This is Mike Bertucelli, the developer for Mr. President, very nice and thorough job on setup. I hope you enjoy the game. I'll give you one pair of advice that will help you immensely, read everything slowly, and carefully with the emphasis on everything.
FYI - GMT has already indicated that there is a massive errata update coming out and is available on preorder. A 2nd edition incorporating all of the errata is also available for preorder.
I watched a few people play this when it came out and all I can say is...good luck. Honestly it seems really weighty for not much actual fun (probably an accurate depiction of being President honestly). If there was a video game version of this where everything just did what it was going to do automatically until you needed to make a decision I would be a lot more interested in it.
