The Reality of the Presidency

[Flopper]

My reality of the potus is that it simply isn't as difficult as it's made out to be.

I Have to disagree with you here. There is no job so demanding as the presidency. Americans expect their president to be equal pars CEO, diplomat-in-chief, commander of the armed forces, party leader, and motivational figure. What wears on a president is not the physical or mental activity but the stress.

Ex-presidencies say that presidential decisions always have consequences and you have to live with them. Obama said "In one day I had to deny funds that would mean hundreds of children would probably die of starvation or deploy over a thousand US troops to an Africa country. I agreed to republican legislation that violated an election promise in order get support for what I considered to be more important legislation. I refused to consider a pardon for a death row inmate. Later in the day, I cancelled an anniversary dinner with the wife to attend an emergency meeting with the joint chiefs of staff. And this was not an unusually" day.

Well thanks for admitting you have no idea what presidents do.

I'd bet 75 percent of average citizens could do it.
