So you want to be President! Why not? Presidents have come in every variety. They've been generals like George Washington and actors like Ronald Reagan, big like William Howard Taft and small like James Madison, handsome like Franklin Pierce and homely like Abraham Lincoln.From the embarrassment of skinny-dipping John Quincy Adams to the mischievous adventure of Theodore Roosevelt's pony, Judith St. George shares the backroom facts, the spitfire comments, and the comical anecdotes that have been part and parcel of America's White House.

当总统有好处有坏处，总统都叫什么名字，他们住过的房子、体型、身高、年龄、个性、外表、兄弟姐妹、血缘关系……林林种种，都是从普通人的角度来讲总统的趣事逸闻，读来亲切、幽默；对于历届总统直率、尖锐的评论，体现美国政治评论的自由环境。故事收尾部分，讲述了几位最为杰出的总统的政治事迹，如托马斯?杰斐逊购买路易斯安那，极大地扩大美国的国土面积；富兰克林•罗斯福带领人民过上富裕幸福的生活；肯尼迪总统组建和平队，帮助世界各地的人……以乐观、自豪的语调，道出总统职位被赋予的崇高使命和责任。
