He may not be eloquent or have the same academic pedigree as past presidents.  But he's certainly no dummy.\n\nAnd history tells us that no matter how smart you are, you may not necessarily be a good and/or effective president (e.g. Woodrow Wilson and Bill Clinton)

He is not trying to impress anyone he is a good ol' boy from Texas and that is just how he dresses. He is who he is and noone can or will change him. That is one of his best qualities. And if you think being President is easy you have a lot to learn.

Several do, actually, many, unfortunatly. Belarus, Kyrgastan, Lybia (to some degree), Syria, Nepal (but should end soon with new elections), Democtaric Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe (debateable, but really President Mugabe rules with an iron hand), Guinea, Gabon (technically not, but has had the same president since indepandence). \nA good website to research more is:\nwww.bbc.co.uk/news and look for "country profiles"

President of the United States.\n\nJust look at our president - he never knows what the people in the office next to him are doing, doesn't know any of the latest trends or hip people, doesn't have time to read any books or magazines and only travels for work.  The only time that he gets to himself is hauling brush on his farm - and even then people are following him around.

nice question... but anyway there's an addiction to power.. you always hear "power and money"\nThe problem is the people in Africa are too weak or brainwashed.. and mostly too poor to bother with who's the president is or what he's doing and all their concern will be to gain their daily bread and feed their families. \nAnd in some countries when the people do try to change their president, they're met by brutal force!\nBut that's not the case in Africa only, it's the same in Asia as well... and in America it could've been the same but luckily the law states that the president should run for presidency only twice. That's why Bush said that the next president may solve the problems of Iraq.

I assume you are European by your spelling so please refer yourself to a comparison between Federal and unitary systems as well as Prime Minister vs. Presidential models.\n\nbest

The ideal Fil president would be someone HONEST!\n\nThere are good presidents and great ones but there was never an HONEST one...\n\nPOLGOV is politics and Governance... \n\nI always tell my students... "IN THE PHILIPPINES THE BEST BUSINESS IS POLITICS... RISK IS HIGH BUT PAYBACK IS GREAT..."\n\nPhilippines is great, Filipinos are good, The president SUCKS!

She is a strong, independent, intelligent woman that would make an excellent president. She is not afraid to stand up for what is right for the people. She would have one of the best advisers in the world in her husband. The last legally elected president and also the most successful in the last 40 years.

That should be defined in the Constitution of that country. It varies from country to country. Some are voted into office, some are appointed, and some are lifetime positions (dictators).

Only natural born citizens can be President.\nI agree with this because someone born here has more reason to defend the US then someone born elsewhere

A dictator with a good  style.

True remark that previous one. Except the Kennedys who where of Irish stock and the Dutch ancestry of Roosevelt, most US presidents are of English descent.
