Anybody who runs for president is a nutjob. To get elected today, you have to go on TV and be a boastful, shallow, evasive ass. In this country as it is, would you want 100 million people to tell you they like and agree with you? If that happened to me, I'd consider myself a gigantic failure.
Besides which, if you think being president would be good, you're not the kind who should be president. When I was a kid, I used to think I wanted to be president so I could fix all the nation's problems. Then I grew up and realized that most people don't want help- they want somebody to blame so they don't have to fix their problems. I also realized that no human has the wisdom to really rule over this mighty nation. Solomon said it best:
1 Kings 3:7-10 (NKJV)
7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. 8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You rhave chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. 9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?? 10 The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
"I wouldn't vote for you, you don't have enough money!" - Sounds ridiculous
Think about all of the people you know that would make a better president than George Bush(Flame OFF to all of the bush supporters, substitute some other former president if you wish). Do they have buttloads of cash spewing out of their rears? Probably not. So money is not necessarily a quality that makes a good president.
You need:
To get the word out to the entire United States
Convince Americans that YOU have the experience and know-how to do the job
Otherwise convince Americans that your ideals are suitable
Don't be a tool (Very important)
Yes, it will take some $$$ to get there, but if you think outside the box, I think it is possible. You don't have to be sweating cash to run for/be president. It just takes some ingenuity and LOTS of self confidence.
