"Martin O'Malley For President of the United States" Judging by today's mainstream culture, Americans seem to love criticizing political figures, like Jon Oliver and John Stewart, whose careers are almost based on criticizing individuals in high places, looking at politicians as jokes and celebrities; consequently, many Americans ignore the good intentioned political figures such as Martin O'Malley.

There have been no Presidents that are perfect on every score, so in picking it is a balance between good and harm. The best President in my lifetime has been Jimmy Carter, he sent no soldiers to war, he tried to wean us off of fossil fuels and he put solar panels on the White house. Carter also refused to leave the Whitehouse while U.S. hostages were in Iran, the best thing about Carter was that he lived his ethics.
