Why I Should Not Be President.

Wow... this is such a great topic. Muah ha ha ha (evil laughter- first hint that I would not be a "good" president.

The first thing that is a desirable trait in a president according to my impeccable source (my beautiful fiancee) is honesty. I am always honest, I never lie. In point of fact I am so honest that on occasion my children will come out and ask me if I am lying or joking about something at which point I honestly tell them that yes, I had been lying or joking as the case may be. So, honestly not real strong at telling the truth, but fortunately horrible at lying.

The second desirable trait in a president is follow through (and not on the golf swing). If your presidential candidate says they are going to do something you should be able to depend on them to do it. For example I told my wife to be I am going to mow the lawn and someday I may even finish it. Once again the title of this article is why I should not be president.

Well, I think that is enough of the presidential traits. Let's look at some of the great issues out there.

The Iraq War- is a wonderful issue that everyone has lots of opinions over. I hear a lot of talk about us winning the war. Sometimes I wonder if people understand that this war is in the Middle East. The biggest difference between us and them is our viewpoint. For us war should be over quickly. Weeks or months at most. For people of the Middle East a squabble between two families can last multiple generations. You think that they think the war will be over quickly? While we move on, the next generation will be educated as to how evil we are and indoctrinated to fight us. Is it hopeless... no, but understand there is no way it will be quick.

Should we be there? I don't know, but I can say that we should not be there for free. There have been times when people have claimed we went to war over oil. As our oil prices reach ever upward, I wish that was more true. I say if we go to war in another country we should not pay for it. We are in Iraq, we should divide their oil between us and our allies (and our oil prices would drop), but that would be imperial and wrong so of course we aren't going to do it that way (unless I am president).

Let's get out quick. Of course there is no support in the region so their economy would collapse, their government would collapse and it would be a vacuum that would suck any power hungry despot with an anti American agenda into power, but let's do it anyway. We saw how well that worked in Vietnam. The people we were aiding turned against us (and rightly so) and we left lots of equipment and people behind. So, how do we do it differently this time. We do it in the middle of the night. We plant explosives on all our equipment and blow it up turning it into junk so all we have to remove are the people, then in a massive air lift and exodus by boat we pull all our American people. Leaving the people of Iraq to go to hell. So we won't be doing it that way... unless I am president. Enough on Iraq.

Let's talk about immigration... First and fore most this is the United States that I live in. If you want to live here you need to be fluent in English. You should also have a useful skill, but that may be as simple as willing to do the jobs other people don't want to. That's it a pretty simple guideline.

Domestic violence... is it a presidential issue? Well, it should be. While we are off rescuing the world we are missing what happens in our own back yard. Let's bring all our troops back from overseas and have them help solve our domestic issues. It of course won't happen unless I am president.

Well I think that is a good start to why I should not be President of the United States (oh yes there are many more that I will discuss in another blog). And while some of my ideas may not be bad and some may cause you to ask why it couldn't happen. I know I for one will never be President. Have Fun and Be Great.
