As for a President's character, I want them to do the "right" thing. The morally right thing -- not the right thing for America. It may sound silly, but I'd much rather people base their decisions on morals rather than nationalism, security, etc. -- even if it meant trouble for the country. Unfortunately, that is not how government is designed to work.

That makes no sense at all. A president is elected to do the right things for Americia. Now if they have good sound morals then that should help them make good strong decisions but making the right choice for this country comes first and I don't think you have to throw morals out the window to do that.
