The other day in my politics class, we were asked what we looked for in our next president.
Meaning like.
Are we more concerned about foreign affairs like war, peace, diplomacy, communism and genocide happening around the world. Or are we more concerned with ourselves. where our country is going. Jobs, health care, economy and government aid.
So im asking. Where do you stand, what are you looking for.
Thanks

A sensible mix of foreign and domestic policies,keeping in mind that personal agendas do not mix well with policy.

Exactly Deal. We need to take care of ourselves with the same principle as with first aid. If you're disabled you can't help others. "Dead hero's can't save lives"
But we have to realize that this world is a lot smaller than our egos would lead us to believe. We need to be friends with or at least have a working dialog with the rest of the world. Open trade, give and take etc.

I like someone who is versatile. That's why I'm a Rick Perry supporter.

Foresight, and true depth of character.

One who believes in fiscal responsibility, a dedication to pay down the debt, ability to be a statesman, common sense on foreign policy and quality leadership ability. I guess that rules out all candidates and incumbents! True depth of character rules out ALL politicians.

I don't mean to sound like a bitch but I think a pres that focused more on domestic affairs and only did what was necessary with foreign affairs would be ideal right now. We have a lot of problems here in the US and I think we need someone to fix them before spending billions to fix some other countries problems.

To have a chance of winning, a Presidential candidate must have the following attributes:
1. Have good hair and teeth, and look good on TV;
2. Be very smooth at delivering rehearsed 30-second sound bites;
3. Be willing to say almost anything, true or not, that the polls indicate is popular at the moment;
4. Be very, very, very good at raising money.
Although not 100% necessary, it also helps a lot if your daddy was someone important or rich.
Shockingly, we never seem to get the person we really need, do we?

Not that that I'm one to endorse a politician, but 4 years ago I was hoping for Hillary Clinton. I must say though I was pretty proud a minority candidate won. Maybe he can finally end some of the non sense in Washington

I look for intellignce, ability to reason logically, sufficient education to express logical conclusions succinctly, a willingness to adapt theories to include new data, and a willingness to compromise.
The only Presidential candidate I can think of in my lifetime, who has had all those qualities, was Jack Anderson, who ran against Ronald Regan in 1984.

At the moment, the incumbent resident seems to come closer than any other candidate to posessing all those qualities. If she were a candidate, I'd vote for the current Secretary of State. I think she posesses those qualities, and was disappointed when she did not win the nomination four years ago.
