If I were President of the United States....
Now see, everyone is probably expecting me to unravel some insane plan that would radically change life in the United States. To be honest though, most of my changes would be in uprooting the unconnected members of congress and weeding out the people that fueled by greed and private finances from companies with special interests. I would also really crack down on the general lack of concern for the environment. Honestly, people need to recognize that because we are human we have the power to shape the world and we should work to shape into a place that we want our children and our children's children to love. We should always do our best to make our policies and our choices for the benefit of the next generation, so that they might look back on us with a fondness and know that their parents and grandparents genuinely cared for them and wanted them to inherit a better a world. I just want things to be better. If I were President of the United States, I would work without tire to bring peace and happiness to all of the citizens of not just the United States, but the world. I would work without tire to show all the nations of this Earth that the United States has compassion for all of the people inhabiting this planet and desires to put its efforts in securing love and the pursuit of happiness for all people, but not in policing the world, rather in making larger humanitarian efforts than have been expected or seen in the governments of the past. I should hope that I could work to create a larger global peace for all people, and that the customs and traditions of new United States citizens would be properly respected as they join the nation, and that the plagues of hate, discrimination, and fear be erradicated from the way citizens live.

The government was designed by the people for the people. It should be the job of their leaders to place themselves after the nation in governing it, and it should be their job to no longer value the things that benefit themselves but to look towards doing whatever they can to make their nation greater.
