what is special about being a president?

It is the culmination of all that I have strived for. Now, I can tell people that WE are the change that we have been waiting for. I shall provide tokens of benevolence for my subjects...er...citizens, in exchange for their vote, which they shall gladly provide, because I will run their auto and insurance companies and their banks.

Ummm, being the most powerful guy in the world, c'mon, it's what narcissist's wet dreams are made of, hell I'd like to be president, I'd put the federal reserve into bankruptcy, expose the CIA's 9/11 plot, and set all non violent criminal's free. Oh the CHAOS!!! I'd make the world exciting again.

president of what?

I guess being the president of anything means POWER.

Play with cigars in the oval office.

you're the head of the executive branch of the government. you control the military, you are the single most prominent political figure in the country (and probably the world)

Waging wars, raising taxes, etc. Hey, being a president isn't always happy and nice.

You get to go on speaking tours that pay $250K per appearance.

You get to fly idiots around on Air Force One and bribe them with a diet Coke.

You get to tell lies and stumble your speech.
