Today in Mr. Wickersham's elective class, "The Greatest Presidential Elections since 1860", we discussed what qualities we personally thought made a good president. We talked about what key characteristics we would look for if we were to vote, and what makes one candidate stand out from the others. As a class we made a list of what qualities were the most important to us. The list included: honesty, loyalty, being rich, handling pressured situations well, qualified, intelligent/savvy, patriotic, experienced, good looking, selfless, and has "no skeletons" in his/her closet. We then rated these qualities to find out which one is the most important to us and which one is the least important to us.
My number one quality was loyalty because I think that if you can't trust your president, and count on him staying true to the country and all the people in it then you are left with nothing. My least important quality was good looks. Although, I don't think that a lot of emphasis should be placed upon good looks, I do know that we are all human and probably not one of us could say that looks don't matter at all. But compared to all of the other qualities that I mentioned, I think good looks should come last. What's your opinion on this subject? Would you rate your qualities the same way that I did, or would yours be completely different?
