If I Lived At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...

...I would try to act and talk Presidential, not stupid and vapid. And I'd talk about how to make the world better, not more fearful or intolerant. I'd tell the truth instead of lies. I'd offer ideas on how to fix economies, health care shortages, global warming, public schools, divisive thinking and other stuff that's pretty important, too. I'd show that I have a heart AND a brain. In fact....

...I wouldn't try to explain things by starting out with the word, "See?.... as in "See, people really should cut back on their driving to conserve gas" or "See? The people in Iraq are committed to freedom" or "See? It's like this. I'm a uniter, not a divider. I like to unite. Not divide." Because first of all, it makes me sound really stupid, as if I'm grasping for words that just aren't there, and it's really condescending to the people I'm supposed to be leading. If they can't "see" it, I'm not doing a good job of making it obvious.
