Here are some of my expectations of a President of the United States (in no particular order). I expect a President to –
1) – consider herself/himself a servant/employee rather than a master/ boss.
2) – be more concerned about the welfare of others than himself/herself.
3) – have the humility to work in the trenches alongside the poor, homeless, and disenfranchised.
4) – value education and learning for himself/herself and others.
5) – have a reputation for honesty and fairness with others.
6) – respect the lives of the people he/she represents.
7) – take the responsibilities of President seriously.
8) – be committed to making the world a better place.

Hmmm. Sounds like you just described Barack Obama. My criteria starts with your no. 1 as well. They seem to forget that they’re supposed to work for US!
Right? I am so ready for a new one.
Yes, ma’am. 👍🏻
Unfortch the ruling elite have never given a toss about the fine objectives you’ve mentioned. If one reads beyond received history (I’m a history nerd), one will find that the people who rise to these positions are usually the worst types of people; or they are manipulated by the entrenched power brokers.
Sigh …
Hope springs eternal. 🙂 (IHistory nerd here, too – got my degree in it.)
Agreed! 😊
