NFW. Running for President would be much worse than being President though. I'm not sure I could dumb myself down enough.

One could be idealistic (and naive) and suggest that one would want the job on the basis of a sincere desire to serve one's country in the greatest capacity.
One could be cynical and assert that it is on the basis of an overwhelming ego and thirst for power.
I would assume that one could find a dab of each description in any of the folks who run for the office.
I don't want the job. I lack sufficient altruism, and believe it or not, also lack the necessary ego.
Regards,
D-Ray

I would rather be a ruthless dictator, a real one. Not the imaginary dictator that you THINK Obama is. That way I could show you whining, crybaby rightwing punks what real tyranny is. Trust me, at the end of that you'd be BEGGING to have Obama back.

I just don't have the time! With laundry to do, shopping, dinner to make and keeping track of what the kids are up to, when would I have the time to meet with foreign leaders for tea?
(rolling eyes...lol)

Only as an absolute despot because as Ben Franklin once noted that is exactly what the country , having become so corrupt, now needs.

Barbara,
You would hire 24 administrative secretaries to handle the laundry, shopping and kids, and 72 tzar's to have at tea with you.
Not to forget the makeup artists, coiffures, and wardrobe spe************************ts !
I think you might become accustomed to this lavish lifestyle.
