Presidential Candidates: 2008
What do our future leaders have in store?
By Kent P. Wright
Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Presidential Elections: that quincentennial occasion that has America’s brain in knots. This year is no different from any other; many people are confused about who they should vote for. So to make sure that America is informed and ready to vote, I have compiled a list of the Presidential Candidates of 2008.
Ronald McDonald
Dressed in his custom made red and yellow suit, Ronald took the stage Sunday night with a rousing speech about American pride. “I am America,” he says. “I represent America- I am the personification of all things American.” He received enthusiastic applause after adding, “Free Big Macs to anyone who votes for me!” He says that he will work hard to provide the USA with outstanding health care and healthier food.
Dwight Schrute
He bears a sign that spells out DWIGHT- Determined, Worker, Intelligent, Good Worker, Hard Worker, Terrific. He is not very well known, but there are many Americans who think he could lead our country. Schrute would introduce a new form of currency- the “Schrutebuck”, to assert his leadership of the country. He has plenty of experience in economics and would plant beets in every field in the United States. He has spent his entire career working diligently for Dunder Mifflin Paper Companies.
Tickle Me Elmo
Our favorite red monster is running for President, and he seems to be the underdog this year. After the Youtube videos cropping up of him in hysterical laughter, Tickle Me Elmo is certainly taking a daring move by entering the election. There have already been several critical hits to his campaign; now the question is, can he take any more?
Eeyore
Eeyore, beloved character from the series Winnie the Pooh, has officially entered the election. There have been rumors popping around in tabloids recently, but no formal announcement. In his press conference on Tuesday, he is quoted as saying, “I represent the Democrats,” in his low, monotonous voice. When asked what he would do to make our country better, he merely shrugged. It did not make a good impression on the crowd, and it doesn’t look like Eeyore is going to win this year.
It looks like it will be an interesting vote this year, especially with the war in Iraq and how these future leaders will handle their new responsibilities. So on this note I leave you, and with the hope that you will make the right choice in voting.
