A president should be approachable; understanding of people's problems and needs; he should be fair and equitable; he should listen with an open mind and a closed mouth; he shouldn't make a decision without all the facts and above all else, he must be honest to the people. Anything else and he shouldn't be president. Anthony T. Hincks
About This Quote

What is the most important quality in a president? The answer is honesty. You can’t be honest with yourself if you don’t admit your faults. President Lincoln was honest with himself and his country, so he was able to do what was best for his country. He had honesty in his heart and made decisions based on the facts.

He didn’t just make decisions based on his own personal agenda. If you want to be president, then you need to be honest with yourself and with your country. That honesty will allow you to make decisions that are fair and equitable for everyone, not just the people who are close to you.
