| It has become clear that whoever wins this presidential election will become, easily, the unluckiest person on the planet. Let's face it; either Sen. John McCain or Sen. Barack Obama will inherit a whole slew of problems you wouldn't wish on anyone. Among the issues: an economic crisis, two wars, a healthcare crisis, terrorism, a global warming crisis, Russia, an energy crisis, Iran, and one stubborn Dick Cheney refusing to leave his undisclosed location ("I just put up new curtains"). When hockey moms and hockey dads, and soccer moms and soccer dads, and baseball moms and baseball dads get together and talk politics, one thing we all agree on is that we wouldn't want to be president of United States. Not for anything. Heck, few of us would want to be president of our local youth hockey, soccer, or baseball organization because of the headaches. Being president of the United States has to be worse. Unlike Gov. Sarah Palin, if we were asked to run on the ticket as vice president - not even president - not only would most of us blink, we would run and hide. We would hide in the corner with our eyes shut tight, fingers in our ears chanting, "La, la, la, la, la..." until John McCain finally gave up and left. That's probably what happened in Joe Lieberman's house when McCain came to ask him. Sen. Lieberman dodged a bullet in 2000 when he and Al Gore lost the election. You don't tempt fate like that twice. So I have the utmost respect ... |
