Obama and mccain.......the greatest country on the planet and this is the best we can do?

Question

real leaders with vision have no desire to run for president

Answer 1

you answered your own question.

Answer 2

It might not be the best we can do, but it's what the majority has chosen and we have to respect it..................

Answer 3

-Would You rather another 4 Years of Bush/Cheney ??? Consider what it takes to MOTIVATE a Person to become a Politician- & I think you'll find the Answer to your Question... If YOU think you're "too Smart" to run for High Office, then who's gonna be LEFT to do the Job ??! - Bingo!- SOMEONE like Obama, McSame, Bush, & Etc. !!! It's TOO EASY to sit here on the Sidelines & whine about the Quality (or lack there-of) of the People running for President... But Until we get OFF the "fence" & commit Ourselves to making the Country a better Place, -then what we "See" -is all we're gonna get to vote for. The CHOICE -is Ours.  :)

Answer 4

They have the desire, but they're just not chosen.

It's all a matter of money and coverage, and who gets the most of it. Which way the media spins things.

Sad, really.

Answer 5

Problem is people in this country are afraid of or can't handle the truth. That's why the party's throw up nominees who can be convincing, but not necessarily honest.

A good example was Perot. He told the truth, but people didn't like how he looked.(See ya later Ross)

I remember him saying that if NAFTA was approved, that sucking sound you'll hear is US jobs going to Mexico.

I'm not saying that Perot would have been a good preisident, but he had the guts to be honest, and the big party's demonized him.

Answer 6

Now that is a good question and I think a lot of people feel the same. I think Obama is pretty good but I think they could have done a lot better than McCain.  Too old.  They should have had a younger candidate and more charismatic.

Real leaders are too busy running corporations or are in the labs or just great thinkers sitting on a hillside with heads full of great ideas.  We will never know.  Some of the greatest thinkers wouldn't have the contacts or the money to run.  Sad.  Its our loss.  Hurry up November and lets get this over with.  

Answer 7

Maybe we ought to go back to nominating a candidate, instead of them asking us to be nominated.  Let's pick the best, most qualified person and ask them to run the country.  The people that really want the job and pay millions to get it just aren't trustworthy.

Answer 8

True, most  do not have the desire thanks mostly to the media. That's why we are usually stuck with the choice of a lawyer, a crook, or some nut for president.
