I think it would be interesting to talk about who among us--friends, family, acquaintances--would make a decent President of the United States. I am not looking for names of famous people, underling politicians, rich CEOs, etc. I am interested to know if you personally know someone who would make a decent POTUS. Tell us who they are (anonymously, of course) and what attributes or characteristics they possess that would qualify them for the job.
I'll go first. I have a friend from high school who is a college professor, and probably one of the most intelligent, fair, witty, and informed persons I currently know. He teaches courses about politics (but not poli-sci), travels the world, speaks two languages fluently, and is a professional speaker and debater. In his own life, he is fiscally conservative but socially progressive. Of all the people I know, and in my opinion, he would make a decent POTUS.
Your turn!
There's millions of Americans who would make a GREAT POTUS. All but perhaps 10 or 20 are NOT politicians, academics, lawyers, or otherwise "famous".
Frankly, the entire political system and academics, too, turn out people whose incompetence is so stunning, the idea that any of them should be given great responsibility is absurd.
I'd make a great president. Along with a number of people I know. The only thing you REALLY need to know to be president... is what is right and what is wrong. Good and evil. And a conscience.
I think I'd make a good Presidential advisor but I wouldn't want the top job. If wouldn't want to be responsible for something I couldn't totally control.
Who I really think would be great is Charles Krauthammer.
He has a major disability and still got a great education.
He is a doctor so he can also be the Surgeon General with real credentials we get two for one !
