“…to run for president you have to be either a politician or someone who runs a company…because as an employee you could never get the time off work.”

Right. Very perceptive. I think that for myself and, just guessing, the majority of other students in my class, the idea that it takes quite a lot of time to run for US president isn’t something that needs explaining. It’s a big place and there are lots of people to meet, placate, schmooze and suck up to. The idea that you can hold down a job as a shelf-stacker at Wal-Mart and do that whole ‘national campaign’ thing wasn’t something that I’d ever really considered, but thanks to one lady, I’m not completely sure to never be confused in such a way. Phew!
