If you could be president, would you HONESTLY accept that duty? Really honestly, would you decide to be the president, knowing that the nation is on your hands, and knowing that no matter what you do, lots of people are gonna hate you?

Couldn't care less how people would feel about me. . .but I would not want to be bothered with the politics. It's a tough job & you need to be a very dedicated soul to do it.

I wouldn't accept the duty it takes a certain type of person to do that duty properly and there really are few and far between that's why not very many past presidents are remembered only the ones that had that certain magic about them examples: Washington, Lincoln even Kennedy even the republicans liked him.

If there are is any one smart enough to be President, it is their duty to offer to run. But some who test low I.Q's, and those who cannot or would not complete tours of Duty in U.S.A Military. Should not be allowed to run. There seems to be no standard for this job. Just the ability to lie and spend money.

... yes... and it wouldn't be just you... you have a cabinet that you select to help you make the decisions... and you have congressmen that you can discuss this with as well... not to mention the general public..
Only a fool would take on that responsibility alone... more heads used to make a decision, the better the decision is..
The better decisions you make... the more popular you are.. and several presidents have been fairly popular, like Reagan and Clinton (pre-scandal)...

If I were elected president, I would obey the constitutional laws that say I do NOT have the country entirely in my hands. Hello??? All 3 branches are suppose to have equal power.

I wouldn't want to be president. I do not particularly like our president, but I am fully confident that I could do no better.
