Some Things Never Change

On April 26, 1943, Time Magazine published an article titled “How to Become President,” and it is very amusing to me how relevant that article is still today. The Constitution requires a native born United States citizens running for President to be thirty-five years of age, but we all know there is so much more to the job description than that.
The article points to Ohio as the “Mother of Presidents” and a barometer standing where all U.S. political currents converge. I believe Ohio will again be in the spotlight once the two party nominees are decided. I believe the saying “As goes Ohio, so goes the Nation” is still true in 2008.
I find it interesting how somethings change while others stay the same. Sadly, I believe the Ten Presidential Commandments that are stated in this article are just as true now as they were back in 1943. This presidential campaign season is characterized by the word “change,” but I wonder if our presidential candidates will always follow the rules of the Presidential Commandments. Take a look at the article, and let me know what you think.
