I was caught being a criminal. I mean, you CAN be a criminal and run for office, but not if you're a convicted criminal.doh
And then I started really looking at what the President is expected to do, and I decided that even if I could run, I really don't want the job. I mean, could you imagine having to hang out with politicians all the time?w00t
Nope, definitely not for me.
Plus, I bet I can't sit around on a couch in the White House in my boxers and myLot either. confused
So, I guess you're all stuck with me here.
Do you think you would really want to be the President of the United States of America?
[question posted by myklj999]responses and comments:
No, I wouldn't because I wouldn't want to have to clean up after all the f*ckups before me. This country is in way too much trouble for me to want to clean up the mess. I feel bad for the nominees in this election. besides it sounds too much like work and I like being unemployed. [camomom]
Thanks for best response.blush [camomom]
No, I would not want to be the president, I don't think I am smart enough for that. Then again, it wouldn't be the first time there was a big dummy in the White House, would it? [thebohemianheart]
Dummy?..What Dummy?..lol.. [Rosekitty]
Nope, not me. They couldn't pay me enough to deal with all the stress of that officde. So, mykl, are you undercover or in the witness protection program now? You have no avatar. confused [spalladino]
I'm on a laptop so it really is difficult to see but I did see it once I knew that I was looking for something. Nice MySpace page...AC/DC is one of my favorite bands and I'll stay up late if an old Clint Eastwood cowboy movie is on. [spalladino]
Hey myklj, So you're a convicted criminal? No? And not just the mylot avatar bandit? No? You have made a good point. You wouldn't be allowed to sit around on the couch in your boxers and mylot! Nope! That wouldn't do! Nope, I don't want the job either! What for? I would be bored to have to listen to all that crap and go to all those boring dinners with all those boring people. No way, no thanks. Someone else can have the displeasure of that job, it's just fine with me! It's too much pressure and not enough fun! So I think I'll just stay here too!ninjarasp [Opal26]
I think that all the ex Presidents wore strange clothes in the WH and boxers would be fitting right in with them...just think of all your women coming to visit you..wub chasing you around the Oval Office..oh what fun i can't wait and i see no reason you can't be Our President..there have been worse things going on then being a criminal so i feel that should change and anyone can be our Prez..well if they are like you they can rasp [Rosekitty]
Hi myklj999, Oh I just got this picture, a long table in the white house with you in your red spotty boxer shorts Mylotting away to us hahaha and your body guards all standing looking so important and then you jumping up and down with glee because I have just reached your £10 dollars payout from Mylot, I can't stop lauging while I'm typing this, then you get a call from the P.M of England and he has to hold while you finish Mylotting, hehehe and your still in your spotty red boxer shorts. Tamara [tamarafireheart]
No way jose'. I wouldn't be able to handle the pressures nor would I want to subject my family to the ridicule, accusations, and lies of the scrutinizing media. If they can't find something bad they would just make up something bad. I must say, I'd rather be poor! And politicians....well...no friendship material there. I need to be able to TRUST my friends. Nope, I could NOT handle it at all and I wouldn't really want my man in there either. I'd have to claw the eyes out of the liars and rumor mongers. I'm a bit too protective of him and his integrity and reputation. Besides I don't think that avatar thievery would really disqualify you mykl! wink Looking good, dude! [Irishfrndly65]
happymykl. Not on your life!! They couldn't give me the presidency. Don't worry, you'd most undoubtedly would get bored sick. Besides you're too smart to be President. Like you said the only difference between you and most politicians is that you have been convicted. Too bad we can't convict the rest of them. No offense. Just kick back and enjoy mylotting.rasp leenie [leenie50]
The only good thing about that job is the pay and the retirement pay lol I would not want a job like that where the odds are you won't ever please everyone. [fwidman]
Hell I would vote for you, you would be more truthful then those damn people I bet. Hmm you could sit around in your boxers and mylot still if you wanted to, just probably not as often lol. If I ever became president I dont think I would last to long lol, I would either be assassinated or...well probably assassinated lol. In the short time I was in office I would change tons of stuff, or try to, and that is why I would be killed lol. [darkjedi]
That has to be the most stressful job there is! Did you ever notice that, for every four years in office, they all seem to age ten to fifteen years?! They have to be all correct and polite and sit through boring speeches every day. They have to smile when they'd really love to be punching the person they're "in diplomatic talks" with. And everything they do and say is analyzed and criticized every minute! It's a horrible job, only to be handled by the biggest egos. Incidentally, the current President does have an arrest record! confused [cobrateacher]
Hahahah What a pic in my head that was Mykl hehehehe.lol Sitting around in the White House myLotting in boxers..omg I love it! I do not want to, have no desire to be the Prez at all of anywhere..I am much to shy for that sort of thing yes indeed. Hugs xoxo [OceanTiara]
hi myklj999 wellI think its nice that we're stuck with you. oh my I would not want that job at all. I am usually a very mild well mannered, rather shy senior citizen. but if I were to get involved in talking to a politician I really loathed I would probably be kicked out of the Presidentcy for lipping off at that politician. and like you I wouldnt get to sitaround in my bathrobe and tatty nightie and mylot. Evenif they were to elect a woman as president which I doubt will happen, I doubt if they would want a meek shy elderly lady anyway. so I guess we are both sage myklj [Hatley]
whistleNo way. have you seen how it has aged all of those in office? I mean I am sure they have little sleep and so much stress, it would kill most people. Plus all the arguing with all the governments and our own Congress. No thanks, Real Estate is stressful enough! [Barbietre]
I can't even imagine hanging with a bunch of politicians, I have a hard enough time hanging around with real people... [PrarieStyle]
My job isn't actually too bad right now. I think I'll pass. I guess Sara Palin want be sitting around with a towel wrapped around her, laid back on the couch. On the computer, if she is vice-president.rasp [walkthetalk]
oh no no no ,,,i can not think it,,it will not come true in my life,,if i could ,,i would not do this ,,because it is hard to handle ,,i want to free,,and you ?are you of one mind to me?? [rowe0525]
That was good. Thanks for making me laugh today. And, NO. I don't want the job either. [Lee_Rites]
I firmly believe that the last person who should be allowed to govern is the one who wants to govern, so actually you're a good choice. We need someone to keep the bast***d politicians honest. But I'm not entirely sure why you want to vote? It only encourages them. Lash [grandpa_lash]
I just remembered a joke the ex-patriate Irish comedienne Geraldine Doyle used to tell. "I met the prime minister the other week, and he surprised me. He was so life-like." Lash [grandpa_lash]
Hell no. Leave me out. I know how to pronounce "nu-clee-ar" and I simply can't take the time to learnhow to say "noo-cul-er," ala Georgie B. I also only have two hands; simply not enough for the payola I'd have to take. Then there are those Secret Service people, around the president all the time. How in the world would I be able to masturbate in peace with all those eyes on me? Not for me, Myk. Too many distractions in being president. Besides, I LIKE to be active. I loved it when I was WORKING. Further, I might have to interact with members from the "country whose name may not be mentioned," and I have no intention of ever doing that. Memo to self: Give the job to Obama. He already knows how to lie! (C) 2008 RJScott [rjscott]
Nope, I wouldn't wish that job on anybody! [dawnald]
Oh Hell no! There is nothing that could make me change my mind either. Being a President is too much like work, too much stress, and entirely too much responsibly; for none of which I have the capacity. It's also too much BS. I am glad you are not running for the White House. It would be boring here without you [dizzblnd]
"responsibility" not responsibly [dizzblnd]
I rather work at 7-11 than become USA President. What kind of life they have? Look at GW Bush he aged at least 20 years for what? any thing and everything happened in our country , they blame the President. Hey spare me this please LOL. [coolguy01]
I just wouldn't want my life under the scrutiny of the public eye. I'd hate it....and as much as it'd be great to be able to make important changes, I don't know that I have the personality for it. I'm too private a person. Kashi [Kashigurl]
Never in a million years. Too much responsibility. Although I know that I could do a helluva better job than the fool in there now, when you are President, your life isn't yours. There's too many things to do, bills to read over, meetings to have, treaties to sign. Oy!!! I'm a lazy something or another, that is way too much work for me. Plus they would probably want me to get up at a decent time. And since I would have secret service to take care of the kids, that wouldn't happen lol. Nope, I'd be better off just sitting right here where I am. If I ran just for show, I might mess around and actually win it lol. [drknlvly6781]
I am with you but here are all my reasons for not running for public office - 1. They would investigate my past, I mean really investigate my past and find out all the immoral and nefarious things I did as a young person including inhaling and possibly even swallowing (oops). 2. They would continue to investigate my past and find out how I put myself through college.....lets just say there were high heels and Poles involved. 3. They would continue to investigate my past and find out that I wasn't divorced before I started sleeping with my current husband. Of course I had been seperated for nearly 10 years but I don't think that will matter. 4. They would continue to investigate my past, going way way way back and find out that I altered my mind with .... well lets just say Timothy Leary and I had similar experiences. I could go on and on with all the things that they would find out about me, mostly before I was 21 years old. In the case of #3 before I was 40. The reality is that I wouldn't want my life put under that much of a microscope. Why would anyone. Doesn't matter how brilliant you are. Doesn't matter what you bring to the table. Only matters how much damage can be done to you on your way - why in hades would anyone put themselves or their family through that. [lvaldean]
As Nixon has proven, if you are going to be The President of the U.S. you need to first acquire the office then become a criminal. I think that Bill Clinton has shown us that there is always time to do the nasty or even perhaps Dubya gets to sit around in his "Skull and Bones" embroidered bloomers scratching himself with Condoleezza Rice reading him the "Cat in the Hat comes back" by Dr. Suess. By the way, which is good reading and highly recommended for those that are into reading quality books. To answer you Question, Yes. I would like to be president and then put my finger on the button. I'm not sure which button, but I heard this is the guy who can do it. [mrghill]
Actually the only stipulations in the Constitution is that the candidate has to be a natural born citizen and at least 35 years old. Nothing about a felony! But at any rate, I agree, I really wouldn't want the media poking their nose into my business! [laglen]
I know I couldn't handle the stress of being the president. Despite what idiot these politicans are it really is a difficult postion to be in. You will never make everyone happy. There will always be people for you and against you. There is only so much you can do. And even if you have amazing ideas that would actually work to help the country it doesn't mean that it would actually pass congress. The checks and balance thing can be as much a curse and it can be a boon. But you'd have my vote. You'd probably be a better president than the two yahoos running for it. [sabbatha]
I wouldn't want to be president unless I could do it ALL by computer!lol As it would surely interfere with my being a hermit.. And hangin' with politicians? Oh my. Not a happy thought. Unless they were all in their boxers and skivvies.. now there's a nightmarish thought!! But at least it would be difficult for them to be quite as so full of theirselves.. [flowerchilde]
Well most people in office are criminals aren't they, they may not start out that way but the old I'll pat your butt if you pat mine takes over. I don't want the pres's job either but the ones in the offing aren't super that's for sure. Do you think a 67 year old white woman, who's a bunny hugger, non christian, artist, who does energy healing can really be Pres? Now there's a joke. At least in the USA I can vote. and open my none to small mouth about things that are important to me. Do I really have to answer 10 of these to be your friend? I have a feeling you write very interesting discussions. [savypat]
I'll be looking for some good stuff from you. Thanks. [savypat]
I'd be shot down by the Repukelicans in minutes, I reckons. So would you, but I know you can do that dodge-bullets-like-in-the-matrix thing so you might be ok... Yeah, so, for my own safety I wouldn't want to be the face of any political party. I would, however, love to be one of the 13-or-so at the top ninja [louise99]
well - I think even if you were convicted, it's alright as long as you didn't inhale. that's how my bio would read: I don't, didn't, nor will I at any time in the future - inhale. if at any point, you hear bad things about me - don't believe it, as I was probably at Camp David, or it was a gross misrepresentation.lol [RedFeather]
Be the Pres??? Heck no!!! You must be joking...mate, I don't even want to visit. *Shivers violently*thumbdown [MsTickle]
