Okay now there has been enough clowns acting as president, don't you think it is time that we all got down to business and get someone in as president that isn't going to act like they are the class clown for the new term. If it was a vote between you and H C well not to hurt your fellings you know where my vote go. So I guess I loose this 10.

No, but it is two late for that. I know he was pinched in 1976 in Maine, and I also know that his record in Texas is not available. He is really a piece of work isn't he. I wish more Americans would wake up to the fact that they have elected a fellon to the presidency.

That's bias on your part.\n\nThe main argument against Bush is his lack of speaking skills.  Since the invention of the radio the President's voice was what could make or break his platform.\n\nHe isn't known for great lines, easy conversational style or anything.\n\nTo be simple, he looks stupid.  Some of his actions are looked as stupid.\n\nWhether you are republican or democrat you cannot deny that he is not a good speaker.\n\nOn that same token you can't deny that he is treated very unfairly sometimes.

i'm voting for Stewart/Colbert in '08!!\n\nafter the mockery of the last few elections, i just might write that in. and as far as who's going to be the next president, there really arent any good candidates yet on either side.

Let me start off I love them both, equally. I was so proud of Stephen Colbert when he spoke so truthfully (hehe) at the White House Correspondants Dinner. If you haven't seen footage of that you should, it's priceless. Now John Stewart, he is great too. I think lately he has gotten a little less funny but he still is awesome. Sorry I can't pick a favorite. When i'm not getting a lot of laughs from one guy I change to the other.

Do you mean the United States of America, if so, that is a country in North America, which is a continent. There are no countries in the USA,they are called States and the President of the USA is George W. Bush and BTW, there are 50 states in the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not every country has a president, so not sure what you're trying to ask!

Bill Clinton is not eligible because the twenty-second amendment  to the US Constitution limits the President to two terms.  He is barred from the VP spot, because he could not ascend to the Presidency if that were necessary.

The President neither has the power to change nor make laws. That is the job of Congress to make and change laws, the Supreme Court can eliminate laws (deem them unconstitutional).\n\nBut to answer your question, I would be a better speaker than the current President.  He is a poor orator.

Im suprised he hasn´t changed the constitution yet, he´s changed it on most things to rob the public of thier freedoms.\n\nDon´t worry some other puppet will be put in his place, it doesn´t matter who wins the election its all fixed anyway.

He is not there to be "funny" unfortunately. And what he is there to do, he has screwed up well beyond repair. The funniest thing about him though is his struggle to get simple words formed into a sentence. For my fellow Americans who think Clinton was the biggest joke, you must admit that besides getting a extra marital piece on the side (which they all do anyway) the country was far better off.

As a person who voted for Bush both times and do not regret it, I still have to be honest and say the Bush is in no way qualified as a Supreme Court Justice.  Some would argue he isn't qualified to be President, but he is head and shoulders above Al Gore, and head, shoulders, torso, hips and a couple of legs above John Kerry.  He was the best choice of the three

Our current president claims "executive privelege" over everything.  He has NOT ONCE excercised his veto power, the first president in history to never veto a single tiny bill from Congress.  His answer is to instead is to sign a congressional bill into law and then immediately write a signing statement saying how the law does not apply to him, or simply issue an executive order reversing whatever the bill said when it doesn't suit him.  If that isn't unchecked power, I don't know what is.  His cronies have also been instrumental in passing laws dismantling the bill of rights, it is just now starting that federal judges are getting such cases challenged, but the media isn't reporting the rulings (Scalia totally grilled the Bush administration, the very people that appointed him).

Because anyone with common sense & ANY awarness whatsoever realizes he is absolutely the WORST president ever "selected."  It's disgusting that we are so politically ignorant as a nation that someone like him could be choosen for the highest office in the country. I say if the military wants to take down the #1 terrorists on Earth they should start with him. They are in fact sworn to "uphold & defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC." All I can say is it is no coincidence that according to a study 25% of Americans have a mental disorder & that is about where his approval ratings sit.......
