Job Description: President of the U.S.A.

So you think your job is tough?

Be honest. Do you think you have a tough job? Does it deserve more compensation? Most people would probably say "yes." All of us often go home feeling drained and wondering if another calling would be a solution.

Consider this: You are the leader of a country - the bigger and more powerful the country, the tougher the job. You could be Prime Minister, President, Premier, King, Queen, or even dictator anywhere. Do your typical days involve any of these events?

• Disasters: Some 50 tornadoes destroyed vast swaths of land, property, and lives in many states. Every community wants you to visit, sympathize, and promise federal aid. Some were bad mouthing you politically yesterday.
• Two days later an entire town is destroyed in a fire or completely submerged in several feet of water. More funds and labour are required.
• A Chinese balloon is slowly tracking across the country. Should you give the order to shoot it down?
• Every reporter you can name wants you to comment on Trump's indictment. You want to but resist.
• Similarly the same reporters want to know if you are concerned about your own health holding out for another term.
• Putin has just committed more atrocities in Ukraine and you need more funding approved to give Ukraine weapons.
• The Senate is threatening to get your son and prove you did him favors while you were V.P.
• You wake up to discover that secure documents have been found in your remote offices and residences. You know nothing about it. Please comment.
• China is threatening to invade Taiwan. What are you going to do Mr. President? What is your plan?
• North Korea is launching more rockets capable of carrying nuclear weapons to America. Should you strike first Sir?
• The Republicans are threatening to shut down the country over debt limit increases. You swear you won't let them.
• The military is planning a top secret mission like the one to take out Bin Laden. You have to be on top of it in case the order to GO is required.
• The State of the Nation speech is coming up fast.
• Your grandkids are having birthdays, graduations etc. or just want you to visit.
• Your wife and First Lady wants to talk to you one on one about something serious going on in her life.
• One wrong decision in your four or eight years could destroy the entire world. It could come in the middle of the night.

Think you could handle it and a lot more? I know I couldn't. If you have a job smile and be grateful for it!
