Barring public demand, any person who pursues the presidency out of personal ambition must be suffering from a basic genetic defect.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are just some things about being president that are difficult.
It's a hard job to become president.
There's always been that theory that if a candidate can't run a decent campaign, he probably can't run a decent presidency. That might be true, although sadly I must admit that running a brilliant campaign does not translate into running a brilliant White House.
Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.
Very few athletes have the chance to be brought into the White House.
It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
Lots of people fantasize about what it would be like if they were president... Most think they'd be decent and wouldn't be corrupted at all, that they'd remain true to themselves.
It's not easy to have the job of president. It's not easy to run for it. And it's not a job for the feint of heart.
I don't think people realize how life-altering running for president is.
In America any boy may become President, and I suppose it's just one of the risks he takes.
