"This is what being president of the United States is all about. It's these tough, huge, monumental decisions... It's in a time of crisis making these executive decisions. It's just like our job... It's the same thing as being president of the United States."
-- "Fox and Friends" co-host Gretchen Carlson

I saw a repeat of this on The Daily Show. Yeah, hosting a morning show is just like being POTUS. I wouldn't think that news hosts make much in the way of decisions, that would be more the producer's and floor director's jobs.

Someone needs her meds increased.

I think the only people who can know what it's like to be the President of the United States are people who are/have been the President of the United States.

One thing that I've always found fascinating and clearly demonstrative of what the president has to deal with are the before/after photos. It's truly startling how much a person can age in four or eight years. You can already see some gray in Obama's hair.

...except for one thing, Gretchen. When you make decisions, you do it for ratings and to pander to your base. When POTUS makes decisions, they have consequences, even if he is pandering to his base.
