Character

In today's Presidential race, I think the media focuses on the candidates visual image more than their character. If someone like Franklin Roosevelt were running for office today and the media focused on his physical handicap, he would never win the election. Our society seems more interested in how others look on the outside, rather than seeing each person for who they are on the inside. This is true with all of the advertisements that show actors and actresses with the perfectly shaped bodies, perfect smiles and lots of sex appeal. I think that we as a society should start looking at the more positive side of each other and not the negatives. And when looking for a President, we should be looking at who he/she is and what he/she stands for, instead of what they look like.
