Everyone's on your ass, 24/7.

The party that's out of power is nipping at your heels like a pack of African Wild Dogs.

The press is a cadre of vampire bats wanting blood. Then, you are driven into speechlessness when they strike and hit a vein or an artery, by asking a "gotcha" question that reveals some dark secret of your past, such as the time you ate glue in Kindergarten or when you peeled rubber leaving the high school parking lot in your Camaro with that stripper painted on your hood and you ran over that lady's poodle that had just gotten out of the front door and was running after the mailman. And then, they bug the crap out of you and make you re-phrase the word "mailman" to "personperson" and you just want to flip them off and go inside and eat some Dinty Moore stew and watch your college team play football.

Yeah, power is the ultimate aphrodesiac but if you aren't sniffing glue on power and all you want is to do some good and feed the hungry and house the homeless, but you are told that by the time your budget funds Social Security, Medicare, and pays into state funds that help take care of the underserved, all you are really fighting over is the amount of money it takes to heat and cool the Smithsonian.

So, Mister or Miss or Mrs. or "they" America, do you really want this job?
