Quarter 1, Week 6: Why would anyone want to be president?

Consider the article that we read in class on Monday, "Why would anyone want to be president?" by Dean Obeidallah.  To what extent do you agree with the author that being the president is the worst job in America?  Explain your answer.

I agree because I wouldn't want to take on a job that recieves so much critcism and is always very stressed. The job is extremely diffcult and tiring. I would much rather pursue a career with less pressure and public spotlight.

I'm not sure I would ever want to be President, because no matter what, there will always be a large amount of people that would hate me for no real reason. I know someone that has always hated Bush, because they think that Bush is ugly. I also don't know anyone that would want that much criticism.

I think being the president isn't the worst job in the world but it would be the most stressful. Being a president, you are a pubulic icon all over the world. You have high expectations as the president from the citizens. If the president makes one little mistake, the public is out to judge first and make really bad comments on like saying that the nation is ruined because of the president. No matter what he does, there will always be people who criticise his decision.
