Oh Boy, It's Election Season

Yes, it’s that time of the decade when we choose our next President. What fun. We have a former POW who seems more than willing to go to war, perhaps because he was a former POW. Then there’s the Demo candidate who promises nothing except change but is not specific about what those changes will be. Finally, we have Hillary, and don’t forget Bill. It’s a package deal.

When was the last time that a President did anything that had a real effect on your everyday life? Okay, Bush gave us some money back on our taxes. That will fill the car a few times as oil rises and the dollar shrinks. Other than that, has a President done much to make your life better?

All the candidates make promises. “I’ll lower taxes.” “I’m going to bring the troops home.” “Gas prices won’t go any higher on my watch.”

What none of them bother to add to any of these statesmen-like statements is, “If Congress will let me.” Most of the time they won’t. A President can’t make legislation. Why is it that none of them mention that?

So, how do you choose the next Leader of the Free World? In my case, I go for the entertainment value. John McCain and his young(er) wife just don’t appear to be much fun and I have a gut feeling that it would be a boring Presidency.

Barack Obama and his potential First Lady might be interesting. He comes off as intelligent and she appears to have the potential to say some really goofy and inappropriate things. However, that’s only one of them who ranks very high on the entertainment scale.

Hillary and Bill Clinton. Now we’re talking top-drawer fun potential. We already know what Bill is capable of doing; remember those golden tabloid years of his Presidency? Now if he does something stupid he can always say, “Hey, so what? I’m not the President.” If Hillary is half as entertaining as Bill was we could be in for a real treat with both of them in there. We might even have a White House wedding with Chelsea. Think about that all you ladies out there.

Will any of these candidates bring down gas and food prices, improve the way the world looks at us or have any direct effect on you and your family? Not likely. Will any of them improve Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid for the retired or soon to be retired? When cows sing.

I urge my fellow Americans to choose a President who will at least be entertaining. Why not the funniest? Yes we can.

Make sure you vote.
