I am fed up of hearing people blaming the government officials always in almost all social issues and problems. Sometimes they also need us to spare a little cooperation and words of gratitude for their efforts atleast they are still working for the general public, some may not but lets give them the favor of doubt. During election that's the time for us to blame with that we can reflect well on whom to trust. What about you, do you think you can be a good or much better leader than them? How?

Hey Dude! This is a very good topic, although I am against on some politicians because of the killings that they do just to win the election, but that is all only. Actually, you have a point, there, and the question is also good. If i will be asked that question again, i will say yes! I can be a good leader because of my principles and beliefs in life, and to what i believe is right and i know how to do the right things right. That is for me, i don't do not know for others. We all have the capability of being a good leader, being a leader is human's instinct, the only problem is that we have freewill, therefore we have the power to decide whether to be good or bad. In other words, it is up to us or to them if we will do good things or bad things while we are in the position. I hate people who always blame the government and the leaders for the economic problem of a country. They always tend to blame others for their failure, but who is the one who made them fail? Is there someone controlling them to fail? Of course! There is non! We are the only one who are responsible to ourselves and actions. If someone did not finished college and have problems in looking for a job, well then it is not the governments fault. It's their fault, who is the one studying? Is it the government studying for them? Not at all! Ok! now, another what i hate to other people is that they blame the leaders for them being a poor individual or let us say family. Well who elected those people? We are right? And why be poor? Are we working hard? Do we do our part in the society? I guess not! Do they pay their taxes? Some are even cheating on paying taxes, then why blame the government? Do they take care and maintain the roads? why are there floods? Is it because the government wants to have floods? Of course not! It is because of the garbage that is thrown by people outdoors improperly. Now! Whom to blame? And Whose fault is that, those leaders know how to put their garbage in a can! How bout others? People always need to remember that in order for a group or a country to work and successful, we need to cooperate, it's not only the leaders but also us. Can the leaders clean the whole country? Can those leaders give their own money for the whole country? Remember this saying? "Do not think of what the government can give us, but think of what we can do for our country". There are so many people who do rally and everything, but do you think it is really helpful? Instead of doing rally why not work? They will be much more productive and they will have money for that, and in that way they helped the country. Do you get my point? That is all i can share... I hope you understand what i feel and what i am trying to say. I really still do have lots to tell but if i will continue this i guess i will be done here tomorrow. Have a great day my friend! This is a real great topic that should be read by all people especially to those people who do not think! They jsut blame and blame and blame but not THINK! I guess the saying " THINK BEFORE YOU THROW" is very much good for them! have a nice day!

O and addition! If they will be the leader, can they promise to not be a corrupt? even a few cents? I do not think so.... I dare those people who wants to be a leader... I am sure it is easy to say but very hard to do... We are only humans and therefore we commit mistakes, and i am sure being greedy to money, luxury and power is always there especially the temptation for the money! Have a great day!

I honestly don't think that I could be a good leader. There are several reasons that I feel this way. The first and foremost reason that I feel this way is because of the fact that I don't think that I would be able to put up with the stress that would be involved with being a leader. The next reason that I don't feel that I would be a good leader is because of the fact that I am not politically inclined at all, therefore I think dealing with all of the politics involved would be beneficial to me at all.

By being honest. As a matter of fact, if I ever campaigned for a political position, I'd find myself (somewhere down the line) straight out stating, "I am going to eventually lie to you." Which means, of course, that I would never get elected to anything, even though everyone knows politicians lie anyway. Because, well, it's true. What politician doesn't? It's almost like being a liar is a qualification for being a politician. If you weren't one before you became a politician, you'll eventually have to lie about something whether you like it or not.

I would never want to lead this corrupt world. Too much pressure and entirely too difficult. And Obama is doing the best that he can, and you can already see people coming down on him. If you were to be the leader, people would expect you to write the wrongs of this world by yourself
