President in 2008?

Question

1. Who would you most like to become President?
2. Who would you least like to become President?

No bashing, just give the names, and perhaps civilly and politely explain why.

For myself:
1. Hmmmm... I guess maybe Condi. If Democrats didn't already have Congress, I might actually vote for Obama, though I'm a staunch conservative in things like values. The Republicans need to come up with some more compelling candidates.

2. Sorry, but this is definitely Hillary. No offense to anyone, I just do not agree with any of her values or ideas.

Answer 1

1. Obama, with Colin Powell as his V.P. From what I've seen, both of these men display wonderful values, and they're both smart, thoughtful, diplomatic, and honorable. Plus I believe they both know how to pronounce "nuclear."

2. McCain. I live in Arizona, and our community has been battling alarming (and illegal, in our opinion) legislation that McCain (along with others) buried, at the last minute, in a bill that was passed a few years ago. This legislation (HB 2141) takes away significant property rights from land and home owners without providing one speck of compensation to those owners, many of whom are poor and whose only asset is their home/land, which is now pretty much worthless. Coincidentally, the affected land is exactly where McCain has proposed a new superhighway. As home and land values continue to plummet (thanks to the restrictive legislation), the govt. will be able to seize the land outright (for "public use") and pay pennies for it. It bugs me to no end that he seems like such a nice person; I hope that is really the case, and that he just doesn't realize the effect of some of his actions, but I have a difficult time believing that.

Answer 2

Condi Rice will NOT run, nor would she be elected if she did. He has flat-out stated that she does not want the job of President, it doesn't interest her. People who don't want the job shouldn't be encouraged to take it, since they won't have any passion for it. She's also part of the Bush administration (one of the public faces) and that will hurt her in the future.

I'd personally like to see someone who is not your normal everyday politician. I also believe that Americans want someone who can easily relate to them, and that won't be found in anybody late-50's or over.

The big names this season will definitely be Obama, Clinton, maybe Bill Richardson (Gov.-NM), Guiliani, and McCain. I think it'll be a surprise for both parties: either Obama or Richardson vs. Guiliani.

Either way, I think most Americans will be happy with whoever wins, since they'll be so close to the center, no one can tell the difference.

Answer 3

Mitt Romney would be my determination. Obama is in simple terms too youthful and Clinton is a turn flopper. Giuliani has kinfolk problems. McCain scares all and sundry with how he helps the Iraq conflict, so no longer a lot of human beings could help him. Gore is a hypocrite, as he says he's an environmentalist, yet then he hops right into a private jet, which we could out an unbelieveable quantity of polution and his action picture substitute into in simple terms to make himself greater customary.

Answer 4

1. I wouldn't mind a everyday person becoming President of the United States. Someone who was not a silver spoon baby and knows what it is like to come from poverty.

2. I would not want to see a celebrity in office, any celebrity. I know everyone wants Oprah, but lets be realistic. She can't fix the world by giving everyone a free car. (No that was just a joke)

Answer 5

1. I would like to see Jeb Bush become the 44th President of the United States of America, that way Americans who complain about George W. Bush can deal with another four years of another President Bush and so that George W. Bush legacy can be continued for another four years.

2. I would not like to see Hillary Clinton become the President because she is too liberal and her liberal ideas will hurt the United States of America.

Answer 6

I would have to disagree with you. I would want Obama to win and Hillary would be a great candidate too. The real winner, I don't think would show himself just yet. It would be great to have a women or any other race besides "white" as president, but this awful awful human race is not ready for a woman, Black, Hispanic, or Asian president.

Answer 7

1. Mark Warner, former governor of Virginia (but he's already opted out of the race).

2. Anyone with the surname "Bush."

Answer 8

1. ralph nader. the man has it all except looks, and sadly thats what goes for so many these days...

2. true, bush. the man (family?) doesnt belong in power, they don't think what the heck have they done to the world. i mean, look at it. ruined.
