Okay, you're the President. What will you do?
I'll keep it simple. It'll be my initiative to mount an enormous, united, unprecedented war on.... cancer. And have it cured within 10 years. I want to be the president who cured cancer.
I'll throw huge amounts of money at research, I mean tens of billions, and will piss off a lot of people by cloning the crap out of human embryos along the way, but all will be forgiven when they and their families are eventually cured from otherwise terminal illnesses that affect all socioeconomic classes indiscriminately. This effort will spawn new technologies in health care, likely cure other diseases along the way (maybe diabetes or Alzheimers), and inspire countless young Americans to pursue careers in science as I'm sure the space program did in the Sixties. The benefits will reach all corners of the Earth, and American ingenuity and compassion will be respected and celebrated, again. Let's refocus and get our ducks in a row; you can't be worried about terrorism or the price of oil when you're in the hospital wrestling with cancer. What about you? What will be your presidential legacy?

I would reallize the simple fact that, Everyone dies. That doctors have WAY over-sold their abilities to help society. That Doctors enjoy FAR too much being able to say "your money or your life."
I would focus on maintaining a nice place for future generations. . . .encourage births, and family.

Which type of cancer? There are so many types and variations. Throwing tons of money at it, huh? Reminds me of an old sayng in the Application Development world...."You can't have a baby in a month by putting nine women on the job".

Your money or your life? Pretty dramatic, eh? When has an emergency room ever turned a patient away for lack of money? As for abilities to help society, who is the last person you knew who died of tuberculosis? How many healthy young women in your family have died in childbirth? 15 years ago HIV was a death sentence, now (in this country) it's more of a chronic disease. Modern medicine doesn't have all the answers, nor will we live forever, but a hell of a lot of suffering is avoidable because of it.

C'mon, Bubba got raked over the coals living his JFK fantasy, and you all wanna follow suit by getting laid? As for dying, speak for yourself, steak-eater. I'm loading up on dark chocolate and pomegranate juice. Besides, I'll be president in 20 years, cancer will be cured in 30 years, and you can thank me then (if you're still alive) that you still have your colon and prostate. |

I would expand the Patriot Act to include the death penalty for intentionally undermining war or a President during wartime...I would then get rid of our pussy death penalty and bring back public hangings...All those languishing on death row would get expedition. All abortion doctors would face death if they continued their practice of infanticide.
The IRS would be abolished. The illegals would be rounded up and brought back to Mexico. No exceptions, even their kids. The anti-war communist front would have to pay for the mess they leave after their rallies and would have to pay fines for obstructing traffic and using the "anti-war" message as a tool to further their communist mission. Just off the top of my head. Oh ya, finally give Bill Clinton a fair trial and give him a chance to explain his pardon for sale scam. |

I would also set up motion sensing machine guns, computer operated, at the borders, every 20 yards...They would pay for themselves in the long run.

So far I'm up against several guys who want a presidential orgy, a steak-eating defeatist, the resident Klingon, and the anti-Klingon. I've got the job in the bag.

In no specific order:
Obtain a constutional amendment that states each of the Bill of Rights applies to the States and Feds, and are for the protection of both a collective and individual rights. Legalize all drugs, and tax them. Use the taxes to pay for health care for all citizens. Sell all drugs over the counter without a Doctor's prescription. (It's a friggen racket.) Open the boarders between Mexico and the US and establish a "shall issue" renewable 1 year work permit for each Mexicano and visa versa. Make it a Felony for any employer to hire or employ any person not legally entitled to work in the US. (the current $25 fine does squat.) Hold the principles of entities personally responsible for the felony. Subject Insurance Companies to bad faith cancellations of policies based upon claims, and establsih a cap that a premium may be raised each year. Establish a sinlbe flat tax that comes out of one's paycheck with no other taxes. Establish maximum compenasation for all individuals who hold public office at the median national individual income. Constitutionalize the chain-gang and use prisons for manufacturing. That should make me unpopular enough.
