The_Ideal_President

The Ideal President More than two centuries ago, George Washington was the decreed and uncontested choice for president of the newly founded country. He did not seek the office and was reluctant to accept it. He was uncertain of his ability to discharge the duties that would come upon him and was more than ready to retire to his beloved Mount Vernon after the struggle of the Revolutionary War. But the call of his countrymen was what brought him out of retirement. Nowadays the presidency is no longer the position of honor and part of the system of checks and balances but rather the ultimate position of power to pursue ones own agenda. Take President Bush for example – one of his goals when he stole the election in 2000 was to invade Iraq and throw Saddam Hussein out power. During his reign as President, President Bush has managed to destroy a flourishing economy, turning a $100 billion surplus into a $3 billion deficit as well as putting more people out of work than his father did, making the rich, richer, and the poor much poorer. He has ruined a proud educational system, leaving only the rich children able to get the education person, president, out, iraq, constitution, washington, war, violate, two, turn, system, strong, rich, recognizes, power, position, people, patriot, managed, led, leaving, george, even, bush, billion, away, act, world, work, woman, whether, weapons, vulnerable, vote, very
