Get Off Barack Obama's Ass

My thought for today is.... everyone should get off Barack Obama's ass. I did not vote for him..... I do not like him as President. But whose fault is it that he is President? You and I know that it is our fault. The Democrats put this post turtle up and the Republicans put up the other two numb nuts. So let's face it.... Not much of a choice. Here lies the problem "Lousy Candidates". And this is understandable. Anyone with half a brain who does not have an ego the size of Texas is not going to run and be abused. Not much we can do about that. But here are some possible solutions.


1. Only citizens who are 18+ years of age and of sound mental capacity AND PAY TAXES can vote. If you only pay local taxes, you can only vote in local elections. You pay only state taxes, you can only vote in state elections. To vote for congress and the President you must pay federal taxes. If this was the case, I think that all those collage kids who voted for "change" would have been SOL.

2. All citizens who meet #1 MUST VOTE or pay a monetary fine. Nothing outrageous but it should be meaningful.... say $300.00. I think most people will find that they are willing to save $300.00 by spending an hour or less to vote. OK stop your whining. Voting is not that hard, especially with absentee ballots. Step up and be part of the solution. Of course there should be valid exclusions such as medical/sickness/injury. But not missing a train or stuck in traffic. Plan your life better or come up $300.

3. Have a "None of the Above" option on the ballot. If the "None of the Above" option takes more votes than those running...Oh boy! Start all over... right from the beginning with primaries. Do not pass go and do not collect $200! So you say who will be President while a new election is run and held. Very simple NO ONE. Let the House and Senate muck it up without the president hanging there as lightning rod for criticism. If this happens a few times, no one will be happy and maybe the parties will stop throwing crap up against the wall hoping something sticks. Additionally, you and I will give some serious consideration to who is running and stop voting for the "lesser of two evils".

Thanks for reading and keep your powder dry!
