I do not have a political blog. I do not have a political background. I do vote. My mother taught me that if you do not vote you do not have a right to an opinion on the way the country is run. I firmly believe that. I do care about the quality of person I choose for office. Unfortunately, the person I would vote for is not running for office.
I did not yet get to watch the whole debate because the two men who, apparently were never taught to share and take turns, put me to sleep last night. I will watch the rest of the debate tonight as it is still on my DVR. What I did see, however, did leave me with a grim feeling and a fear for the next four years, which will become American History.
In my opinion, the best person for the job is a single mother. Now don’t get me wrong, not every single mother is qualified for the job. We all know the single mother who is qualified for the job. She is the mother who has overcome every problem she has faced. She makes quick decisions that always seem to be the right one. She doesn’t “teach” her kids that bullying is wrong while talking smack about her baby daddy’s new girlfriend. She actually puts her children first at all costs. She can balance the budget even during the holiday season because she turns off the cable for three months and puts nothing under the tree for herself. She doesn’t drive her escalade downtown and walk into the social services building with a body full of gold jewelry and a large pizza for lunch to apply for cash benefits. She may receive food stamps or may have at one time but she is the person the system is set up for in the first place.
If I were President I might keep my salary the same as Obama is making now but I would pay rent for my stay in the white house, pay the taxpayers back for the meals my family and are served each day and I would definitely pay for travels expenses as well. It is not a privilege to be the president it is a job that the American people hire you to do. I believe that a control board made up of a certain number of people from each county in this country should be put into place to “Hire” or oversee the qualifications of anyone wishing to run for any federal office. I believe this control board also needs to oversee the federal budget and bring these decisions back to the county they represent for voting.
This democracy has not worked right in a number of years and we the people need to storm the white house and take it back.
