Would You Rather...

Ok... question time...

Would you rather be a famous actor/athlete or president of the United States? Both have their pluses and minuses right?

I got to thinking about it though, and figured I'd rather take the less responsible route and be a famous athlete/actor. Sure, you're privacy is completely gone (which basically happens when you're president too right), but you don't have all the pressure of fixing the country. You only have to 'work' during the season of your sport, or while you shoot your movie, so there's plenty of vacation time, which is nice.

On the other hand, if you were president, then you could actually do something with your life. You could actually fix (or attempt to fix) the problems we face today. But you don't really get to take a day off for the next four/eight years, which would suck...

And if you're president, you're only making like $300k a year, but chance are if you're an athlete/actor you're going to be making 10 or 100x more than that! But it's not like you have travel costs or rent if you're president.

Oh and if you're an actor/athlete and fool around with someone who works for you no one cares. If you're the president and do that, you lose your job...

famous athlete/actor. no question. you're in shape - and you have people that make sure you stay in shape. you can vacation to fancy resorts. whereas if you are president, you are bound to have people who hate you and you have security guards everywhere you go.. not because you might get mobbed by fans... but that someone could be out to get you. umm. no thanks.

First lady. Actually, any place in the presidential family. For some reason I think having a bodyguard would be fun.
