what do you mean by this house believes that only retired actors and actress should run the public office?

There is no such rule, either written or unwritten. There have only been a handful of actors or actresses that successfully run for office.

No it is the same old stuff just like always. I think it is time to retire to the old folks home :)

NO and like all elected and non-elected officials they should be subjected to immediate removal by the people in a majority  rule particularly when they are not serving the will of the public majority.

Anyone who is natural born and age 35 and over is more than welcome to run.  We cant elected them if they dont run.  Its also important to see what there views are on the issues.  If a ultra-liberal black woman was running fro office anf lost you cant assume its because she was a woman or black.  (just an example)

NO! They need to retire. If they need something to do let them go work as door greeters for Wal-Mart and stay out of politics. They had their term and now they are elected for NOTHING. We don't need unelected, self-appointed ambassadors for anything. And that includes Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Carter and Danny Glover.\n\nBesides, we seem to have enough "life-time" senators as it is. what we really need is two term life-time limits on ALL offices. career politicians are what is destroying democracy and America with it.

Election of a government in USA is one great movie and I guess hollywood is taking lessons from that hyperbole. Can you ever undermine the acting skills of a politician? How good would be the actors in front of hardcore politicians? Have you not seen politicians coming out to cameras with a wonderful plastic smile when they are into deepest of problems? Hollywood will never catch up with the US politicians - they have a class much higher than OSCAR. What have you missed in US in the last decade than in the Hollywood movies? You had sex, terror, fighting and what not!!

Good question , I think a politician and an actor can switch jobs easily , most actors wanted to get involved in politics :  to start with a politician is an actor  : they both act , they hide easily   their true identity and  both can manipulate people  ,  actors fit the job of a politician : Ronald Reagan and Arnold S. are  good examples and Bush missed his job as an actor in Hollywood instead of the white house , he would have been an excellent   comedian ready to make a joke at any minute and laugh..

YES I do. As a matter of fact, i do admire HONEST & INTELLIGENT politicians rather than famous and glamorous actors/actresses. I really like their wits and intelligence. I always wanted to be a good leader since I was a child and  I experienced it through friends, family and business. Like politicians, not are 100% deserving to be one and that i may be compared for, i used to make mistakes too.

HAHAHA... this is the least likely question I've ever seen in my life... your list could just as easily be made up of the cast of American Idol... if anyone actually thinks Republicans will nominate a woman any time in the near future, I have some ocean front property in Arizona I want to sell you... they are called conservative for a reason... hahahaha

Yes. This situation is logical. All government officers, however highly ranked, are there to serve the public and have to report into public representatives, who are nothing but elected political leaders. This is how democracy works. At times, it may not be a very efficient way of managing our affairs but democracy ensures that someone who actually represents the people is actually in charge. I can understand your cynicism. Somebody once said, in a democracy you deserve the government you get!

Having a good idea, and having something that is practical enough to actually work are separate things, but it WAS a fictional show. An actor as President? It's been done before, with good results. R.Reagan oversaw the downfall of the Berlin Wall, and the U.S.S.R. breakup. However, I think Geena Davis is probably satisfied with her political support for real politicians.

Because, unfortunately, more people believe in the TV fictional vote than believe in effecting a change in the real world. Some are afraid if they vote for a person/proposition they are somehow responsible if they are wrong. It is easier to vote for a TV personality since it has no bearing on the quality of life one enjoys. It is doubly easier to complain about appointees and legislation if you have chosen to not actually exercise your right to vote.

There will always be a president.  Someone always wants the office...many as the ultimate power trip.  Think of it, the fame and power of being the elected head of a country.  Unfortunately, that doesn't mean the brightest and the best...it usually means a wealthy, dishonest, career politician with his own agenda...not a normal, intelligent, middle income john q. public who really cares about the U.S. and the people.  Just my own opinion....

If you would choose anyone from Hollywood to be President you should no longer be allowed to vote. Hollywood people like Reagan are once in a lifetime.

Probably knowledge and experience in other political areas, like previously holding elected office would help. But as far as requirements, I think we've had a wrestler and a movie star, so...

Well, houses are good if you have one. You have to start with everyone, from within, doing their part. People are quite adverse to this.
