Should The Presidency Be a "Reward" For The Candidate With the Longest List of Accomplishments ???

Question

Or should the president be chosen because of his/her wisdom, vision, and ability to communciate and pursuade the American People of what needs to be done ?

Answer 1

Who ever the people vote for...people are upset with the Republicans now so everything will be in the Democrats favor...dont blame Obama and McCain...this election is all about which party you rather have in control for the next 4 years

Answer 2

Okay.  So basically what youre saying is that even though Obama hasnt done s**t, he delivers speeches well that are written by others so he should be president?

Uhh uh

Answer 3

NAW! WHY SHOULD WE BE EDUMACATED! LETS LET SOME SMOOTH TALKIN RACIST IN WITH ALMOST ZERO EXPERIENCE! BUT MAKE SURE HES BLACK! LOL!

Answer 4

No, it should be earned by the person who can best represent the American people..that would be Barack Obama.

Answer 5

The Presidency should go to someone who puts the interests of Americans first...No one should be elected into public office that doesn't want to be known as an American...By virtue that McCain is complicit with the selection of a well-known Pro-secessionist (Palin), that should be enough to disqualify the pair....

Answer 6

It should probably be the reward for whoever gets the most electoral votes.  

And sure, your statement is fine.  The ticklish part is determining whose wisdom and vision is in line with your own.  The ability to communicate is very much overrated.  Being able to talk well has little to do with intelligence or the ability to lead.  I'll take a good leader who is tongue-tied or a poor public speaker over one who's glib but corrupt any day of the week.
