What do you most want from the next president?

[BurtWorm]

And do you think you can realistically expect it?

1. Be a responsible leader... for the *people*

Not a lying shill for the monied, crony corporate interests that we're stuck with now.

I voted 'Other'.

4. Who best fits the bill?

12. Hi gr8scott88!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

5. other all

all of the above!

[Starpass]

6. UI said "dem agenda" because I think it would include

a lot of the rest on the list: i.e., like it would include trying to make friends with the world again!!!

[grannylib]

7. Respect instead of trash the Constitution that a president...

swears to "Preserve, protect and defend..."
What a joke in this misadministration...they have totally trashed our civil liberties...

[BurtWorm]

8. That's an excellent thing to want in a president.

I wish I had thought of that while making the list.

9. Honesty

I can handle a President who does not share my (political) ideals. What I can not accept are the continuous lies and the deception of the general public.
If the truth is not good enough, then they already know they are doing the wrong thing. I want a President to be true to his own ideals and not afraid to speak his mind.

You would think that was not a lot to ask for, eh?

10. Add to my second option vote

Repeal the mis-named Patriot Act.

[truthspeaker]

11. voted #2, but #3 was a close second

On domestic issues, I'd like to see pollution laws enforced, an actual plan for energy production, and white collar crime prosecuted.
