10 Reasons Why It Sucks To Be President

I hope you like my answers lol.

Be cause most of them are true.

10 Reasons Why It Sucks to Be President

1. You have no freedom. The most powerful person in the world. Please. How can you be powerful when you have no freedom. Imagine having secret service agents following you around for the rest of your life. You can't even go to the bathroom without six people checking to make sure everything's okay.
2. The pressure is enormous. Just think about all the whining you do about your job. Oh the stress. All the pressure. I've got to get on a plane and negotiate a contract. Um ... that's like a three year-old having to decide what color crayon to use for the clown's hat in a coloring book compared to being president.
3. Everyone in the country gets to approve or disapprove of you. Don't like being micromanaged? Everybody and his brother has an opinion of what you should be doing. Talk about job scrutiny. Sheesh. You've got to have such thick skin I don't know how you can ever be genuine again after all that. I mean, walls work both ways, right?
4. Everything you say and do is forever dissected, analyzed, and scrutinized. Can you even imagine not being able to make a mistake, screw up, or even have a single secret? You sneak a cigarette, it's front page news.
5. You spend the rest of your life acting like a human sound bite. Ever been a company spokesperson? I have. It's a real pain having to be on message, on point, controlled, and consistent all the time. Your life becomes one big giant elevator speech. Like your brain is stuck inside an MRI machine. Ahhh!!!
6. Everybody scrutinizes how you dress. When Bill O'Reilly asked about the downside of the job, President Obama said, "I've got a jacket on on Super Bowl Sunday." My thought exactly. What a drag to have to think about how you dress all the time. The way I went to the store the other day, you would have thought I was homeless. Everything was torn.
7. Everybody's got his hand out. Everybody wants something. They want their bill sponsored, their uncle pardoned, or their enemy tagged with a smart bomb. Nobody really likes you for you, but for what you can do for him. And God forbid you actually need something. Everyone would laugh at you. A president with his hand out. What a disgrace.
8. Why be president when you can be vice president. Seriously. No stress, no pressure, piece of cake job. Just stay on message, out of the way, and try not to say or do anything really stupid. Same glory, same everything, except none of the responsibility and you're still set for life.
9. It's lonely at the top. Everybody behaves strangely around you. They don't act like themselves. They're all stiff and laugh at inappropriate times. They treat you as if you're some sort of alien, like E.T. or Mr. Spock or something.
10. You don't get to be just a person anymore. Honestly, I can't imagine anything more constraining than not being able to just be a nobody - to walk down the street and enjoy the sun on my face without having a worry or care in the world - anymore. Can you even imagine what that would be like?

You have no freedom...
Yes, there is some limitations with freedom which comes with the job. People looking to be in top positions are normally goal driven, ambitious, achievers who work hard to get to the top spot.

The pressure is enormous...
Pressure being part of the job.

Everyone in the country gets to approve or disapprove of you...Everything you say and do is forever dissected, analyzed, and scrutinized...
Such achievers have enough self-confidence to believe in their own convictions and what they wish to impart while being aware of how they are being judged, scrutinised and decisions analysed – all part of the job of managing how they communicate.

Everybody's got his hand out...
The public, government and non-government agencies will always have their hands out – but there are processes in place for such approvals and criterias to be met for "handouts", whatever they may be.

It's lonely at the top...
it can be – depends on the individual and who he/she is surrounded by. Key feature is to have a good support structure. Some are lucky enough to have close, trusted supporters (e.g. John Kennedy and his brother Robert), making them a formidable team while being close relative/friend. People in such powerful positions rely heavily upon those people surrounding them to act as advisors, sounding boards and support.

You don't get to be just a person anymore...
It takes an extraordinary person to take on such a position. If their personal life suffers, that is a price they are well aware of as they move into position. Why else would they be there. Those family and friends are also aware of the cost of privacy. Some are strong enough to act as support, others cannot.

You have no freedom...,
People in such power find times to enjoy some privacy and freedom. Not based on our standards but what meets their needs – which is important for them.

People who do not want to be in such an elevated, powerful position can always move aside.

Edward VIII was such a person who after becoming king of the United Kingdom following the death of his father, George V, he ruled less than a year before abdicating the throne in order to marry his lover, Wallis Simpson, thereafter taking the title Duke of Windsor.

Choice is up to the individual. At least we hope it is in the Western Free World as we know it.
