Spoiler:
Best: Our tradition of freedom and rights for every person in our country.
Worst: People's ignorance to what is happening in the world around them caused by the reassuring tone of the droning of the talking heads on the idiot box and the radio, and the apathy people show in their unwillingness to change this for fear of hearing something other than that reassurance that the world is exactly how they want to think it is. As president, I would do the little bit that I could to raise awareness of the ignorance and apathy of the average citizen. I would quickly lose popularity because people do not want to break the shell of ignorance that prevents them from the possibility of thinking for themselves. I suppose I would try to begin education reforms to break the cycle of learning to conform, then teaching to conform.
A close second is the strictly two-party system, with each side putting its own interests above the common good. I would campaign for elimination of the vote percentages required to participate in presidential debates, and work toward giving parties other than the big two a serious chance at holding office. Again, I would lose support, this time losing the support of my own party and the opposing party who can always agree that any other parties should be kept down to the point that they can never get more than a seat or two in Congress.
