. Unlike Tom Friedman's cab drivers, your billionaire is unlikely to agree with you about everything.
More than that, we're all a bit tribal, and the most likely concerns of your billionaire would be the concerns of that very small club of other billionaires.
So, yeah, awesome.
