I remember when I was a child, I thought of what I might want to be. I wanted to be a scientist and do cool scientist stuff. I ended up being a network/telecom guy. Such is life. One of those childhood memories drilled in me from I don't know where was that anyone can grow up to be anything, even President. Obama broke the color barrier, and that was awesome. But as for me, you couldn't pay me enough to be President. Or famous, for that matter.
Imagine living under a microscope, with every word you utter having meaning. And then those words are misinterpreted, rehashed, respoken, blogged, etc. until the original meaning is lost. Or you just say some dumbass thing, and there you go, 40 percent blah blah say you said blah blah because of blah blah. Sometimes, it's just ludicrous. The people votes the President in, and then there's this chunk that wants them to fail - and relishes in it when it happens. That is a sorry state to be in, isn't it?
It's so easy to sit back in your chair and take potshots at people, though.
I'm thinking most people wouldn't want the job.

I actually think the worst job in any administration is White House Press Secretary. Every day you have to:
1. Face a bunch of jackals and prima donnas in the media.
2. Answer questions you can't really prep for because you don't know ahead of time what you will be asked (no teleprompter for Press Secretary)
3. Look and sound like you know what you are talking about even when a question comes at you from left field and you have no idea and are loathe to use the "I'll get back to you on that" response.
4. Backtrack or cover for your boss and other idiots in the administration who "misspoke."
5. Present the opinion of your boss sometimes before he has presented that opinion, publicly.
6. Reply to a bazillion messages, requests and phone calls every stinkin' day. UGH.
I don't drink but that job could make me drink. The President serves at least 4 years but White House Press Secretaries don't last that long.
Never! in a million years, no matter who you are or what you are, you are constantly under the radar, i'm not an alcholic, but i would be, if i were President!

So the point is that it's "hard" to be Obama or Angie Jolie?
Stay out of the limelight if you can't handle it.
