Yeah, itt just reminds me that some trolls are actually quite cute, but they also tend to go away after awhile.

Good luck with finding a blemish free politician or human being for that matter.

If you were in the position to be president would you go for it?

Matt: Blemish free, there's no one ever that clean! But someone closely related to any type of scandal or fraud weather it be Clinton,Bush,Obama, or Wu if he decided to run for president lol If anyone has a track record or involved with anyone who does they may make decisions that will jeopardize the country. Unfortunatly everyone has price at which they can be bought, some cheaper than others which sucks

No way, would you?
1. Immediately 50% of the country hates your guts 2. You lose almost all freedom that you once had (we see Obama going through this with wanting to go to the "gym" and trying to keep his "blackberry" which the The Secret Service told him is a huge security risk) 3. $400,000 which after taxes is roughly, maybe, $225,000 a year?
Hell, I think we should pay our presidents $5,000,000 a year. Then you'd see blemish free rocket scientists, business moguls who've made fortunes and know how capitalizism works, brain surgeons who've dedicated their lives to helping others, BATTLING it out for the top spot on the planet...In other words, you'd get the cream of the crop as far as men, women, leaders and over-achievers go. Even though there have been some great, unbelievable men as president, I don't think we've ever had a genius in the White House.
Except for GW Bush of course...

Agree with you on being a genius, but book smarts alone are the absolute best asset. I've met some very intelligent people that would make terrible leaders. Many of the great leaders in history were smart, but not necessarily geniuses.

Everyone has some sort of scandal in their lives and it's pretty sad that we're so busy finger pointing we forget that there are bigger (and many times more immediate) fires to extinguish.

I hope the Dems don't become scandal-covered again....first this guy, then there's Timothy Geithner, and now Caroline Kennedy surprisingly dropping out of the senate bid.

I disagree with Wrinklesguy a bit in his last post. There is corruption in all sides, but not all sides are necessarily corrupt. It may sound like semantics, but it really isn't.
Unfortunately, politics of all kind tend to do that to a good number of people. We need more idealists who can stick to their guns in the face of corruption and temptation to just grab power and wealth at the expense of someone else. I hope Barack Obama is that sort of man. Is he? Who knows, but for all our sakes, we ought to prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.
