Job description for US president

I wonder who of the current US presidential candidates fit this description. "America did not come by that power through its own innate genius. It acquired it, as do all empires, in no small part through war, invasion, subterfuge and exploitation. Spying and lying about it comes with the job description for which Obama applied and was reappointed." From Is Obama worse than Bush? That's beside the point by Gary Younge.
