Does anyone ever wonder at why that dream kind of died for nearly every single kid who used to dream of being president. Maybe kids still do, but you'd think it becomes obvious at an early age that being president must suck no matter what the pay with the way people treat other people.

I actually never had the desire to be President when I was little (I'm 19 now). *shrugs* I always wanted to be a firefighter!

On the topic though: I agree. It'd be like a kid wishing that he got picked on in school by about half the school body. Just no glamour there

I want to be Hegemon of Earth...

I think little kids think the president is the richest person in the world or something... At least that's what I have always thought they think.

I always wanted to be an unstoppable dictator...

Growing up, I wanted to be a pirate.

Please don't.

I'd like to be a politician but I lack all the qualities...
You see i'm nice to people and listen to their problems and help others.
This is why I work at Customer Service in a respectable grocery market.
Definatly not politician material.

heheh:D

Because children no longer see idealistic qualities in our presidents like they did FDR.

Heh, I wanted to be a astronaunt when I was a little. Fat chance that'll happen, lol.

I never wanted to be president, still don't.

I wish you luck.

No really, I do.

I wanted to be a jet fighter pilot (Top Gun was one of my favorite movies).

Wow someone's bitter tonight.

I'm just kidding, goon.

And just so you know, the Ender/Bean series are some of my favorite books.

heh.

The following is completely off topic, but I'd like to rant briefly:

I was watching a debate between Christine Gregoire (d) and Dino Rossi (r), running for Governor of Washington State, and at one point, there was question about the two candidates stances on abortion. Gregoire is "pro choice" while Rossi is opposed to all forms of abortion. Rossi was asked how he was coping with the fact that his stance could lose him a lot of votes. He responded by saying that that was how he beleived, and if he didn't make it as Governor due to not compromising his beliefs than he didn't want to be Governor. I applaud him for that... Then Gregoire responded with some commentary on the woman's "right" to choose. The debate moved on, and then later the two canditates were asked about their religious beliefs (Rossi's Catholic, not sure what Gregoire is). Gregiore made some comment about how she saw it as her job to "protect the vulnerable" What this has to do with her religion I have no idea, but I found it to be incredibly inconsistant of her to want to protect the vulnerable and yet be pro-abortion. Who's more vulnerable than an unborn child?

Anyway... back on topic... Just wanted to point out how politicians like to spew out nonsense.

Well in that case... <3 Vinny. Damn you combining FF7 and Ender into one persona, my 2 most favourite things.

Yes, I am quite the conglomeration of favorite things.

And um, I <3 you for, uh... <3ing me.

Dictator > President

Well, if the world falls apart in the coming years, this position might be available to me.

Hmm when i was really wee (like 4) i can honestly remember saying i wanted to be a power ranger lol. Then it was a policeman

Please go away.

I never wanted to be a President/Prime Minister. Even with someone like Hawke to look up to haha...

My list was:
Fighter Pilot
Motorbike racer
Ambulance driver

I remember my teacher felt it necessary to warn my mum before I killed myself in some speed-involved activity.

Mine was pilot, small engine mechanic, and computer programmer

I would never want to be a politician. Unless I was dictator. Then the world would be a better place.

Meterorologist. I don't know why.

President? No... computer games tester? Oh... wait a second...

I wanted to be either King Kong or a refrigerator. Seriously, when I was like 4.

Why can my dreams never come true???

If I had a spell to do so, I'd make your second dream come true for, say, $20us.

Why would you want to become a refrigerator? I used to want to be the president when I was little. As a kid, I used to thought that the president had alot of power.

I still wouldnt mind being the Personal Advisor to, but not the President. I'm not good at getting people to like me because they're all dumber than me.

I could've been a surgeon, I like TAKING THINGS APART
I could've been a lawyer, but I just had too much heart
I could have been in politics, 'cause I've always been a big spender
An' me, I could'a been.. a contender

Come on then. Where's it from, eh?

*BANG* *BANG*

Problem sorted.

MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND

I still wanna be a power ranger ;-;

But one of the first 5. Not the new nancy boys.

The only massassian i would ever sleep wi-... er, vote for is Kedri.

I at one time thought that I wanted to be president, to grap hold of power and become the dictator of the world, but when I was 5, I learned that it would be much easier to attempt so from the position of CEO of a major multi-national corporation.

I don't want to be president, but I do vote for myself and plan to run for presidency after I am 35.

Have no friken idea what i want to be, never did either, it's sad.

I wanted to be one of these guys.
