If you were president of the U.S. what would you do to improve the country?

Once I contribute heavily to your campaign and vote "twice" for you I'm going to expect nothing less than first class perks. The use of Air Force One to visit my girl and the presidential motorcade to go to McDonalds is the least I would hope for. One last thing when you become madam president. Bring all your pets. Not just one like most these wimpy presidents have. ‹(°¿°)›

So it was all thanks to you, that I actually won! Because of the recount of ballots! Rest assure my loyal citizen, I will bring the whole caboodle, it will look like a zoo!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Let's turn the White House lawn into a full-fledged zoo. ‹(°¿°)›

Huh? What? OK. ‹(°¿°)›

Hey with so much negativity today every laugh is like a million dollars. Now call off the dogs. I caught them watching me in the shower. ‹(°¿°)›

Thanks jumpingjack you took my response in a positive way.

I couldn't have summed it up better. War is no answer for anything. It really doesn't benefit anyone but those with no conscious. I'm talking about the super wealthy. ‹(°¿°)›

Well that poll was overwhelming Democrats, so I don't think its really a good basis to go by. I would be tougher on the spread of Islamic Extremism to stop the spread of terrorism in the world.

There's the possibility you could. You know why I say this? Because you're open minded enough to see the big picture. This president doesn't listen to his cabinet, he does what he wants. He doesn't care about our needs. That's why his overall approval rating is at an all time low of 28%. So there is a 72% chance you very well could do a better job than Bush. ‹(°¿°)›

A big thank you! If you I and I'm sure many, many others can see that, why can't he and his advisers? I'll tell you why. Because they don't want to. They have their own agenda and the American people they're supposed to represent, doesn't matter anymore. All that matters to these pompous azzes is money and power. Not doing the right thing. ‹(°¿°)›

Yeah... Everyone of them have their own hidden agenda. The president is just following his father's footsteps. Or he wants to surpass what his father have done. It all boils down to how he'd been a part of history. And that's how he wants to be remembered.

Couldn't have said it much better myself. I'll tell you this much. When people look back 100 years from now at this president, they're going to be mighty disgusted. ‹(°¿°)›

I think your first sentence says it all. I agree, there's no reason why the African deserts can't be developed and made suitable for living. Look what has become of Las Vegas to name one. You've got my vote when it comes to reforming the school system. So many changes are needed with the control of mind and body being near the top of the list. Oh goodness you've tweaked a nerve by mentioning the corrupt Defense Dept. and the contractors that work for the dept. Of course as president you can rectify these problems. Using just an ounce more of common sense than the current Texas tumbleweed. Soldiers like police and firemen are grossly under- payed considering the nature of their jobs. I can't for the life of me understand why these professions have gone so overlooked. Add teachers to that list as well. Negotiations would be nice but "man" not necessarily women, don't understand the concept. Men only truly understand force and power which never works out to anyone's benefit as history has proven so many times. I've said for years that I believe the right woman would make a better president than most she followed. I believe a woman possess the inner self needed to understand another's plight. I believe that a woman knows how to properly extend an olive branch and have it be excepted graciously. A greener America means a healthier people. Healthier people mean happier people. Happier people mean more productive members of society. I don't see why my government doesn't understand this simple concept. Don't worry, corporate media has lost its credibility here. The majority doesn't respect much of what spews forth anymore. It is a shame that the honest word is suppressed. There may come a day soon when investors realize the potential in getting the truth out. Oh if you only knew how close you are indeed of your assessment of our current political state. Be very scared. Be very, very scared. No matter where you live. Here or abroad. ‹(°¿°)›

I absolutely agree with you. I am disabled and have been following the progress of the Community Choice Act. Though I am young I found myself in a nursing home for about 10 months covered by institutional Medicaid. Boy was I in for a shock when I left and was trying to get back on my feet (literally in my case). Doors were slamming shut everywhere. The thing that saved me was my tenacity and persistence. Our voting system (process) is antiquated. With technology the way it is voting should be literally instantaneous. The current system is meant to bend or break when needed. I'll be honest, I'm not familiar with the global gag rule or the Hyde Amendment. I will tell you his however, it's never about what's best for the people but what's best for a politician's career. Great points. ‹(°¿°)›

I'm right with you on "almost" eliminating the parties. We can't do that and expect to be treated fairly. That's exactly what was happening when The Congress and Bush were in control together. What I suggest is to keep the Legislative Branch as a two or more party platform. What I would change is make the Executive Branch, president and vice president from opposing parties. This way the president HAS to negotiate for what he wants. Whether his party is in control of the House or not. Perhaps someday someone with a sense of reality like you or I will sit in the Oval Office. Until then all we can do is keep our wish lists handy. ‹(°¿°)›

Excellent ideas. I always wonder why, if you, I and so many others can see this, why can't these idiots see it in Washington?

You've got some great ideas. The problem is, we can't get anyone with a human heart in Washington. People like you, I or many others could really get things done. Because, unlike the politicians, we haven't lost our empathy and compassion for our fellow man.

Excellent. Now why can't we get people with at least half a brain in Washington. I'll take a politician with half a brain over one with a full wallet, any day. Think about that.

I totally agree. The government just doesn't get it. They're so out of touch with the citizens it's tearing the country up.

Very good thoughts. Why is it that we as, common citizens, can figure it out, yet these trained monkey's in Washington can't. Let's face it. It's no accident these people are in Washington. They are groomed for their roles. All I can say is, our government knows of our plights and woes but couldn't care less because they only serve a certain tax bracket we can only fantasize about.
