Presidentt

I agree with the article. i dont know why anyone would want to be president. Us, as U.S. citizens, need someone to look for for answers and for someone to blame when things go bad. The president is pretty much a scapegoat for us, sadly. Also with being the president, half of the people you govern hate you while the other half love you. You cannot please everyone and thats a tough place to be in, especially when the whole world is judging you on how you please the people of your country. They do not get paid nearly enough for that job nor the recognition they should. That is one job i never want to try and tackle.. ever.

i agree with Janelle when she said that being the president is a terrible job because i think just that fact that no matter how many people like you, you probably will just as much people who hate you. Also when something happens including foreign countrys a lot of people look at you to send troops over there like iraq, but when you do that there are people who are protesting you to bring them back home. No matter what you do your always going to be on somebodys to get list, its just a very difficult job to get, and even harder to do.

I agree with Janelle because I know that I would never want to be President. Also, Danny said even when there's so many people that like and agree with what you're doing, there's always that many that are against you. The President is never going to do something that intentionally hurts our country, but he can't fix all of our problems all at once either. The President is our public figure, so all problems are always forwarded back to him. This is what needs to stop. There's many other people that influence his decisions as well. But so many Americans are stubborn and greedy, so being the President is a job that is being pushed away because it's so stressful.
