Presidential Decision
 

There are so many movies about "Regular people" who become president of the United States...

Perhaps its time for that to actually happen, and I think that I will be that regular person.

I have no real political background, obviously, but look at the election bearing down on us right now. Its not a matter of "whoever everyone likes will win", but rather "whoever everyone hates the least will win". This isnt right, and this surely isnt what the forefathers of this country envisioned this great land becoming.

The problem is that those who run for president have no real idea of what goes on in the real world, unless their advisors let them know. They make decisions that generally have the greatest impact on the middle class, yet the only middle class people they know, are their servants. The largest "class" group in this country should have a stronger representation, and our tax dollars need to be appropriated to things that truly impact the majority of this countries population; not just a government who looks out for the elite. they can afford to look for for themselves. One of our companies largest and longest running industries, the automotive industry, is struggling, and the damage done to our nations economy hits more than just those working in the automotive industry...look at Flint, Michigan.

Its time for someone who has actually been a part of working America to represent this country. This upcoming election is guaranteed to force another elitist clown who will only look out for the best interest of the pocketbooks of his or her friends or businesses. 2012 may bring about some change, but why not begin now, and be prepared to put a real American back in office for the following election.

2016 brings about another chance for the United States to have a president who is truly committed to transforming the government to once again represent the people of this country, rather than the corporations.

Are you serious? You are really going to run?

RE: Presidential Decision
 

Right off the bat, I am interested in some public opinion, so we will establish a webpage with some information and see what kind of interest I get based on views and such.

RE: Presidential Decision
 

Go for it

RE: Presidential Decision
 

I'LL VOTE FOR YA, WHAT PARTY ARE YOU GOING TO BE AFFILIATED WITH?

RE: Presidential Decision
 

Can I be in the cabinet :D; or get a cushy job with a fancy name where I dont do much. And a company car (cough challenger, cough). Just kidding. I hope you run. Good luck bud.

RE: Presidential Decision
 

I will vote for you only if you promise to ride in a Challenger limousine. :D

RE: Presidential Decision
 

Maybe "The Challenger" party?? Seems appropriate... :D

It's a shame you can't run this time (the issue is age isn't it). It would make the decision a lot easier. I'm down to choosing between third party candidates (from a person who swore he would never resort to this). Have you chosen a running mate yet? Good luck!

RE: Presidential Decision
 

Well you certainly make some very compelling arguments, and fundamentally speaking, I pretty much agree with everything you've said.

But I gotta ask, generally speaking... who in their right bloody mind would really want that job? In today's age of 24 hr news and the internet, you are constantly scrutinized 24/7 (you think you're scrutinized now as just a mere administrator/moderator? ;) ). And it's not only you, it's your entire family and just about every association you've ever had in your life. Just think how many skeletons that they'll find in your closet (and if they can't find any, they'll make some up). I can't imagine the skeletons that my naysayers would find if they dug really deep (heck, they wouldn't have to dig very deep lol). And all that for what - 400 grand a year?

If you're really serious and are up to the scrutiny... all I can say is you're a much stronger man than I am. And I just might be crazy enough to vote for you. [sm=americanasmiley.gif]
