What exactly do we want in a President?

Question

Tons of experience in foreign policy or someone who does not have much but could keep the peace? IMHO what we need the most is a peaceful person who will lead our country with pride, humillity, prosperity and dignity. Someone who wouldn't make the mistakes that Bush made. McCain has vowed to follow Bush's foot steps. Beware my fellow country men and women, I'm afraid you might lose your job, house and finally you will have to sit on the streets and sell apples.

Republican family for Democrat. Time for change Time for peace!

Answer 1

I agree, time for change, and time for peace, but we need someone who is not afraid to use the most powerful military in the world, and use it wisely.  Why are we having so much trouble from a few groups of terrorists??? We need to have a President who will recognize an act of war when he sees it, and act accordingly.  Then have the guts to tell the U.N to go to h**l when they cry about it all.  Like Putin in Russia.  He did what he wanted with Georga, and told the rest of the world to mind their own business.  So far I have not heard of any action against Russia, and there wont be because Russia won't put up with any.  Maybe we need Putin to run for President. Ha Ha ha,  

Answer 2

I differ with you asker.  McCain has vowed for change but has followed in Bush's footsteps 90% of the time.  Bush has made some stupid knee jerk reactions that has done as much to hurt our country as the catastrophe of 911.  It's not slogan for me but in J. McCain I see the same.  Just mean spirited little bullies who lied to get us in a useless war.  I guess they think if they keep telling us that we are "winning" this war we will believe it.  Not a life that has been loss should have been to satisfy the vendetta that Bush had about they tried to kill his daddy.

Answer 3

It depends on the problems that come up during the presidency, which we cannot foresee.  It's a c**p shoot.  I trust McCain.

Answer 4

What do i want from a president?

To be able to make the hardest of the decisions ever ... without flinching! THAT's what i expect from my president.

I don;t want an overly zealous president who will waste his time trying to "find" solutions to a problem that has none. I don;t want a president who will "sit and talk" with enemies when you know there is no talking with them. I don't want a president that will ALWAYS place diplomacy ahead of the US interests.

Because like it or not we have become a huge target. Justified or not we are hated by many some for good reasons some for non at all other than standing for what is right and just in the eyes of society.

So yeah give me a hard head anytime before you give me a puppet who will wait for its strings to be pulled.
