So you are saying compassion and integrity are not prerequisites for for the biggest leadership position on the planet?
What direction are you hoping this planet to go in exactly?

America has 350 million people. You don't have anyone with those two qualities?

Please don't argue with me. That is hardly what I implied.

I am not arguing with you whatsoever. I asked you a question after YOU disagreed with ME when I placed a high value on integrity and compassion with regards to a leadership position at the level of POTUS.

Okay. I can see we are each interpreting the flow of conversation differently.

So what you are saying is that you don't think a celebrity can get the job done? Not that compassion and integrity are not important?

It takes much more than just compassion and integrity. That is my opinion.
Definately two good traits but not enough.
Oprah would be the last person I would want to see running for president and she should stick to television. Nothing against her at all and have watced many Oprah shows but not for Commander in Chief. No.

I want more than a feel good fuzzy wuzzy person for POTUS. Having compassion and integrity is nice but not enough to lead the most powerful country in the world. JMO
Compassion is good, but integrity is more important, IMO. However, along with compassion and integrity, our President should also have brains and understand how the system works without being a part of it. He should also have a lot of money so he won't be tempted to feather his own nest through his position of power.
:cow:
The president should also not have a son-in-law that's one billion dollars in debt and has a role of senior adviser to the president. The wall - think about it.

What I said about compassion and integrity was by no means meant to be an exhaustive list of qualities I would like to see in a leader. However, they are essential. They are the foundation from which a good leader builds upon. The current POTUS couldn't spell compassion or integrity. Also, from my experience those two qualities are a rarity in any career politician type, at least at that level, as I know there are some good solid people who work in politics at the lower/local levels.
It seems to be the manipulative psychopaths who rise to the top these days.
There are only two ways to influence human behaviour as a leader. You can either manipulate or you can inspire. You do not want another manipulator.

Ive always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not, Winfrey told InStyle magazine. And so its not something that interests me. I dont have the DNA for it. ...
