Views on her what?

orourkeda · 26-09-2011 11:44AM

An excellent president who performed her duties with great aplomb.

I met her once. She was very nice. She hasn't had any scandals so that's good. But apart from her recent meeetings with the British queen and the paddys day events, I know sweet f all of what she has done.
She's nice though

I'm looking in her window now and she's not at home.

would smash

Both thread title and post need a re-view

o1s1n · 26-09-2011 11:45AM

I always thought it was such a shame she never got her own tapestry.

An embarrassment to be honest. Her predecessor was 10 times a better representative of the country.

AnonoBoy · 26-09-2011 11:46AM

Panoramic mostly.

Thats such a bullsh1t statement. What's so embarrassing about her presidency?

mike65 · 26-09-2011 11:49AM

She started badly (you have to go to the Dublin Horse Show when President you know) got worse - Unionists/Protestants are Nazis moment and then recovered and had her finest moments at the Somme and in May.

Probably a bit too much travelling on behest of the states economic interests.

She was a great president. If we could have her for another term or until we get decent candidates that would be great. We have to keep it fair though, so she has to go.

/End thread.

bleg · 26-09-2011 11:52AM

Probably viewed as average at the moment but in 10 years time we'll probably regard her as the best or second best president we ever had.

orourkeda · 26-09-2011 11:56AM

I believe she'll be hard act to follow. I think it difficult to see how any of the current candidates could surpass her but perhaps the next president may surprise us all.

And she will be ten times better than her successor!

THE POWER OF 10!!! SHAAAAZZZZAAM!!!!

Did an average job considering the massive salary she gets paid. For €250,000 a year I'd want wonderwoman in there and I'm not kidding.

We could've hired four Polish presidents for that kind of money. One for each province. They'd clean the place n'all for that......

Deedsie · 26-09-2011 12:15PM

Our best president so far, proved that the role of president does matter. I feel she represented the Irish people very well. As many have said, such a shame she can't stay on!

FloatingVoter · 26-09-2011 12:16PM

I voted for Adi Roche at the time and thought that M.McAleese would be a disaster. Happy to admit I was wrong. In 14 years there were a couple of mistakes (bound to be) but she handled the office with dignity.

A tad harsh. I'd certainly struggle to think of a better replacement.

Mistakes are bound to happen. It would be unfair to expect anything else. That could happen to anyone.

Her predecessor used the position to shill herself to the UN.
Once she had mooched her job preaching around the world she was off down Chesterfield Ave. as fast as her legs could carry her.

Kasabian · 26-09-2011 12:23PM

Her pathethic fawning over the Queen of England changed my opinion of her.
Wow.

Wow.

I think there was a bit of mutual fawning going on there, with each of them trying to out-fawn the other.

At least someone has moved on.

Angron · 26-09-2011 12:30PM

Pretty much sheer indifference.

Sonnenblumen · 26-09-2011 12:31PM

Probably the first President that has had more direct contact than any of her predecesors with more citizens throughout the length and breadth of the country and beyond.

Well done President McAleese, an exemplary performance which did our country and it's diaspora proud.

charlemont · 26-09-2011 12:32PM

A good person but unfortunately she would sign anything her FF colleagues ask of her.

Her salary is totaly ludicrous but that's hardly her fault to be fair.
