an interesting question that came to me in a thread about obama... it was said that obama wasn't the right president for america this term, and that the right president wasn't even on the ballot...

but who would be the right president? what does america need from its president right now? which issues does he need to be able to handle the best, and which way is even best? what kind of personality does he need to have?

and etc...

any thoughts?

america need a leader that will make decision based on what good for america and not good for his political career or look good in polls. i see CNN and they talk of polls and how this or that look when obama do anything. maybe obama is right president since his polls are go down.

It's not the American president that makes America look liek a jackass, it's the American foreign policy. It needs to change.

The attitude it has towards the rest of the world. You may not realize it, but the American government, just like other superpowers, is a bully. It's a hypocrite in the fact that it does not allow some nations self-determination and freedom when it preaches the exact opposite. Ask around outside of the US. America is the most hated nation in the world.

It's not to do only with the president, however I do believe a president has enough power to change the way the US interacts with the rest of the world. First, the government and congress of the US have to accept that they aren't the caretakers of this planet and that they're just as important as any other country on this planet. Getting them to understand that is trouble enough.

We need someone who won't renege on their campaign promises. In recent history, I can't remember any President that didn't uphold his promises.

I'm not entirely sure if any of you can tell me what the president actualy does.

You place this guy way up on pedistal, when infact he is only 1/3 of Americas government. Stop watching movies that portray the American president as some kind of king/emporor and look at what he actualy can and can't do.

I guess they dont' teach american goverment in Lebenon but our president really doesn't make alot of real discisions or choices.

Hell.. we had a redneck in office for 8 years. Who spent 3.5 years of those 8 doing nothing more than clearing the bushes from around his house. We still moved forward on mulitple wars... granted at the wrong targets... but still the country moved on unhindered.

The president really doesn't do much.

I knew that. I was about to call Obama a puppet but remembered that there are some people on here that would kill me if I said that. I'm well aware of the "higher powers" in the American government.
