Do you think you'd be a good president???

Question

Do you think you'd be a good president? Why or why not? What would you do different from Bush? Do you like Bush? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Oh no way ... Not with all the trouble that our nation has faced during the Bush administration. Bush is doing a good job considering he has faced some of the most difficult times of our nation.

- worst attacks on our Country in History
- worst national disasters in our Country's history
- worst Tsunami in history.

Answer 2

Wow - these are some serious questions! Brace yourself for epic novels on this one! :)

Do I think I would be a good President? I think I would be a whole lot better than our current President that is for sure! However, I would not sign up to lead our country today...we're in the middle of a global mess, and I am not too proud to admit that my instinctive answers fall short from the reality of where we are...in war. Not only in Iraq, but in some ways, the entire world. I'm not sure we have ever been as hated and spited as we are right now and while I can tap dance with the best of them, I think it is going to take a miracle to repair global unity. I'm not that intelligent and I admit it!

What would I do differently from Bush? Well, I would start by being honest not only with the American people, but world leaders too. I would stop trying to control and manipulate my countrymen and women with fear of terrorism every time there was a drop in my approval rating!

Do I like Bush? No.

Why?

Biggest reasons I do not care for our President: My opinion: (I vote and I am a veteran so I am entitled to one!)

1. He went to war in Iraq rather than trust the good faith of Hussein (who turned out was not lying) or the diligence of U.N. arms inspectors; he has made clear that a lasting peace can come to the Middle East only through democratic reform. The very touchstone of his thinking is the moral and political distinction between democracy and tyranny.
2. He sits on a crown of conservatism, waving the flag of liberty, and conning Americans into believing he is a model Christian who is upholding our moral and values and we buy it all because of the ace card he pulls out every twenty seconds...GOD. Who wants to go up against God right? (Not me, and I am not being sarcastic either!)
3. A President who dislikes abortion but killed more inmates on deathrow in Texas than any other U.S. Governor. What an oxymoron!
4. The fact he held reports (like other Presidents this much is true) fortelling 9/11 in detail yet he and his cabinet denied this fact for months following 9/11.

Here's some of the smaller issues I have with President Bush: He stole the first election, his unfair tax cuts, and his cowboy phoniness, and his favors for corporate cronies, and oh yes, the way he walks and talks. He struts and talks like some kind of a yokel! My list of "small things" goes on: He doesn't know that Africa is a continent, not a country, and.........

I better stop now. I could go on all night.

Answer 3

Yes, I feel I'd make a good president because of my political beliefs which are to long to explain at this point, the difference between me and bush is before i were to go on foregin land i would make sure our country is at our prime and even then i would with out a good reason and the support of our civilization. I don't hate bush, but i do disagree with a lot of his political veiws and decisions.

Answer 4

geez if taking long vacations during national disasters is acceptable...

I think with the right support network I could be the POTUS but if it requires Law School or being Governor of a State as pre-req's, I guess I don't have a good shot

I am an ethical person, stick to principle and won't side with corporations so then I gues POTUS is out of question!

different from Bush? leave God out of State or National affairs
admit going AWOL and then make ammends
fire Rove and all political hacks who use me as puppet
do I like Bush? GW Bush? I think he personally may be a nice guy, but the character displayed is repulsive, a blatant disregard for human life and leading the nation into a war of choice? Impeachable and illegal, a war crime, high treason and treachery

Answer 5

I would be a great president. Why? Because I wouldn't want the job but I care enough about my country that I would try to do what's best in every situation.

Different from Bush?
I would think before I act.

I do not like Bush.
Lots of reasons.

Answer 6

In a country as divided as this one is now, not even Abe Lincoln or FDR would be a good president! Our current
Re(tard)publican president is a "uniter, not a divider", and a "decider", yet he cannot formulate a coherent sentence to save his life!! Like everything he has ever touched, our country has turned to sh*t, because he has put all of our money in the pockets of the war machine, and of his big business friends!! And as far as he is concerned, the poor, the uneducated, the homeless, the people without health care, the indigent, our schools, and our hospitals can all go to hell!! By god, he's gonna save the world from Muslims and terrorists, and he'll even rape our Social Security system to do it!! Forget about the fact that we'll be digging out of his mess for the next thirty years!!! He has turned our country over to Big Business, making us the First Fascist Republic of the U.S., and he has seemingly had our blessing, because NO ONE will stand up to him!! His cowardly Re(tard)publicans won't, and his administration certainly won't--King George the First would have their heads!!

No, I wouldn't be a good president--I'm a decent human being who believes that we all deserve a break in this country, and I wouldn't turn my back on ANYONE!! And I hate George W. Bush with a passion, because he is the embodiment of all that is evil, to me! I would focus on our people, instead of being the world's police and savior!! The sign of a great country is one which takes care of its least able citizens, instead of simply casting them aside and ignoring their plight! Give our people jobs, make them feel as though they are contributing in their own way, give them self-esteem, create an environment of love, and NOT OF REVENGE!!!

I surprise myself at times with my harsh words toward our president! But the schlub has NO BUSINESS being president! He is simply there as a puppet governor of the State while Big Business manipulates him and makes us Fascist, right in front of our very eyes!!

Alas, it's just hopeless!!

Answer 7

I would probably be a good President but I wouldn't want to find out. I have no idea what I would do differently than Bush. Yes, I do like him. I think he's doing a pretty good job, faced with such hate from outside and within the country.

Answer 8

The presidency of the United States has become a big role, and not enough high caliber people want to take it on.

Corporate leaders earn far more, and usually find a way to conceal themselves and not have to face ridicule.

The U.S. Presidency itself has changed since the earlier times of Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy.

Today, they are kept out of the public reach, and when exposed, are surrounded by many secret agents.

Since 9/11, it is virtually impossible to get to meet the president, so he is now removed from the public eye and is more or less a hermit with little effect on the common person.

I can't bring the presidency back to more normal times again.

I don't believe I can do much to help ordinary people out enough as their president because they face obstacles in their daily lives such as health, job inadequacy and a host of personal problems.

Bush came along and threw everybody a bone. $300.00.

That was supposed to get people to like him.

Instead, he became more of a nuisance to America with his same old patriotic sounding speeches that are long and drawn out by now.

He comes off as being a total phony.

How can you like somebody who decided to invade another country and now it costs lives of kids who had to join the militay because jobs ain't what they should be.

I believe he's a bumbling fool with a shady past, and his wife is the same (she cost the life of a person in a car crash).

I don't have blood on my hands, so I might be a better president.

Answer 9

I do not think I would make a good president, a great dictator maybe, but not a president. I could not pander to the masses.
Yes, I like Bush insofar as he has stood up for this country against whining opposition and he was a better choice than that coward Kerry.

Answer 10

i think id be an even more hated president than bush, both sides would hate me, cause i would offend everyone getting cleaning house in this country. Of course, the president doesnt have a whole lot of power to clean up, that would be more of a benevolent dictator to do that.
