why would anyone in their right mind want to be president?
1. Millions of dollars of speaking fees when you leave office.
2. Tens of millions of dollars of kick backs when you leave office for favors (delayed bribes) granted during presidency.
3. Fame.
4. The pussy that comes with 1, 2, and 3.
5. The false perception of being immortalized in history. I say false because really on a cartoonification of you is immortalized.

Then you have several options.
1. Be born damn good looking.
2. Become rich and make it obvious you are rich.
3. Become a rock star.

4. Just let goats fuck you up the ass like Call It Crazy does.
5. Use a dildo, CIC. Just remember the #rechargableBatteriesDumbass.

>>why would anyone in their right mind want to be president?
What is the point of this rhetorical question? That we should not have a president? That we should not have an election? If 1800 people want to be president, who are you to question them? Are you just nother right-winger trying to get people to stay home on election day?
>>unsustainable social programs that damage the economy
You mean, tax cuts and bailouts for the rich, which damage the economy?

That we should not have a president?
We shouldn't have a president. It's too much power for any individual. The very concept is a stupid throwback to the days of kings.
At this point I hope whoever wins Nov 8 has the guts and brains to address head on systemic problems like unsustainable social programs that damage the economy (sadly it requires going in details)
then there is the problem of technology itself which is displacing workers (not just in coal miners, auto plant workers, cashiers at big box stores, etc.) this problem was highlighted in a 60 minutes segment years ago...

then there are regional problems like the drought in california and the western region of the USA

etc, etc, etc....
IMHO anyone who is seeking office is kinda like Don Quixote (you know the guy who attacked windmills because he saw them as a problem)
and then there are the followers of Don Quixote (who are laughed at by the other side)
one last thing to think about
