I can't think of a single person who's inspiring and optimistic enough.

I vote Oprah! She is a wonderful role model for African Americans. Heck, she is a wonderful role model for anyone!

A good President should be corrupt, credulous, in bed with various special interests, and easy to bribe.  Otherwise he will make his own decisions on how the country should be run, which is a bad thing, considering most of the people we've had in that office.

Yes, or almost.  Colin Powell seems pretty smart, so does Rice.  People are already talking about Hillary (whom I don't want to see elected because spouses tend to be able hold considerable leverage over their significant others, she's too liberal for my tastes, I don't remember her before her husband became president, and she seems to be making political moves, not true idealogical shifts, simply to attract voters.  I don't like that.)

Oprah would make a better president because she doesn't have any enemies except the Texas beef industry.

Yes, I believe there will be a black president before there will ever be a woman president. I know this is a loaded question, but many nations do not like dealing with women. Those nations would probably be in the Middle East. They would try to undermine the woman alot more than a black male. However, I would vote for Condi Rice. Both, black and female. She is smart and has the political clout to pull it off, I believe. Condi in '08!!!

Though Lincoln, Jefferson, and Reagan are good choices, I think you'd have to give it to Washington because he lead the country in its infancy and he had nothing to go on.  He basically had to make it up as he went along.  He had no history to fall back on, and no standards to comfort him.

Eleanor Roosevelt. She was intelligent and she would have been a good president herself, too.

Definitely.  It's only a matter of time before that becomes common.  Like any first though she will have to be above and beyond the capabilities of the other candidates.  I think that's going to make a good difference though and it would help the country a lot.  Hillary Clinton I think would be a bad choice as the first woman president because she's already too well known and the media hype would drown out anything she does.

Colin Powell, Martin Luther King Jr., George Bush.... The list could go on. Abe Lincoln is a good one.

I hope we have a woman President soon. She'll probably won't have the just-nuke-them attidute. I bet she'll concentrate more on the important topics- health care, education, the economy, social security, etc. I'm not going to name anyone but i'd say in this upcoming election or the next. It will probably be someone that has already held several office. Not the wife of a politician or Oprah. I think what most people don't realize when they say Oprah for President is that she's never held any political office before. How can you become President w/out even doing this? I would love to have Oprah be a senator or a governer and then run for office. I think she'll do a teriffic job at it.

there were many good presidents and many not soo good presidents.  since i dont know my history well enough to answer this i will just guess at a few that i think were good.  george w.  and i mean WASHINGTON and not bush.  abe lincoln.  Theodore roseavelt.  JKF.  and i'm actually considering William Clinton.  I might be missing a few but like i said it was an educated guess.

definately, Rice.\nThe idea of them running pres and vice is absurd. Not a chance. That would be one messed up presidency.

If you mean _American_ president, I really hope it's an African American woman, somebody non-Caucasian, non-male, non-whatever-previous-presidents-have-been, because it's time to drastically change, wake up the small-minded people, and have a brand new view on how to rule this country!

As my "spiritual leader?"  Of course NOT.\n\nOn the other hand, I have a lot of respect for Oprah.  She's come a long ways and has a good head on her shoulders.

John Stewart, is a shoe in for President, and so is Arnold, if he wasn't an immigrant.  Now Martha Stewart wouldn't make a bad Senator, seeing as she recruites the youth to do her business... XD\nOh, yeah, Oprah Whimphrey wouldn't be a bad candidate for vice president.  Give it up to Marilyn Manson for Secretary of State, and those boys from Pennywise would be prefect for the House.
