Job Interview Advice

No, I am not looking for a new job, but I am getting pretty fed up with this campaign process, which seems to me like a pretty wide- and large-scale job interview that presidential candidates have.

I am wondering why, outside of our own job interview, what seems to be the most important job interview we experience (ok...every 4 years) is not about telling you and me why we should hire / elect them, but why we should not hire / elect his competition.

I am going to guess that if you or I were to take this strategy into our previous or next interview, we would probably not be asked for a 2nd interview. However, in the interview that shapes our country, being vague about oneself and poignant about why the other guy sucks is the one of the best tactics.

Is this just me?

I want a candidate who says screw what the other candidate utters...I am going to tell you what I have done, what I am going to do (at least plan to do), and here is why you should hire me. Sure, the other guy just said crappy things about me, but this is not about him...this is about WHY ME, and I am going to tell you why me! Sure the other guy has done some screwy things...but this is what I have done. Vote for me.

Do we have any luck of that ever happening...of actually knowing the real candidate without having to wade through the watery muck? Is this even possible? I would almost think that the other candidate would having nothing more to do than take the same approach, which would mean we would get a clear picture of the what and who and more when we cast our ballot.

This has no intention or leaning to one guy or party or the other...it happens on both sides equally. I just want to know what is up with this and would it ever work in another job interview...say when the president hires someone. Argh...
