Why do people want to become the President of the United States?

White men, like George Bush get power and their special interests groups pay them to swing some fortune there way. Look at people who invest in American defence.. they got paid BIG TIME for 9/11 and all the actions George Bush has imposed thereafter.

I CAN'T figure out why Black people would want to be president though. If a black man was president, and gas raised 1 cent, someone would kill him that same night.

It's got to be ego or money. I definitely think there should be term limits for all politicians. This is what our founders had in mind. Professional politicians, i.e. Kennedy, Hastings, Sharp, Kerry Gore, and so many more must not have the brains or ambition to do anything else but continue to manipulate the public, give them selves hugh raises every year, raise our taxes for their pork barrel projects and only work about a third of the year. That is if they even show up. The general public is so gullible. Somehow the general public must show we will no longer continue to tolerate this but both parties have closed ranks and drastically reduced our choices. They choose who runs and we are supposed to take it from there.

Control. If you can control people, you can make money. Let's say you had a 1000 acres, you paid $100, 10 years ago, which is mostly swamp land in Florida. You nudge the govenor (in this case, happens to be your brother) to pass a law which allows business to start building on these marshes...before you know it, the land is going for Millions. That's just one example, and it happens everyday :)

It's to continue the traditions of the past two centuries in American history. Kinda like the same reason a person decides to become part of the priesthood.

Its the leader of 300 million ppl its money , power , history and the rest

They have a long mental health history of antisocial megalomania.
