Do you think we should have a President that has a history of many marriages?

Question

I think a Leader should be a role model and only have one wife and married a long time to that wife.""" what is your view on this ?

He would be so busy getting to know a new wife and pleasing her HOW WOULD he have time to run the country???? and they have 5 marriages between them now I ask would he run the country that way Like going from country to country?Ponder?

Answer 1

I don't consider it any of my business.....or yours.

Answer 2

In case you wonder, in Mexico Presidents are really careful about their image. They might hate their wife and their marriage may be beyond the making up point, but they will remain married until the term is over. Once that happens they get divorced. We even knew that the President and his wife each had their favorite friends but officially they were still married. Being President puts too much of a strain on a marriage that is not strong, and a President that is unable to handle a marriage is certainly not prepared to handle a country. As to the one wife, well...there are too many divorced politicians around to actually expect them to be married only one time, after all they can make mistakes, but too many marriages is not a good sign to send out to constituents, and it is sure to turn up at mudslinging time.

Answer 3

I pick a president based on an ability to manage the US domestic and forign policy.

He or She should also be a uniter of all party's and not beholding to any religious, Corporate or special interest.

Their personal experience in life is important in only one area, he or she should not be of low moral fiber.

Marriages, girlfriends and youthful indiscretions should not be a major factor.

I'd rather be able to trust their word than know why a relationship worked or not.

Answer 4

I don't think it matters, as long as he or she is a good president.

Single, divorced, married more than once - doesn't matter to me.

I believe that if you have promised to be monogamous, you should keep that promise. But I am also a realist, and I know that many people are going to find that hard to do.

Nobody is perfect; presidents are human too.

I'd prefer it if my president did not cheat on his or her partner, but would not consider cheating on a partner to be a reason to end his or her presidency.

Answer 5

I think that makes him just like the rest of us. If you are married to the same person for over 20 years, you are blessed. And becoming rare.

Many church denominations have that requirement for their preachers and deacons, and they are having a difficult time fillng deacon positions.

I don't mean to make light of our divorce rate. It is ridiculous. But I'm in a position to tell you that long-term marriages are becoming rare.

Answer 6

I think in this country he's representative of the population he's seeking to serve.

I think your secondary statement has nothing to do with being a good president.

Answer 7

I assume you're speaking of Rudy Giuliani, no?

Your question sounds kinda like "Should we have a President who is gay and has a civil union from Vermont?".

Answer 8

At least he admits and keeps trying when he doesn't get it right. Unlike the denying and lying little man in office now.

Answer 9

I don't see the difference between a President who has had one marriage and many different "affairs"...and a President who has had many different marriages.

Answer 10

Why not? We had a philanderer and lying adulterer in the White house for eight years, and half the country rose up in arms to defend him from his detractors. And they would take him back again if the constitution did not prevent it. In politics morality often is a relative thing, depending on whose ox is getting gored.

Answer 11

Why not? He would have the same experience as half the country.

I'm a repub by the way...
