Elections in the usoA
Or how a bad president can be good for a country.
It has traditionally been an unspoken rule in the usoA, that presidents are males from good, rich, politically connected, white, Anglo-Saxon, protestant families. People have subconsciously associated these types with that “right stuff” needed for their presidency. It looks quite likely however, that his year the next president of that country will either be a democratic woman or a … half-Negro/black/person-of-colour/African-American (or whatever one must say is according to the PC Gestapo) from a Muslim family … in any case … somebody who doesn’t fit the “typical” description.
Should this be surprising?
Of course not! The last time … the usoA elected just the “right” kind of president. His name, as we all know, is “George W. Bush”. He was of the right gender, from the right family of the right religion who went to the right schools and belonged to the right clubs. But he turned out to be such an appalling disaster that worse could not be imagined even for use in fiction.
George W. Bush has managed the almost impossible feat of combining all the potential faults that can be crammed into just one person. There is no doubt in anybody’s mind that Mr Bush is stupid … and we are talking borderline retarded here (no offence to the mentally challenged). This genius furthermore believes himself sanctioned by God, with Whom he apparently likes to have daily conversations, giving us a pretty good indication that he is also a religious fanatic. And that the fact that, as commander in chief, he basically ordered the purposeful murder of many tens of thousands of Iraqis in an illegal attack on their country also means that if evil if what you want, he’s your man. An added bonus of this of course is that the use of false pretences to launch his country into an unjustified war also makes him a traitor. And … well … let’s just leave it at that for now, as the point I’m trying to make here should already be fairly clear:
The citizens of the usoA figure that if the “right” kind of president ends up being a stupid, fanatical, evil, traitor … well maybe it’s time to look around for more options. It would basically be impossible for the “wrong” kind of president to be as terrible as that guy. It is thus a ironical fact that in a way, Bush has achieved a great act by having turned out to be such a piece of scum. He opened up the field to more options. Thanks to him the first woman or black man in the history of his country will take the office of president.
I imagine that if a Black Muslim lesbian woman in a wheelchair could have been found for candidacy … the trouble of elections could even have been avoided altogether … they would have moved her right into the Whitehouse! :)
Cheers!
