How do you think you'd be doing as President?
I think I'd be considered too far left, and people would be questioning my propriety given how much I'd be swearing during press conferences.
How about you?

5. I can't even avoid commenting on some of the inane things that get circulated in the neighborhood emails - like the 50 email string trading barbs at someone who didn't want their dues to go to purchase of the candles that get lit on the curbs at Christmas! That was a stellar exchange.
You are the type of person the rest of the neighborhood calls "difficult"

3. I think I would suck at it
The mental and physical stress would have worn me to a nub within a year. I'd have delegated as much responsibility as I could to people I probably couldn't really trust or keep track of, and I'd have announced my decision not to run again shortly into my second year. If I survived the full term, I'd change my name, retire to a monastery somewhere in Asia, and never read the news again for the rest of my life.
Needless to say, I'm not running for office.
My old boss, on the other hand, who listened to limbaugh and hannity all the time, drank way too much, was addicted to racist ans sexist jokes, and couldn't write a letter or run a business worth beans, announced once with great confidence that he could run the country better than Obama.
Of course he did.

7. First thing I would do is make several recordings with me saying things like...
1. Senator, you don't know what you're talking about.
2. That's just more Republican lies.
..and so forth, maybe up to 15-20 sound bits.
That way, I could just press #12 and play "That's the most stupidest words I've ever heard come out of a Republicans mouth"
Etc....
That's pretty much what the dems are doing too.

18. Me too. I'd take advantage of a good personal trainer too.
I'm not sure though how they'd be able to spin my spending so much time in bed or posting on DU though. I guess I'd need a secure username here. Like 'Not The President'.
This is all pretty much what Barry is doing!

17. True. I'd make sure when I was at Camp David they'd say I was in serious discussions with top-level economists or some such bs. Then maybe run for reelection as 'the guy who didn't take bribes' or something.
or maybe go golfing.

19. I would be cruising...with the GOP still in obscurity since '08 vote
I would have blue dogs and 3rd way and no-labels crying for mommy. In other words, they get with our mandate in '08, or I'd lead the charge in primarying those suckas with real Democrats in '10.
We'd have a Medicare buy-in if you wanted it (public option), expanded Medicare for the less fortunate, and raise the cap on income to help out the Social Security trust fund.
Bin Laden would still be dead and I'd be bombing the hell outta ISIL.
And I sure wouldn't have a ton of nominations just blowing in the wind. I'd drag Harry Reid's ass to the WH every day to find out how many confirmations has he completed.
America voted for Democrats in '08...I'd give them just that.

63. In the first week I'd sit down with my AG and dust off the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
After hiring an army of DOJ staffers and twisting every screw possible on that front I'd begin canceling trade agreements and closing access to US markets for corporations who offshore profits to avoid tax.
So basically they'd have a grassy knoll party for me after the second week or so.

Typical DUmmie comments.

Man oh man. So much low-hanging fruit:
1. Close the borders.
2. Eliminate capital gains taxes.
3. Reduce corporate taxes.
4. Tax amnesty for overseas profits
5. Repeal 0chucklescare
6. Take DNA sample from Michelle to explore creation of Wookie Army

I'd suck as President, but I could have a shitload of fun as Dictator for Life, and probably leave the place better off than a succession of DemonRat Pretzeldents would over the same time span.

I would grant the fifth freedom to franksolich and Dick Cheney and then turn them loose.
Few presidents have ever granted the Fifth Freedom. It's the right to defend our laws, by breaking them. To safeguard secrets, by stealing them. To save lives, by taking them. To do whatever it takes to protect our country. The Fifth Freedom is mine alone. I am Sam Fisher. I am a Splinter Cell.

I vote we start the party early.

Ah, a right and proper poll.
How my heart dances when I see one.
Of course I voted Jooooos.
My first act as president would be to convert the calendar to business days, and declare that day mini taco day.
nads would be my official photog, but only if she uses the good rig.
