My name is Marcy and I live in a small town in southern Oklahoma. I have been seeing you all on the national news lately. Yes, we get the national news here. You are all throwing your hats into the presidential race almost daily it seems. Some of you I know a little bit about, some of you not so much and one of you might as well move to China because I don’t like you and you will never get my vote. OK, I feel better know. Back on topic here. So for all of you, except that one I mentioned earlier, I am anxious to hear your platforms.
I would love to know where you stand on today’s issues. How are you going to get Congress to work with you? Do you have a magic wand? How do you feel about the environment and what should we be doing to preserve it? How do you plan to create jobs? What is your view on foreign relations and how in the world do you plan to handle this terrorist crap. Again, how are you going to get Congress to work with you? I mention this twice because they don’t have a very good track record working with ANY sitting president. Oh, if only I had a big broom. Sorry, off track again.
I think you get the gist of what I’m saying. Right? Being president is a HUGE job. I don’t think anyone can really comprehend just how big a job, stressful and frustrating it is until they actually get there. I really want to mention Congress again right here but I won’t. Have you noticed how many presidents have gone into office with normal colored hair only to leave with gray hair? I think it goes with the job. My recommendation is that you do what I do, get your hair professionally “touched up” then no one knows there is any gray there.
So as a registered voter and someone who will vote, I have told you what I would like to see and hear from you. I think it is only fair now that I tell you what I don’t want to hear: I DO NOT want to hear you trash talking your opponent. Every breath you waste doing that, could have been time well spent telling the voters positive things you will accomplish. When you trash talk your opponent, it makes you look childish, petty, untrustworthy and stupid. Yes I said “stupid”. If you start trash talking your opponent, I will not vote for you. I will lump you in the category with that other candidate I mentioned earlier that needs to move to China. If you want to be my president, show some class. If you want to be my president, tell me the good things you will do for this country. If you want to be my president, stand up and do what is right. If you want to be my president, then show some compassion. If you want to be my president, then prove to me I should vote for you. Don’t let me down. I will be watching.
