Why do you become President? That is an excellent question, and only Ron Paul would give me an honest answer of the candidates running for election in 2012. Which is why I think is the problem.
The Presidency is a job, you are the Executive Officer of the National Government of a people and their States that want to be supported and at Liberty to be themselves - not perfect but themselves. I can't remember the last President that took the office as a burden, maybe Truman. He was happy to move on to citizen. I am not saying that the other Presidents weren't or aren't intelligent, hard working, or dishonest. But I do think that as successful people they only become President to become a little more celebrated for their beauty. It is vain and as you look deeper, it is not effective for the nation.
I see what Nixon did, some good stuff, but lots of wrong stuff. Reagan did good stuff, but so much wrong stuff. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, both Bush boys and the current office holder, same.
Can you blame them? Those men can't sing well enough to entertain, act well enough to become the character in the story, so to be the object of worship for the masses without a foundation, they assume the robes of office and the Imperial Presidency. It comes with the fawning empty headed interns, the smart guys that support dumb ideas, and the money from big unions and banks and businesses that want more for themselves, especially government favor. So take your candidate of either political party and ask him what is his reason. The truth.
The only saving of the original idea of America is in the individual goals and lives of the individual people - one of the reasons that self education is better than the government provided one.
