I would never want to be president, American dream aside (and my general inviability as a liberal woman atheist candidate aside). There is so much that you're supposed to juggle. Like, President Bush is
supposed to have anticipated the Freddie/Fannie crisis back in like 2002? That seems like that's asking so much - to have to understand and anticipate economic machinations so Byzantinely complex that not even
Steven Levitt understands them?
I know a lot of this is dealt with via advisers and delegation. But it still seems like waaay too much for one person to handle.
