Say No to Drugs...Or Become President

I am going to try to do the unthinkable right now. I am about to watch our president address the nation. It's no easy task, mind you. When the people in this country elected an absolute buffoon and former junkie to run this country and lead us through times of trouble, we get what we deserve.

After a study from no one else than the Republican Party hitman (James Baker) indicating that our approach in a war overseas is failing miserable and after receiving condemnation from multiple former presidents and leaders across the world, our president insists that the only correct solution is to ignore past presidents, Congress, and foreign diplomats. Did we not just send a message to the president in November that his way doesn't work? If he refuses to be open to input from Congress, I sure hope Congress rejects all of his requests and refuses to fund his demands. That's why Congress was established to check executive powers. Bush needs to learn to play nicely with his peers or hear the word 'No'.

I don't pretend to know the best solution regarding what to do in Iraq. I do know that this war diverted attention from a much more defendable war in Afghanistan and that Bush's stubbornness accomplishes nothing. Our president should start working with Congress and foreign allies for a solution that will actually work.

Now it's time to change the channel. I have seen three minutes of this speech and I can't handle anymore.

I ask you all to do the one thing that can permanently fix our nation's problems. Gary for president in 2008. We can change the constitution so that a 28-year-old can run for president.
