Do you secretly dream of being president?

[undeterred]

Poll question: Do you secretly dream of being president?

Someone recently told me that all men want to be president. I thought I should ask the lounge to see if this is true...

[Pierre.Suave]

1. I am male, and I WANT to be President.

I would have Al Gore and Dennis Kucinich helping me out.

I would make everything right.

[undeterred]

4. Cool. Which one is your VP?

And BTW you're not on steroids or anything, are you? :evilgrin:

[Pierre.Suave]

6. NO, I am not on steroids

I think I would let Al Gore be my VP and let Dennis be my AG...

[undeterred]

7. What about Joe Biden?

[Pierre.Suave]

8. Didnt he vote for the IWR?

that is an immediate disqualification in my administration.

[undeterred]

12. How about Jimmy Carter for Secretary of State then...

[Pierre.Suave]

18. He might be a bit too old...

I was considering Bill Richardson.

[Pool Hall Ace]

2. I am a female who does not want to be President.

In fact, sometimes I think one has to be a tad bit insane to even run for President.

However, I do believe I could do a better job than the current White House occupant.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I often dream of being president, and would love to be!

[Orsino]

5. Not secretly or otherwise.

Not my dream.

[Aristus]

9. I dream of being President all the time.

And Aaron Sorkin is my speech writer. B-)

[undeterred]

11. Is Bradley Whitford there? Or Rob Lowe?

Because if they are, I want to work in your dream world too!

[Aristus]

14. No, but,

John Edwards is my Attorney General
Wesley Clark is my Secretary of Defense
Dennis Kucinich is my Sec of Hud
Al Gore is Chairman of the EPA.
Ralph Nader is the Chairman of the Consumer Products Safety Commission
And Bill Clinton is the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

[undeterred]

19. What about Skinner?

:shrug:

10. It's a pipe dream, but sure, that would be cool

First thing I'd do is dismantle practically every piece of legislation that Bush crammed through the political process. Department of Homeland Security: gone. Military Commissions Act: deleted. USA PATRIOT Act: fileted.

Oh, and that splendid little excursion in Iraq? We're bringing the troops home right now. Except for a select few that we'll send into Pakistan to extract Osama bin Laden from his hidey-hole no matter what Musharraf or the Carlyle Group has to say about it.

Then I'd turn my attention to George W. Bush, just as he was about to fly to Paraguay for his cushy retirement. He'd learn at his airport that his passport has just been revoked, his assets have been frozen, and there's at least one warrant out for his arrest. But maybe, just maybe, he can slip past the Federal dragnet if he runs for the Mexican border on foot...

And on Thanksgiving eve, I want to ask my aide, "Get me the Butterball hotline." :evilgrin:

[hobbit709]

I'm holding out for God-Emperor of the Universe

Nothing else is worth my time.

[Lyric]

13. I am female and I would make a phenomenal President

However I am 100% unelectable. I'm agnostic and bisexual, with a long-term same-sex partner, a bad credit rating (yes, such things matter), an arrest record (a mistake, and the charges were dropped completely when I went to court, but still) and a child out of wedlock. The nation would never allow one such as I to steer the course.

Oh well. I can always be the behind-the-scenes mastermind for some promising Democratic politician--the liberal, less-evil version of Karl Rove, if you will. :)

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

15. I would, and Willie Nelson would be my Presidential Advisor.

[Breeze54]

16. I would love to be president! President's can do a lot of good for people

and change the world, if they want too!

[Perry Logan]

17. I don't want it. But I fear the job will be thrust upon me.

[undeterred]

20. Ah, there's always that. If we can't get Al Gore, we'll draft you.

:hi:

[RadiationTherapy]

21. I have sincerely thought for years that

those who wish to become heads of state are mentally deranged. Maybe I am wrong. I like the idea of a reticent president, though; much better than the resident president.

Maybe I can adapt my hypothesis to be those who seek power over others are mentally deranged; then it would include more abusers and CEOs.

hmmmmm.

[undeterred]

22. I wonder what Bill is thinking about in this picture.

[bookworm65t]

23. My brother does

but unfortunately he is a freeper.

[no name no slogan]

24. No way. Worst job in the world.

Shitty hours, not so great pay (for the hours/responsibility), plus you have to live in a freaking fishbowl. No thanks.
