If I were President of the United States today

[malaise]

I'd be live on TV discussing the deaths of 31 military personnel. I'd be talking about the Navy seals who killed Bin Laden and those who died here. I'd be calling three days of national mourning and live coverage of their funerals.

Then at one of the memorial services I'd ask Americans whether they want a withdrawal of all the troops or the reintroduction of the draft.

Why should the children of the poor continue to die for corporations and rich folks to get tax breaks.

1. That would be nice...

:applause:

[polichick]

2. That's what a president would do if he or she weren't afraid of the mic.

3. Why do you think we need jingoistic bullshit instead of actual help for the nation?

I'd go on TV and tell the nation that I'm pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan. I'd tell the nation that I'm cutting the war budget more than in half.

4. I'd be signing an executive order

to nationalize the currency and to slap tariffs on every single former American company that off shored its business to exploit cheap foreign labor and then import their crap back to America to sell to us at prices reflecting the costs of producing them here at fair wages.

And I'd be firing every single goddamn revolving door federal reserve/Goldman Sachs adviser from my staff and replacing them with Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich clones.

I guess I'd have my last will and testament up to date first.

5. There's a reason you aren't POTUS

7. Far too sensible and ethical for that job, that's for sure...

9. There's a reason I'm not POTUS

Or any of us. Claiming we did not go higher because we are morally superior doesn't sit well with me. It is not that simple.

8. Sure is...

:thumbsup:

6. Simple: that's what is done in a RW society and will continue to be done until all vestiges of RW

wickedness is wiped from the face of the earth (this nation). :patriot:
