What Do You Want In A President?

29 March 2004

Forget your party loyalties for a moment. Nevermind the noise level of the media and the political party spokespeople. Disregard the nastiness of current events for just a minute.

Think about what you want in a President. Here’s an example:

  • Character and integrity.
  • A work history that shows measurable results.
  • Specific plans on each national issue.
  • A desire to shrink government appropriately.
  • An ability to communicate his/her view of the role of government.
  • An ability to assemble the right team.
  • Effective and frequent communication.
  • A reputation for consistency and firm resolve.

What do you want? What really matters? Is it always as simple as, ”I want a Democrat or Republican?” Have political parties lost their relevance?
