Mitt Romney is surely an "empty suit." If you check my previous blog on politicians, you'll know how I feel about them in general. Not principled politicians like Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, and a minority of others. But it's not all bad to have a flip-flopper in an empty suit. After all, who but a few would want Romney to really commit to a Tea Party agenda and be unwilling to modify it if he's in office? The president in office has to deal with the realities as they exist. First of all, he's got to be elected. In general, we are lucky to be saved from the true believers like Rick Santorum and Ron Paul. It would be fun to imagine exactly what would happen if this country were run by a screwball like Ron Paul. Or a demented Rick Santorum. Franklin Roosevelt in his second term espoused a cut-government-spending program which led us straight into a depression cured only by World War II. Great men must be ready to change their minds as was even Albert Einstein.
Maybe a health care bill will protect the health costs of the masses. Even Obama, whom I much admire, is acting quite differently than as said forth before he was elected. What about the promises regarding Guantanamo? What about the promise to get the troops out of Afghanistan? What about his acceptance of a drone program which he criticized during his presidential campaign? Was he playing to the potential voters or did he change his mind after assuming the terrible responsibility of a president?
I say Stuart Wechsler for President. John Edwards, that paragon of virtue, for Vice President. I promise to create a new agency of Dog Catcher and appoint Sarah Palin to run it as Secretary of Dog Catching. The Secretary of State might be Ron Paul. Rush Limbaugh as Press Secretary.
'Nuff said for today!
Comments very welcome. The best comment will receive appointment as Secretary of Defense!
