I often wonder what a REAL President might be doing about now.
I daydream about what America would be like if we'd had a real president, instead of a half man half chimp backed up by a committee bent on conquering Earth.

I wonder how much better off we'd be if we had a real president, from any party, I ain't picky as long as he or she were an actual, thinking, sensible, coherent president.

Would we be having several wars at once? Would the economy be booming, and jobs abounding? Would health care become priority one, or even two or three?

I often wonder how much better off we'd be if we actually had an elected president with an actual brain, and then, I sigh.

Would a real president call for a middle east cease fire? Would a real president send men and women off to die knowing it was all phony? Would a real president talk with his mouth open and curse and hit on female German chancellors?

I wish I'd never heard of w.

1. A "real" president would be doing pretty much what Mr. Bush is doing.

The problems in our Gov't go deeper than whoever is occupying the White House. Until the problem of corporate money owning the Gov't is solved, we will continue to have presidents that pursue policies that benefit the special interests rather than everyone's interests.

3. Who WAS the last real president?
Harding? That's before my time.

2. I think you answered your own question......
a REAL president wouldn't be singing "If I only had a brain".

Hey GW, a brain is something you're BORN with, it's not something that's acquired!!!!!

4. The asshole in Chief seems to think...
he has been divinely chosen to impose what he thinks is God's will on the people of the world. The greedy corporate overlords use this delusion well to their advantage.

I tend to think that a President who had some ounce of humanity and a thimble full sanity would do things quite differently.
