http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/28/federa ... x.html(CNN) -- He has recently made stops in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, giving speeches and holding town hall meetings. But he's not seeking the presidency. David M. Walker, the nation's top accountant, is instead touring the country to warn Americans about the consequences of a federal debt he says is on an unsustainable course. Walker, who heads the General Accountability Office (GAO), has visited college campuses, spoken to lawmakers in Washington and toured 19 states in the last year and a half. He plans to continue through next year and is focusing on states that could affect the 2008 presidential race, in hopes that candidates will heed his message.
