Just as a slight mention here, Lieberman was not someone I would want to represent me as a Jew nor as a President. Why? Because he touted himself as a religious Jew yet broke a few things both in action and in words. He would have been and was almost the representative of Judaism to the world. Not non-religious Jews, not Reform Jews and Conservative Jews. He was seen as representing Orthodox (or modern Orthodox) Jews. He failed in my opinion. On the other hand I have no problem with Bloomberg as Mayor. He's not religious, doesn't present himself as being so and while he is Jewish, he isn't being looked at as 'representing' Judaism. Because of all that, I would not be very happy with an Orthodox Jew as President. The job would force him to make decisions against religious standings, act in ways that were against Judaism and basically show that power was more important than God. This goes beyond Jewish presidents to any person in power. If you can not be true to your self in a situation then you should not be in that situation.
