You know of a better way?
Personally I'd like to see a blue collar working guy who barely makes enough to buy gas run for it.

My Grandfather for President!

He served in the Army Post-Korea and worked in a factory for 40 years. He's the perfect average Joe. Heck, his name's even Joe.

Surely the fact that you need god knows how many millions of dollars just to get nominated is an indication of how detached from the average citizen politics has become, I really struggle to see how a multimillionaire can possibly understand the plight of your average middle class family (the majority of voters) in any way shape or form.

Sounds perfect as long as his last name isn't Stalin then it may get a bit sticky.

Why do I need god? what did I miss there?
but your right a millionaire has no clue what goes on down here where I am.

TOG would your granddad even want that job?
I hear its low pay nowdays LOL

That's an important part, but only part of what it takes to be President of the USA.....At least in regards to domestic peace, love and understanding. So much more to being President of this great country than just that.

I am prepared to bet that he would do it because he believes in the role unlike a sizable proportion of the current applicants who see it as a good career move.

Thta's not accurate for McCain! He can retire if he wanted to, he's not doing this as a career move unlike some who are trying to get the position as an intern.

I'd take the job,

Me too, hell I'd be as good as the intern position President at least.

Hey you don't have to argue McCain's qualifications with me I have had a long and lengthy argument with 5.56 that he would have been a better choice than Bush 8 years ago I do like the guy (even met him a couple of times), that being said I would probably back Obama in this election because I think he is the better man for the position at this time.
