No. Current politicians are already mentally unstable enough.
We don't need to add psychopath on top of everything else.
That's Romney to a 'T', and while I like Romney, I can't recall of the top of my head a case of a similar President to bolster that case. I want a President with executive experience (preferably a governor - a full term governor), extensive business experience, and a healthy understanding of and appreciation for both capitalism and freedom. I think though that the ability to clearly articulate a vision and persuade others to his or her way of thinking might be the very most important thing. That, or maybe a will of iron.
35 years old and being a natural born citizen of the US or Kenya are the only qualifications for president.
Kennedy was NOT a good president. He was well loved by an ignorant public, theres a difference.
Look at the ones that did
Carter NO!
Kennedy NO!
Eisenhower OK++
Truman OK+
These we are all, more or less, pretty good presidents, at least compared to the ones since Carter. We need less governors and senators and more millitary men.
The ignorance is yours.
And there's nothing to do about it it seems to me.
If you'd like to argue, please comment on the substance of the following topics:
- JFK's Africa policy, including his plans with Patrice Lumumba
- JFK's Alliance for Progress and Latin and Southern American policies
- JFK's Tax bill Lowering taxes was a good idea
- JFK's leadership on civil rights
- JFK's leadership on the moon landing Good
- JFK's leadership on developing counter-insurgency in the miiltary, including the Navy Seals
- JFK's cold war peace initiatives with Kruschev, including the limited nuclear test ban treaty and the agenda of his speech to American University in June, 1963
- JFK's resolution of the Laos crisis What?
- JFK's decision to withdraw from Vietnam by 1965 A big fat lie!
- JFK's advocacy for the poor and Medicare
Those are for a start.
--- shhhh.....don`t wake kylebisme up......you will get the whole 9/11 thing started again....Oh no, you are not one of those "Bush lost the election" conspiracists, are you? It is in the same group as we faked the moon landing and we used super thermite to take down the twin towers.
Then your man is Herbert Hoover... the last time we elected a CEO president, how did that work out?
There were only two Presidents in the 20th century that their election as President was there first and only elected office. One was ill suited to be President: Hoover. The other was a very good if not great president: Eisenhower.
Once again, how can we draw any conclusions from just two very different choices?
Ford....US Navy OK
Reagan....US Army Great!
Bush(41)....US Navy OK
Bush(43)....Air National Guard OK
So, what's your point?
Bush 43 OK? What exactly was OK about it?
This is true. But remember President Obama insisted on the backup helicopter which was fortunate since one of the helicopters failed and they had to destroy it.
Yes the capabilities of the Special Forces improved since Carters time but the fact that President Obama changed the initial plan to add in more "fail safes" like the extra Helicopter shouldn't be discounted....
Reguardless of if you liked Bush or Gore, that's not Democracy.

JFK was a failure as President.

What energy problem?Here's another pro-tip, if we'd listened to Carter 35 years ago, we wouldn't be having the same magnitude of energy related problems we are today. Such a horrible president.
What energy problem?
I'm serious. I haven't owned a TV in about 3 years so I'm really out of the loop on stuff like this. I haven't seen any energy crisis yet. I still drive around just for the fun of it and I still dry my clothes using a dryer (hanging them to dry with a dehumidifier in the room is a LOT more energy efficient).
