Title: Being the President...
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on January 15, 2016, 10:54:51 AM
Has to be thee worst job in thee entire world. Shitty pay. You spend more $ to get elected, then you do get paid. Most of the general public hates you. You're always being judged. Cameras are always on you. You have to make serious decisions who inflict millions of ppl and you don't get to take advantage of being the top dog in this country (slaying hot chicks!)! No thanks, guys!

has one of the best pensions in the world, though.  Also, sets your kids up for a pretty good life.

Also, you can go in relatively broke and be rich AF within 6 months of being done. 

Free office, staff, and protection for life.  Speaking engagements for like $250k plus travel.  I would def want to be a single term'er, but it sounds doable.

True, but I don't know if that's worth it to me. I want a low profile job, that pays well, and I like to binge/hide on the weekends. I hate always having to be on, you know? Family functions, work, etc. I have a work party tomorrow night and it's putting me in a bad mood. I just wanna binge and watch the chiefs, not talk about what Sally's husband does.  :frown:

Yeah, for the job it is. You should be making millions for that type of stress.

The mills come after the end of the term. 

iirc, I think I read that bush 2 made something like 9mill in the first 6mo after he was out of office off of speaking engagements alone.

 :sdeek: Let's step aside from the $ talk tho. Because there's never been a president who already didn't have it. Everything else would be terrible.

I wouldn't like the loss of anonymity. Even famous athletes for the most part can go be anonymous places. You think anyone recognizes Ben Zobrist around Nashville? Maybe like 1 out of 250 people.

You have a full staff at your call.

Food = amaze
travel = amaze
interesting ppl = amaze

Basically the only things that would suck are the hours, the lack of privacy, and the scrutiny.  However, you have a total secure compound basically where ever you go to keep ppl out of your face if you don't want them there.  You have some of the most intelligent ppl in the country at your beckon call and you can fill up your cabinet with them to advise you on the issues.  You have the best information available to you.  Yeah the decisions would be hard, but you are put in the best position available to make the hard decisions.  I mean, I could reconcile most of that.

I dunno guys, Getting paid $400k to fly a 747 with an entourage to the top golf courses in the world every day seems like a pretty fair deal for reading crap off a teleprompter once per week.

Agreed.  Also, once you know you are getting the gig, have the country pay for a nice home office reno and just "work from home" a bunch.

And you can get plenty of anonymity when you go to your ranch in Texas for a month with no one else around but your detail.

That's not anonymity, that's hiding. Yes you can go out on your private property and hide. I want to go to Papa Keno's and eat without being bothered.

Once your out of office, go to papa kenos and the first time someone bothers you, yell "he's got a gun".  He gets murked, it gets reported, no more ppl in your grill after that.

I'll do it I guess (this is the same response I give every time I'm asked to accept greater and greater positions of crippling professional responsibility). SO FAR SO GOOD!

I'd do it in a heartbeat for what i make now (I'm not even sure what a president has to pay for so that may change, but you get my jist). The major benefit and payday is after your job is done.

Kings and pawns.

Becoming president use to be an end life goal.  It seems now to be a career stepping stone to get a later lucrative gig.  Even being a name candidate is yielding riches.  Watch Obama, in the next few years he will be so rich.
