The job of President is not hard at all. It is a series of policy decision choices along the lines of vanilla v. chocolate. There are no right answers acceptable to all. There is no super smart Solomonic solution. It all depends on how you see the world. Different people value different things.
Look at the abortion issue, it has been around for 40 plus years. Tens of thousands of very smart minds have considered it, but there is still much disagreement in large segments of the population.
Or another example, pick one post on the front page of G & O to be stickied. Is there a right answer to that? No (except the Shizzo dick sucking thread when that was still up.)
