What do you look for in a presidency and why? Do you support your decisions for the 4 or 5 choices you have made when voting for the president?

One Who Will Uphold The Presidential Oath of Office... ;)

The oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

one who is against real terrorism, and doesn't just "appear" to be fighting it for PR reasons (Bush doesn't care about the happenings in Ireland at all)

What I would look for is never there. True men and women of intelligence and real integrity would never want to be a politican. Therefore, we always get second best.

Have you ever noticed that the vast majority of politicans are attorneys.

Well, yeah, obviously.

Have you noticed that the vast majority of hospital adminstrators are doctors.

It makes perfect sense that those that write law would be trained in law.

As a foreigner, I primarily look for international leadership in an american president. Secondary, Economy@home. US economy influences the whole world.

But I do have more than 4 or 5 "choices" to make before deciding who I'd support - if I had a vote. I think your President George W. Bush does a great job in the international arena, except in the environmental issues. I won't comment on his domestic agenda, except that I'm kind of disappointed that the deficit isn't reduced yet.

Kind of difficult to reduce a deficit when you are finishing your daddy's war er a war on terrorism. His domestic agenda is pretty much none existent, except when a crisis arises.

Get the gov't the hell outta the way. Massive regulation doesn't drive costs down.

What regulation?? This isn't Canada you know?

The only real regulation is that a public hospistal can not refuse to treat someone based on their ability to pay. Neither HIPPAA or CORBA cover what a hospital can charge.

Ohhh yes the regulation of drugs.. Thank (insert deity here) for that!!

Great! Deregulated medicine, for safety reasons I'd rather see a Haitian Voodoo doctor (much better beside manner as well, but maybe the same god complex).

The blame for the unilateral war costs is the international community who doesn't support the war(s). Neither by moral support, war efforts nor economically. It's a shame that USA have to take the burden almost alone.

Health care is deeply regulated here.

The only real regulation is that a public hospistal can not refuse to treat someone based on their ability to pay. Neither HIPPAA or CORBA cover what a hospital can charge.

There are plenty of costs right there.

Ohhh yes the regulation of drugs.. Thank (insert deity here) for that!!

Ever notice that the gov't doesn't really regulate cell phones or bread, yet the poorest of the poor can usually afford those things.

Odd that they cannot afford things that could prolong their lives.
