The best person for the job is the person who doesn’t want it, but feels an obligation to take it. That’s Fred. Everybody else, especially McCain, really wants it.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy had a theme like this, where anyone who actually wanted to be president was immediately considered unqualified for the job. I agree with the sentiment.
I've had this quote on my freeper profile page for years...
The major problem - one of the major problems, for there are several - one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather or who manages to get people to let them do it to them To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must WANT to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
