Why would you want to be President

[walkur]

It's the Onion... but like a lot of their articles they leave you wondering.

It reminded me of the docu about killing bin laden, and the bits about wether or not to go ahead on a 50% chance he was there while potentially alienating a nessecary ally.

I would have a mental breakdown within months/weeks

Well, with the new detainment law that Obama just signed I would detain Congress and the Court and declare the new GoPackGo Empire....let the Benevolent Nightmare Begin

I want Obama's Presidency - that way I can bang all the hot white women I want.

Why would you want to be President

Trust me I don't.

It's not about the stress of decision making, it'd be the fact that there are more powerful men behind the scenes and the President is nothing more than a figurehead standing up at the bully pulpit to get torn asunder. Public opinion is a fickle mistress, he can keep it.

The Presidency has devolved into an American idol contest.

I can't imagine any well adjusted person wanting that awful job. You'd have to have a monstrous ego. Which is a big part of the problem.

Why would I want to be President? No traffic hassles and Air Force One beats the hell out of flying commercial.

In the belief that when it's over, the country would be a better place for what I had done.

BJ's in the Oval Office.

In the belief that when it's over, the country would be a better place for what I had done.

By the time you scratched everyone's back just to get to the office, you're already corrupted to the core.
