I would like to say I could trust his morals just b/c he's LDS, but seeing what Harry Reid does, I recognize that such a baseless hope would be extremely naive.
I was a Chuck Baldwin vote.

well mitt romney was running on the same principle. being a "business" man; but i must say also romney is about 500 times more inteligent than bush. {either the first or the second}. 
and no way would i have voted for him; although i do admire his being l.d.s of course; if any l.d.s person were to become president, it would be virtually impossible to keep a "worthy" temple recomend. |

I'm guessing it has more to do with the "attending all your meetings" question. An LDS POTUS would, out of necessity, fall into inactivity. Perhaps not inactivity of testimony, but certainly of attendance.

Yeah, but he could also request a meeting with the First Presidency to clear the matter up.

My husband and I were wondering just how an LDS President would handle Temple attendance around security requirements.

Mitt was just another politician, he offered nothing new, nothing better.
