Ray, I truly believe that one of the most important traits our President should have is good self-control. Being in that position, there will be many, many, many times that he will be in acrimonious situations with various different people from all over the world. The President must be able to carefully consider the words & actions of another, quickly reflect upon it & have the self-discipline & self-control to deliberately engage with the other party & state his opinion calmly & assertively, without being "bull-headed."
