Presidential run 2012 – The humorous Playbook
Who’s it gonna be? The question that plagues a lot of people, finding out who’s going to make a bid to become the next President to run the (once) strongest nation in the world. Names are being thrown around, some obvious, some a little less apparent. Obviously, the list of speculated candidates is long and colorful. And, as you imagined, on selected few I have an opinion – after the break;I think it’s fair to say that Mr. Obama’s running of the White House hasn’t exactly brought all the promises to fruition, as they were given during his campaign trail.
One can speculate that he didn’t have a chance, that most of his problems were inherited from another presidency that was run by an amateur, or alternatively, that Mr. Obama is just too much of a rookie to navigate the difficult course to run this country.
Be that as it may, the facts that we, the USA, are in worse shape now than when he took over, are irrefutable. It stands to conclude that he won’t be reelected. At least not if the voters of this country have at least a higher level of intellect than a Wendy’s sandwich, or -much like at the last election, they Republicans won’t send another pair of completely inadequate morons to compete.
Let’s have a look and see who could possibly run for President of the United States in 2012.
Barack Obama: I think it’s highly likely that he’ll consider to run again. He’s going to bring forward that he needs more time to make his promises from the first campaign trail true. That the burden he’s inherited was too much to overcome in just 4 years and that his word is as good as it was the first day he ran for election.
Opinion: BS – you had your turn and most everything you’ve tried, at least on the big ticket items, you were stone walled by Congress. It’s quite apparent that there’s a level of animosity between the elderly group of social misfits that sit in Congress and you, Mr. President. Your socially valid concerns and intellectually correct agenda, won’t get you anywhere fast.
Not to wash old, dirty laundry, but I distinctly remember the promise to withdraw our troops from the mid-east, yet there’s no end in sight and our numbers were actually increased. This has somewhat gone backwards, hasn’t it?
Conclusion: Barack Obama – No.
Sarah Palin: This should really be more of an unreasonable joke than a serious bid for presidency of the United States. I couldn’t fathom that she’d actually consider running as primary candidate for the position.
There’s not an ounce of positive that this woman has brought to the table. Meanwhile a reality TV performer (not a star), her skewed views and statements are beyond ridiculing to even the lowest amount of intellect.
Not to mention her children – although they wouldn’t run for office, they’re still part of her overall image and therefore would “rub off” on how the world views the U.S. That in itself is a no-go.
Just overall, I can’t help but sense “trailer trash” when I look and listen to them.
Conclusion: Sarah Palin – Hell No!
Jeb Bush: Florida in “da house”! Is America ready for another Bush? Not just that his predecessors have royally screwed us over, if Jeb were to run and actually gets the position, we could expect more of the same. A little more war mongering, inadequate statements, agendas of self interest and Bush philosophy, which undoubtedly has damaged this country more than we can repair within another decade.
Conclusion: Jeb Bush – sorry bud, your relatives killed your chances on that one.
Donald Trump: Here’s one that actually rivals the lighthearted, laughable character of Sarah Palin. Real Estate Tycoon, Reality Show host and the star of multiple runs through bankruptcy court would want to run this country.
Here’s one to an overly inflated ego! Cheers, Donald!
Interestingly enough, he’s actually considering the bid, citing that he’s “sick of the world looking at the USA in disrespect, as a reality tv infested nation.”
Is it just me or is there a little element of contradiction in his reasoning?! What could this caricature of an individual really bring to the table for our country? His continued bitching about having lost the bid for the Olympic games and other small items are hopefully not the staples of his approach. If so, he’s even less than a poor excuse of an overly inflated, self centered ego, who has no business in world politics. Stick with what you know, Donald – and keep the rest of us light-heartedly entertained. It’s what you’re best at. Leave the rest to the pros.
Conclusion: Donald Trump: You’re Fired! (before you started)
The list of speculation candidates is long and colorful: Interesting candidates are in Green | Strange in Orange | No! in Red | No opinion in Black
* Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona – we are overly policed as it is. Do we need another “Sheriff in town”?
* Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi
* Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts
* Former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida – 2 Bush interventions have been enough. We cannot handle a 3rd with the same ideas.
* Businessman and radio talk show host Herman Cain of Georgia – An entertainer? Yes! Good idea. Make the world scratch their head over a candidate with zero experience on the world stage. Surely a great way to set the course for the future.
* Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey
* Senator John Cornyn of Texas
* Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana
* Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina
* Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich of Georgia – Seriously? No…that’s a joke, right?
* Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York – just because he got major press during 9/11, doesn’t make him fit to run the country. Frankly, in the aftermath of 9/11, after everything was said and done, he’s been less of a joy to witness.
* Former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas – Interesting choice. I’d be interested to hear a plan.
* Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana
* Former Governor Gary E. Johnson of New Mexico
* Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia
* Former Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin of Alaska – A dream come true for … the opposing candidate. A surefire way to win the election. The Alaskan imbecile and her distorted views would cause a lot more harm on the world stage than she could ever do good for this ridden nation of ours.
* Former Governor George Pataki of New York
* Representative Ron Paul of Texas – Interesting choice yet again. The man is definitely persistent. I’d like to see what he’s got up his sleeve this time ’round.
* Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota
* Representative Mike Pence of Indiana
* Governor Rick Perry of Texas
* General David Petraeus of New York – A military vet as President. I’m not sure what the implications of that would be. But, since he’s military and understands how to wage a war. Since this is all we’re doing of late, it may stand to reason that he’s a good choice – if this is the voters ideal choice for the next 4 years. Otherwise, I’d like to hear his plans.
* Former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts – Also an interesting candidate. Let’s hear some plans…
* Senator-Elect Marco Rubio of Florida
* Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin
* Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania
* Senator John Thune of South Dakota
* Businessman Donald Trump of New York - see above.
All in all, whether the candidate is Blue or Red, doesn’t make much of a difference. The political stage is one of concessions. Promises made to self interests group who have the funding to support an efficient campaign. The ones who make the most concessions, get the most funding. The ones with the most funding, and subsequently best marketing, have the best chance of succeeding in their presidential bid. Logically, once attained, it’s time to pay up. In reality, other than a REAL business tycoon (NOT TRUMP), who’s truly independent and couldn’t give a rats ass about self interest groups, being elected for President, not much is going to change.
The ones with money dictate the direction, the ones without money are being coerced into a vote that’s been skewed from the get-go.
Welcome to America!
