If you were president, what would be your strong point?

[BurtWorm]

I have to think about this myself, but if you know how to answer, by all means start without me.

[mapster]

1. Um, compared to Shrimpy?

I actually have a functioning brain.

[Ashes]

2. Fantasy: My name is President Kucinich

and I just used a thousand executive orders to get rid of everything that happened for the previous four years.

[mhr]

3. Fair and Egalitarian

eom

[1monster]

4. Well, let's see...

I'm idealistic, but pragmatic. I believe "There but for the grace of
God (fate, fortune, other)go I" is valid and therefore that we as a nation as well as we as individuals must make sure that everyone in this country has adequate housing, food, medical care, and education, not just minimum standards.

I believe that hard work as well as smart work should be well rewarded, but also that those who benefit the most should give back the most.

I would learn as much as I could from anyone who could help in the job. I would gather as much information as possible from as many differert sources as possible before making decisions...

There's more, but it's hard typing with a metal splint on my left index finger. Whacked my finger instead of an nail last week and I think I cracked the bone. :-( And darn if almost every word doesn't have a R,T,F,G,V, or BV in it!!!!

[BurtWorm]

5. What Lincolnesque determination!

[1monster]

11. yeah, and that's another

quality that would make me a good Prez!

1monster for President

I couldn't be worse than *!

:D :+ :7 B-) ;) }( :evilgrin: :hi: :puffpiece:

[Bush Loather]

6. The ability to compromise without selling out.

n/t

[KamaAina]

7. A wide range of knowledge about the issues

ranging from health care and poverty to pretzel-eating and Segway-riding.

Let's see Bush* top THAT! :evilgrin:

[HawkerHurricane]

8. My sense of humor.

Story:
When walking into a cabinet meeting, Abe Lincoln told a very bad joke (said joke is unrecorded), and was brought to task by the Sec. of War: how can you laugh and tell jokes when so many are dying?
Lincoln's response: I must laugh because if I didn't laugh, I'd cry, and the President cannot be seen crying, that is all.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

9. I'm not a Bush, a shrub, OR a republican!

[baldguy]

10. My charasmatic demeanor!

(burp) excuse me.

[Toby109]

12. My decision-making abilities

No wait...

(Well somebody had to.)

[LewisJackson]

13. Same thing as now

My chess.

CHESS JOCKS!!!! WHOOOO!!!!!

[foxglove1]

14. I'd openly admit that I like BJ's under the desk

A well oiled machine is a well oiled machine ;-)

Gawd, I miss the Big Dog!

Sue

[The Lone Liberal]

15. I would be able to catch cannonballs with my stomach

That is pretty strong and entertaining. I would go around to county fairs, making speeches about things I had no intention of doing and catching cannonballs with stomach.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I'd like to see that.

What county fairs in Illinois do you plan to visit soon?

[Ein]

17. "You're either with us...." or we have a minor disagreement.

thats all I got, then I'd no doubt plunge the country into another depression in a few months :(

[Shanty Oilish]

18. The ability to delegate

I'm good at getting other people to do stuff.

And very motivated.

[Ramsey]

19. My brutal honesty

Actually, that's why I would never get elected president or to any office for that matter. I say exactly what I think whether other people like it or not.

[BurtWorm]

20. I think I have shown that my strongest point is delegation

Since I let so many of you answer first.

I am also a pretty good brainstormer. I love brainstorming with other people. So if a problem came across my desk, I would approach it from several different angles, and invite as many different angles from other people--perhaps by starting a thread right here at DU--and forge a consensus around the strongest solution.

[BiggJawn]

21. I wouldn't have to destroy other nations..

To try and convince myself that my "plumbing" still worked...

[patkelly]

22. My Name is NOT Geogre W Bush

My Name is NOT Geogre W Bush

[Coffee Coyote]

23. My coyote face nt

[mvd]

24. I'd have my own convictions, instead of being

swayed by lobbyists.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. I know a lot about world affairs and history

so I could talk to world leaders without sounding like...Bush Boy.

[LibertyorDeath]

26. I would be highly Impeachable

[MoonGod]

27. The parties

Best fucking parties the White House has ever seen, and you're all invited!

Oh, and the "Western White House"? I'm thinking beach.
