If You Were President.

To the best of my knowledge, none of us here are qualified to hold the office of Chief Executive for any extended period of time. But perhaps for a day, a week, a or even a month, we could get something done.

What one or two things would you immediately "jump on" to change or laws you would enact? I almost want to make the only exception to this discussion, the war in Iraq. Simply because it's already being discussed ad nauseam.

Now think about the possible pros and cons, because everyone has great ideas when it comes to change, but in the context of politics and all eyes on you and only you, would you still make that same decision?

I don't know, but I think I am qualified to be president. It's a management job though you are leading an entire nation. You put together a great team with experts on different subjects, have them advice you, and approve or disapprove proposals by your aids. The president just has to be a ethical and a critical thinker.

If I were president for a day I'd kill the abomination that is the Patriot Act and sign the Kyoto Treaty. And yes, I would make the decision every time.
