What qualities or characteristics do you look for in a President?  What kind of person would you like to see?

A good President should be corrupt, credulous, in bed with various special interests, and easy to bribe.  Otherwise he will make his own decisions on how the country should be run, which is a bad thing, considering most of the people we've had in that office.

qualities?? you have to graduate first.. but anyway, i think one of the most important qualities is leadership. that's VERY important.

One would hope the only reason a person would seek the job as president would be because they feel a difference could be made through their service. No, I'm not man enough for the job... but then again too few of the presidents we have elected have been either.

qualifications maybe??\n\nIt's not that anyone should want a man or a woman as a president, we want the best candidate to be president, ... period.

Do you know any transparent people? Why is colour so important? How about an intelligent president? That would be a change.

I certainly think he would have made an interesting President.  He is obviously very intelligent, and believes in a path to help the USA.  I think he speaks his mind too much to be a viable candidate, but I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Self confidence, manners, and class are up there for me. Looks help out identify someone but in the end its who they are as a person. Being open minded but logical and moral are a must.

I myself look for someone with a common outlook on the major things like children, religion, morality.  Traits like honesty, compassion, honor, and respectability.  My husband is not perfect by any means but in the areas where it really counts we are on the same page.

women have different preferences, the next best thing is to eye for someone you like and get to know her if you're interested..as for the general traits...well, i find the personality very appealing if he's able to handle a sincere conversation, with a good sense of humor, confident, firm in his ideals, never pressure you into anything and respects me as a woman, in terms of my opinion and what i like...sexiness, when he's able to flirt with you in a subtle but meaningful manner...

I have met the current president when he was Govenor of TX.\n\nHonestly, I found him to be a very smart person, not just intelligent, but smart (there is a difference).  He has a great sense of humor and is very much a people person.\n\nI think the job he is doing now as president is a very complex one.  Perhaps he would be viewed in a better light had it not been for the 9/11, war in Iraq, the two recent hurricanes, but there is no telling whether anyone else could have done any better (in spite of the Democrats saying they could have).\n\nIf you ever have the chance to meet him, do.  I am sure you will find him fun to be around and very accomodating.\n\nIn addition I have met Reagan and G.H.W. Bush (but he was VP at the time).\n\nIt is an experience you will never forget.

personality and good looks

I don't think there is a BEST quality . . . I think that several qualities combined make a person special.  Specifically, honesty, compassion, sincerity, caring, and a good personality . . . all combined.  Just one doesn't do it!

My criteria begins with an understanding and adherence to the Constitution.  \nAn ability to understand the workings of the political system and the inclination for ethical action.\nA cynic?  Okay, as long my criteria rules, the new President can be a cynic.
