Why would anyone ever want to be president of the US?
It seems to me, no matter which platform the people support, the president position is always in a no-win situation. From Reagon, Clinton, to the Bushes, they all have their haters and supporters. The best and brightest this nation has to offer never even get nominated and much like my high school class, the elections become a popularity contest. Look at both George W and Hillary C. George was elected because we all knew his father and we were tired of the Clintons (and look at us now)...now Hillary is the frontrunner (with very little experience or leadership skills) because we're tired of George and we knew her husband. I just shake my head!!
I'm not a leader but I hope this country finds one and stops playing this high school game...it's getting old. Sorry for rambling...any thought?
TO FAIRLY SMART:
Yes Hilary is smart...But so am I and so are the nerds on beauty and the geek...doesn't mean she can lead. Also George W. grew up in the WHite house...did it help him? Your argument that being close to a leader makes you one doesn't hold weight. As for health care and business...there are pluses and minuses...screws you...but helps people like you keep your job at businesses that struggle to stay open (most non-chain companies fail) Obviously your business is thriving but your boss is the creap not the gov.

Umm...how do you figure Hillary has no experience or leadership abilities? She isn't a dumb person by any stretch, & if anyone looked past the politics & & what she has done, the schooling, the time in the white house for 8 years. She is pretty smart, & was very close to the presidet for 8 years, you don't think she learned ANYTHING in that time? If anything, she has MORE experience than any of the other runners!
She will have the close council of a former successful president, don't you think that counts? I made less during the Clinton years, & yet, I had money in the bank, took trips, had health insurance & was very comfortable. Now, even though I make 15k more a year, I have no money, & I can't afford trips! Healthcare?? That is funny, the republicans said it is okay for smaller business to not offer any health coverage. This company is doing rather well too, the owners have 4 houses, one at the shore that they built just to rent out! It is not a struggling business by any means. I am not asking them to pay for it, but to organize a group rate would be MUCH cheaper than what I would have to pay as a single! We do need more choices, but what they have besides another Clinton is pitiful at best!

The election is a popularity and beauty contest. It is driven by money and people who have money. People run for the office because they want the publicity and the people voting for them. They all have huge egos.
Our only hope is to find someone that realizes that he/she is not that smart but can put people in position that is smart and leave them do their job. Look at Regan. He had little experience but a lot of charisma. He put people in positions and left them alone.

The presidential candidates are a pitifully, desperate bunch of the same old crap in a slightly different wrapper. None of them will make an ounce of difference where changes are necessary.

Maybe they just have an insatiable thirst for power.
