What It Feels Like to be President of the United States of America
Imagine being elected President of the United States.
Running one of the most powerful and influential countries in the world, having all that power, that impact on everybody’s lives (Americans and non), that appeal on the media, on other governments, on any major global events and happenings. It must be one heck of a hard job!
So, let’s do it.
You’re elected President and you walk into the White House, one of the oldest and most fascinating buildings ever existed. History was made right here, right here where you’re walking, right here where Abraham Lincoln, after fighting against vampires (see reference here), abolished slavery and established a unified economy governed by national institutions. You walk amongst your predecessors’ actions, whether great or shameful, and wonder which ones are going to be yours, how you’re going to lead this country, what you can implement immediately and what takes more backs-and-forths with the Parliament, if you’re going to be a people person or a politician.
So you stop right there in the hallway and think. There are a lot of responsibilities to take in, but it all starts on what side you’re on.
