He's just a guy.
You're right - anyone can be President. Remember Andrew Jackson & Abe Lincoln? Backwoodsmen with no formal education. The only requirements for President are, you have to be a certain age (I think it's 35), and you have to have been born in the United States. That's all. No prerequisites with state government or the Senate or the House, no requirements for college degrees or doctorates or any of that.
Surely some of you are aware that on September 11, Bush insisted on going back to Washington right away, and the Secret Service wouldn't let him do it. The first thing he wanted to know was if his wife and daughters were safe.
He wanted to go. They wouldn't let him. Then a bunch of people complained about "why didn't he go back to Washington right away."
He carries his own dog.
People aren't always what they seem, and no one can be liked by everyone. But I think a lot of you have the President all wrong. No, I didn't vote for him, but I'm willing to give him a chance.
