Oxendine: Casey Cagle doesn’t like to ‘think hard’
April 10, 2009 at 3:17 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsSave your energy, gents — the 2010 governor’s race is going to be a long and tiresome slog.
From the AJC’s Gold Dome Live:
In a post-General Assembly session interview with the AJC this week, Oxendine, who holds a law degree, took some pointed shots at the way Cagle, who doesn’t have a college degree, thinks.
“The Legislature and the presiding officers, and more so with Cagle, would rather have the status quo than have somebody else get their way,” Oxendine said. “If change means somebody else’s idea, he (Cagle) would rather have the status quo.
“The status quo is the easy way to govern. It doesn’t take a lot of thinking, it’s not brain surgery. To do things differently requires intellectual thought and sometimes he may prefer the easy way out. I think sometimes he just prefers the easy way out, of saying, ‘I’ll stick with the status quo, that way I don’t have to think hard.”
