Honestly? At this time, I would settle for a president who, when I hear them speak, convinces me that they have a higher reading level than I do.

In an ideal world? Someone who, when you ask them a question, actually answers it. Honestly. Someone who (and it frightens me a bit that I have to say this) doesn't want the country to move toward a theocracy. Someone who will admit when they've made a mistake and actually attempt to rectify it. Someone who values civil liberties and privacy as much as I do. Someone who believes the government should operate as completely transparent entity, except temporarily when there is a clear and immediate danger in doing so. Someone who believes that we may just be over extending ourselves in the world and that we need to pull back a bit and focus on home for a while.
