    it is really hard? George Herbert Walker Bush (Bush Sr.). Bush Sr. was President for 4 years, and took 543 days of vacation time. 543. Five hundred fourty three days of vacation. That’s a year and a half! Out of FOUR! That’s 37% of the time! He was on vacation more than one out of every three days. He got paid for four years of work, but only worked two and a half of them. Put another way, every year, he took more than four months of vacation that looks easy :)

    What I find the most comical is the fact that a 16 year old from Peru has any sort of say about it ... Now That is just fucking funny!

    well andrexote, ask this question to roosevelt who served for 4 terms and as soon as he started his 4th one he died, that give you a clue to what the stress might be? Anyways i should have started by saying that it really matters by what the situation or what things are going on in the country, to know how hard the presidents job is. Lets see our current president, while many say that he isnt doing a good job or w/e. Imagine the stress (that he hopefully feels) of the things that have happened throughout his presidency, 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, HUrricane Katrina and its effects. Now regardless of what ignorant rap stars or the public might say, I bet bush felt a harsh sting when things fell apart in major ways, which includes all of the above mentioned with maybe the exception of Afghanistan (correct me if im wrong) So in short i think that having the job as president has many advantages, such as prolonged vacation, but it cant be easy, not with the way this country is in constant turmoil and disagreement note: i didnt spell check this, uh i was online with a friend...sry

    The US presidency is a very high stress occupation. YOu have to listen to hundreds of rich power hungry corporations and make sure you never step on their toes no matter what. You have to appoint all your college frat buddies to important government jobs (like FEMA) and pray to God every day they don't have to actually do something because they'll totally fuck it up and thousands (possibly millions) of people will die. You have kiss international ass about half of the time. All of the TV and news media outlets will make fun of anything you say or do. Every blunder is replayed for decades. On top of that to actualy want the job means you're a power hungry freak. So that tends to lower the intelligence levels of participants. I'll kind of like "The Truman Show" meets "Bruce Almighty" with a little bit of MadTV thrown in for fun. I think the idea of a President is anti-democratic anyway. We live in an electronic digital age. Every vote can be counted. And the modern Presidentcy has incredible power compared to the one we originally set up in 1776.

    8) yes it's easy to be a U.S. president. Just have your brother as Governer in the state that the determing votes are being recounted.. and being a white male doesn't hurt either

    "Too bad the only people who know how to run a country are driving cabs and cutting hair." I'm of the belief that if something seems to be too easy, you're doing it wrong. The same goes for a high-profile job like the presidency.

    I have the book "How to Rule the World: A Handbook for the Aspiring Dictator" by Andre de Guillaume (informative AND funny!) and found that quote by George Burns in there. It just fit the entire theme of the topic.

    Easy being the president? Hmpf, it takes alot of muscles and intellect to open the cerial box and retrieve the note that says: "Congratulations! You've become americas president!" Just ask bush :xyxthumbs:

    Eh, I imagine there'd be a lot of stress involved.. Plus you got to put up with all the people that don't agree with you/hate you, and the media making a big noize over every slight mistake you make.. comedians constantly taking the piss out of you, etc etc. President? There's a lot more people out there who have a lot more money than him and don't do fuck all to earn it. I hate rich people. -_-
