I would say that Bush is not the most qualified man for the job; certainly there is better out there. Being governor of Texas, a largely ceremonial position, for 6 years is probably not enough experience to be president. Being the son of a former president helps, but experience isn't hereditary. Broadly speaking, no one wants to run for President because of the meat grinder you have to go through to reach the office. You have reporters and other people looking through the intimate details of your personal life. A lot of people say it's not worth it, the result of this attitude is that you get a field of people running for president that by and large consists of mediocrities. Look at the people running for President now in 2004, you don't see anyone who holds any special organizational talents or anything like that. What you see is the same kind of people running for office year after year proposing the same exact things every time. We need people to run for office that have really done something in life outside of politics. Think someone like Eisenhower, a big thinker who brought to the job other experiences besides running for office. There are a few people out there today, both in the public and private sector, who would make good presidents. But the people running now are all 2nd and 3rd tier candidates, including the current president. It's a shame more people don't step up to the plate.
