definitely, I would see that all citizens of the country is well placed, with a nice home to reside in, good quality education to one and all, food & clothing for one and all, don't you think, if a person is provided all these, then why not that person will not work for the betterment of the whole country, thus the country will be prosperous and each one of the citizens will be employed and hardworking to ensure absolute peace of the country.  A president is the one who will preside over the country for the benefit of one and all and keep up the image of the country to the envy of other countries.

A good leader should make people feel as though they are part of something greater than themselves.  This leader should keep an open ear and make decisions that are in the best interest of the group.  The leader should also know when they are not needed and should stand back when the group is doing well.

I would say, a great president is someone who does something great for the people, such as FDR (New Deal), or those that braved the United States through major wars. Those that caused reform, like Theodore Roosevelt, and those who changed the nation socially, like FDR.\n\nGeorge W. Bush meets none of these standards. He has let a real terrorist get away with attacking the US while waging a campaign against a country that "hurt his daddy". He brushes off Korea as if it DOESN'T have weapons of mass destruction and abandons the people of his own country; Katrina is a well enough example. There isn't a thing I can think of Bush has done correctly, and he is surely nowhere near the presidents I have listed above.

AS TO WHETHER ONE SHOULD VOTE FOR A FEMALE PRESIDENT OR NOT, MY ANSWER IS YES, IF THE CANDIDATE IS ONE THAT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY.  GENDER IS NOT A QUALIFIER FOR THE PRESIDENCY.  ONE WILL BE A GOOD PRESIDENT BASED ON HIS/HER INTELLIGENCE, CHARACTER AND SKILL AT SURROUNDING HIMSELF/HERSELF WITH SKILLED AND KNOWLEDGABLE ADVISORS WHO ARE ALSO OF GOOD CHARACTER.  NARCISSISTIC POWER WORSHIPERS AND PEOPLE WHO WILFULLY VIOLATE THE LAW FOR PROFIT OR THE AQUISITION OF MONEY AND POWER HAVE NO PLACE IN HIGHER GOVERNMENT OR ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT IN MY OPINION.  \n\nSUMMARY:  IF THE PERSON IS A GOOD, DECENT AND INTELLIGENT PERSON, AND YOU FEEL GOOD IN YOUR HEART ABOUT THEM, VOTE FOR THEM.

honesty, kindness and openness... the ability to completely be yourself and if he can be himself that is a total plus.... you have to be able to talk to each other, and fight with each other and forgive each other.  mystery is awesome.... I don't mean he hasn't called for 2 days and his secretary is on leave as well.... i mean spontaneity

Excellent manners, a sense of decency, good character and high intelligence. These things are crucial, with all other factors paling in comparison. Looks will change over the years; a strongly developed sense of ethics won't.

There are many factors that should be considered including the two you mention.  I think integrity is important, but intelligence and statemanship are also important.  I think an ability to heal the great differences that are threatening to tear this country apart and unite us is the single most important characteristic that the next president must bring to the office.  \n\nMoral character has been lacking in the last two presidents.  One had sex in the White House; the other either lied to get us into a war or was fooled and couldn't figure a way to get us out of it later.  Which is worse? You decide.  I have no use for either of 'em.\n\nWe need someone who can unite us.  I see no one I have any faith in with the possible exception of John McCain.  He has all of the qualities I mentioned, plus he would have credibility as a Commander-In-Chief, something else that has been lacking at the White House for a long time.
