Well, really I was thinking more of ethical issues, because whether or not a person is good for the country based on where they land on the political scale is wholly a matter of opinion. And, you know, he could end up being the best president this nation has had in a long time. That doesn't make him perfect, though, or above doing what all politicians do. I mean, Kennedy is widely considered to have been a good president, but he certainly wasn't always perfectly ethical. (And I'm not even talking about his extramarital activities.)
I mean, politicians lie and engage in shady practices. That's what they do. Everywhere.
