Let's Define A Good Presidential Candidate
Dear Guests:
It seems when we address presidential candidates many of us cannot get past the name calling and derogatory remarks. This means we speak little of substantive value, the nations priorities or our vision for the future of this nation. So let's define a good presidential candidate without providing the name of any single individual but rather only focusing on skill sets, education, background, temper and otherwise all the bona fides you deem are necessary for a president to be successful and to represent "we the people" I will forego my list because and this is another suggestion, that we not try and play one up-man-ship (ie this isn't a contest but an attempt to gather people's beliefs in what is required for the most important job on this planet) My hunch is that this is going to be a very short thread. Please prove me wrong Personal Best Regards: |

So You Want to Be President: How's Your Interfaith IQ?
This is a good article above. Respect for the US Constitution and the Office of the Presidency and its revered history would be extremely important to me. A long view of what this President was trying to accomplish during his or her terms of office. Knowledge and acceptance of the limitations placed by the US Constitution and traditions on the Office of the President. Actions and words that could be held up as models for the younger generations of Americans. Respect for education and open access to information. |

Obama gets blamed for the mess that we are in; however, Republicans can try to wash their hands clean, but that dirt will not come off with soap. Given the foolishness on display at the Republicans debate, the soap would be put to better use, if it was directed at their mouths. |

So far the thread participants demonstrate they would rather attack and disparage each other than participate in the question and subject at hand.
Seems to be a pattern for some. My first suggestion is the candidate shall not be a law trained, legal profession, lawyer. Secondly the candidate shall not be a career politician (of the cronyism ilk). The candidate should have a record of accomplishment; actually show measured and quantified accomplished as a direct result of their initiative. A reasonable understanding of business especially accounting and finances. The candidate must be able to demonstrate how well they have performed; promises made VS promises kept. Just for starters. |

How about responding to the intent of the thread instead of bickering with each other or selves (for some).

The person that you described is Mitt Romney. His brief dabble in politics was governor of Mass. If anything, that should be a plus, because he had to deal with Democrats every day. Democrats had a super majority in Mass. There were some days where Romney was the only Republican in the State House. |
