I THOUGHT WE HAD A DECENT PRESIDENT ALREADY. \nIF NOT WHY DID THE PEOPLE VOTE HIM IN TWICE.

I must say the teacher who dumped this on you has a funny idea of American politics.  But nevermind.\n\nThe only one that might fail to explain why the president is responsible for being a strong leader would be "the weakness of Congress."  Congress is not actually weak.  Bungling, self-interested, possibly even corrupt, but not really weak.

I think the US is ready for a no bullshit president.  One like Truman or many others like him who go off the principle that they are there to make the country(our country) a better place.  Whether it's male, female, black, white, or brown my vote will go to the person who comes out and says listen I know this may not be the most popular idea but here's what I'm thinking and why it'll work.(if it makes sense)  So is the us ready for a female president?  I think the us is ready for a tough american president.  What that person has between their legs or on their chest doesn't matter.

He is a good man, that has made a difference in his lifetime. But I really don't think that he is presidential material, of course he would have done better then the one we got. Because the one we got is soooooo bad.

I think 2 shorter terms of 3 years would be wiser.  The present president is clearly a madman - I know the entire country can't be held responsible for his actions (as well as lack of actions in times of crises), but I just cannot comprehend how this could have happened!

We need a President that won't bullsh*t, mislead, or disregard the constitutional rights of the people.  Is doesn't matter what sex or race or religion they happen to be.  I can't think of any good candidates to suggest - male or female but I added a link that might help settle the debate between your Uncles. It is the website of THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN WOMEN AND POLITICS.

President Bush has had more to deal with than most other Presidents. I think he has made mistakes but it has been a tough 6 years. I don't think any politician would have done well in this Presidency. I don't think any politician can run our country.I think the people who are capable of leading this country aren't even in politics. They are too smart to even want to be involved with the spectacle that we call a government.

Well this is an interesting question!  Although life without Bush might seem like a good idea it just might be better for us to wait for the next Presidential Election to see that come true.  Why do I say that, Cheney.  Do we really want him as a President?  Just wait for the next Election and then we can have one big White House shake-ep without all the blood!

Well, yes and no. It's sad that we don't have a President that is supported more by the people. (regardless of whose fault it is)\n\nBut on the other hand, a healthy democracy has citizens who are highly critical of its politicians. If a President was too popular I think it would be a lot worse.

Bush Jr.'s heart and spirit burns with American patroism, but his cabinet appointment choices have been nothing less than poor; rife with unqualified and inept people.\n\nNot that this problem is isolated with just the White House, but historic and often tragic events during Bush Jr.'s terms have produced glaring clear evidence that other vital government operated offices our National safety depends on are rife with political brown-nosers whose ineptness adds a dangerous ingredient for a recipe of disaster.\n\nBottom line: I pray as Americans, we learn it's not very wise to elect politically empowered family members to become our President.

I'd say some of each.  There are times when I think he's just blundering around, but at other times his actions appear to be highly calculated to further his own agenda at the expense of the America public and the constitution (which makes a president evil in my book).  And I certainly do not trust him or his administration (and I never have).

i know there would some details and such to work out, and it could get a little chaotic, but i've often thought that a president should get auto-booted out of office when his approval rating drops below 50%.  he is after all suppose to elected my a majority of the people and to serve the people.\nmight keep more politicians on track instead of seeing a government office as a way to further their careers and wallet.

Actually we hold job as president too important in my opinion. The president works for us, not the other way around. Bush has been telling the American people what to do and how to think about certain situations and i find this to be completly wrong. Like I mentioned above, the President works for us and he should do what we want. My loyalties belong to this country, not its president.

I think as Americans all we truly want is to be treated fairly, and for the entire world to experience the peace and freedom we take for granted every day. We need a new strong leader that has the ability to convey this message to the world. We as a populace need to realize how the rest of the world views us. We can shrug it off and say we don't care what the rest of the world thinks.... but we really do. We need a new direction. To restore our "soft power", we need to be very careful about who we elect in '08.

I think first we would need a president who could read.\n\nLove and blessings Don
