No.....I would rather you discuss problems and solutions rather than what you wrote in your original post which was "Why anybody in their right mind would actually aspire to be the leader of this #%&*&%# country, is beyond any level of my comprehension." I object to the symbolic curse words in front of the word "country" (though I will defend your right to use them). But the political process we are going through now (as painful as it is at times) is an attempt at fixing some of the problems you mentioned that we are all very well aware of. But I think you answered your own question. Poor student rankings in math and science, vanishing middle class, tax inequities, world hunger and poverty.........trying to fix these problems are exactly the reasons that good people would want to be President.
