I don't think being a leader of a country is a very good gig. Generally the pay is quite a bit lower than if you were a CEO or CFO of medium to large company (or publicly traded company).The job lacks longevity. You have to run for election every handful of years, so your under constant thread of being terminated. Everyone blames you for everything, you can't make people happy, you probably won't even be able to get 50% of people to be happy.Anything stupid you've done in your life will most likely see the light of day, then get dragged out publicly.If your an American president there's only so much you can do without the support of Congress. Congress is in charge of the purse, and also has the power to override a veto. A president can't introduce law, congress does. If there's big things you want to do you need to get it passed through two dysfunctional arms of the US government. Making it really hard to get much done.I don't think famous people (or most of them) would want to be president. It's like being famous, but everyone blames you for everything bad

I don’t think it matters. This election is about Trump or no Trump. Biden could have been replaced by a brick wall and the results would probably be the same.mrussel1 said:So we're at the end now. How do you guys grade Biden and his campaign? I give him strong grades. He was good in both debates, no major gaffes, stayed focused on a positive message, didn't get into the mud. The commercials I get here in Virginia are excellent, particularly one i saw the other night with all the generals supporting him.
I feel like the campaign did its job. The money was raised, I was contacted by Biden, Warner, and Spanberger multiple times. Now it's up to the people.0 -

Joe Blundo | So to Speak: A guide to chilling out this Election Day
Joe BlundoSpecial To The Columbus Dispatch
So much stress, so much tension, so much riding on the outcome.
How are we going to get through Election Day on Tuesday without wallowing in anxiety? What we need is a Helpful Guide to Managing Electoral Anxiety.
Until someone writes a helpful one, I’ll offer my own version. Here are suggested relaxation techniques. (And if you haven’t voted yet, please do before relaxing.)
Nature
Immerse yourself in the natural world.
Find a meadow, lie on your back and stare up at the clouds, as you did when you were a child. See the shapes as they drift by. Look, there’s a sheep. How peaceful, how soothing, how emblematic of voters blindly following the wrong candidate.
If you feel an urge to spit at the cloud, remember that you’re lying on your back. It will end badly.
Get up and go look at a tree to take your mind off the cloud. When the tree brings to mind wooden-headed partisans, move on to something else. Repeat until you’ve exhausted the entire natural world and yourself.
Mindfulness
Sit comfortably, dispel all fears about the future and focus on the now.
Well, maybe not this now. I mean who wants to dwell on stress-soaked Nov. 3, 2020?
So pick a different now. Let’s say Nov. 3, 2120, when whatever happens today will be but a footnote in history. If we’re lucky.
If we’re unlucky, it could be more than a footnote. It could be entire books, plus many movies, more than a few doctoral dissertations, some recurring historical re-enactments and at least a few solemn services of remembrance.
You know what? Never mind the mindfulness.
Movement
Perhaps a gentle session of yoga will relax you.
No? You need more strenuous activity to dispel the tension in your body? Try running, then. Still too laid-back? Pole-vaulting. More, you say? Kickboxing. Still not enough? Bull-riding.
Need even more? Pole-vault onto the back of a bull and ride it to kickboxing practice while doing yoga poses. It will either take your mind off the election or kill you. Either way, you're free of electoral stress.
Breathing
Yes, it can seem a little strange to focus on breathing at a time when there is a deadly respiratory virus in the air and you’re inhaling through a homemade mask made from three layers of discarded T-shirt. But try it anyway.
Take a long, deep breath and hold it, as you’ve been doing all day anyway while monitoring exit-poll results. Then release it, imagining your exhaled carbon dioxide drifting into the atmosphere where it mixes with all the other heat-trapping carbon that threatens to ...
Ah, forget it. Just put your breathing on autopilot and go watch cable news. You know you want to.

To an extent, it is a referendum on Trump, but I still think Obama would beat Trump and Gore would not. I’d say the campaign is a B. He did a good job laying out plans, but I honestly think he should have gotten in the mud more and brought up more of Trump’s mobbed-up past and his family’s profiteering.mace1229 said:
