He's my president, I might not like everything he and his administration are doing, but we have to put up a united front so that we won't appear weak to other countries. We don't want other countries laughing at us now. Do we?

From previous answers it seems to me that ppl enjoy the conditions of the world today, but it would be like the Bible says that it will be, there would be no crime no violence, there would be love among mankind I mean true love not what they call love.There would be no hunger or poverty, no misery there would be respect for everyone no racial preduisce,no lying no cheating on their spouses, no abandoned children,or animals, , noone would need to lockup their house or car,there would be no roberies,no need for insurance, no death no pain, no sickness, no hatred, people would work together in harmony, and acomplish much more toward the good of the world rather than to the detrement of the world no wars no fighting no bombing, nomarriage breakups, and no police necessary or doctors hospitals etc. and the world would be a better place for all! I'm sure I have probably left something out, but I'm not perfect, that's one,  perfection would exist in the world too.

I will be happier. Definitely. Safer? No. Because of the Bush legacy it will take a long time to show the world that Americans are good people again. Bush's war mongering has caused hatred all over the world and formed a new breed of Anti-American terrorists. Any new president, Republican or Democrat, will have to have unbelievable diplomatic skills to undo what Bush has done.

Sounds like America would be better off without you.

i think u make sense. the world will be a much better place if people were nicer to eachother. \n\nin particular, i think that instead of going to war against other countries, maybe we should be making peace. i mean, even the people who flew planes into the twin towers had a reason for doing it...at the time, american soldiers were in saudi arabia. maybe instead of blowing their homes up, we should be listening to their complaints and helping to solve them\n\nso yeah, i think we should have a "everyone shut up and be nice to eachother day"

Totally. Everyone would get along better and no one would look down on anyone really. Everyone would have better self esteem too.

You obviously have a very simplistic view of the world. I like it that you are idealistic and you believe that everything is good and for a good purpose but you forget that not everyone is an idealist and although you would like things to be the way you said, reality is not quite so true.\nAmerica is not the hero you would like to believe, that goes around the world helping others. Who wouldn't like to believe that? But it isn't so. Look at what you are saying, America freeing people from an overbearing oppressive regime..etc etc.. how many countries can you name in the continent of Africa where this is true? where people are murdered in relentless genocide? And what is America doing about it? Your hypothesis would be true if you could prove it for every instance. If you can't then it's just a hypothesis. America doesn't do anything out of heroism. America donates 0.1% of its GDP in world aid ranking it at # 23 amongst developed nations. There are more ways to help people around the world than by taking an army to their country and waging war. I don't see too many of those efforts. Do you?\n\nAlso, America is not a true democracy. It is more of an oligarchy, if you know the meaning of that word. Yes, you have the choice of voting people in and out of office but if you looked at history you would see for how long some people have been in the political circuit. It's like a tag team, you vote one out, another person comes in. You think they are different, but they are from the same tag team, just switched positions. Go find out how long Cheney has been in and around the White House, or Rumsfeld. Go find out how long the Bush family has been involved with the government. It's not as rosy as you think. And if you believe that the American democracy allows anyone to run for office, you should first try winning a town election.

Wow! Nice insightful question. \nAs President I would:\n1 bring the troops home to protect are boarders, nuclear power plants and public transportation.\n2 I would have a legitimate team of people investigate the Bush administration.\n3 I would try to pass a law that would require all non emergency government vehicles be hybrids.\n4 I would sit down with a group of teachers and discuss what can be done to fix our educational program. (Teachers not administrator who have never stepped one foot in a class room.)\n5 I would work with doctors, nurses and insurance companies to provide a nation wide health care program.\n6 to take further steps in the environment I would offer huge tax breaks to people who buy a hybrid car that year.\n7 yes I would probably raise taxes for a little while (we have no chose now that this admin has put us in so much dept that we owe more then this country is worth.)\n8 I would offer tax breaks to those companies who produce more hybrid vehicles then regular, I would also add in a stipulation that any car that exceeds 55 mpg in the city would qualify\n9 I would legalize marijuana, place regulations on its growers and tax it.\n10 I would try like hell to pass a law that would not allow a company that has taken American jobs out of the USA and put them in a foreign Country to import those products back into America. (I say try because God knows this is going to be tough to get through congress.)\n11 This one should be higher on the list but I just remembered (duh) I would raise the minimum wage to $9.50 per hour.\n12 I would try to pass a law that any company who lies off more then 50 workers in a year will not be eligible for any tax breaks\n13 I would start showing up regularly to natal to talk to other world leaders and there representatives.\n14 I would work with colleges and universities to find a way to make state colleges and universities free to the public.\n15 I would take a major pay cut\n16 I would offer a huge tax break for the first car company to make all there vehicles environmentally friendly.\n17 I would try to push through a law that will place harsher punishment on crimes and that anyone in prison will be required to work for the state on clean up crews. (No free meals! No cable TV you earn your keep)\n That is for starters!

I would not want to be president of america. For many reasons. I am a female and don't think women should have that much power, because(not meaning to be rude) we would screw up. I think no matter what happens in the economy, the president is blamed. He is also blamed for anything bad that happens. I would not want that type of responsibility.

Still the best country in the world; if we can get Bush, his brain, and all his scandals out of the White House, we can be respected throughout the world again, and be proud to be the Worlds Super Power.

Oh would the world be a whole lot better, but human nature is just bizarre sometimes, but I love your frame of mind, none of these things builds character or self esteem in the long run.

Yes, the U.S is one of the best places to live...we are also one of the world's powers, plus it would be good for the economy.

The world would descend into chaos, possibly another Dark Age.  The United States is simply the greatest force for good on earth.
