... elected office that is, sooner rather then later - I'm 32 next month! Truthfully I can't take anymore gushing in the media, on both sides, on how "articulate, good-looking & energetic" Barak Obama is. If HE is considered the gold standard on inspirational, well spoken, camera friendly politicians, well, this is where I use the Nicholoson line from Batman. "Wait till they get a load..." I know that's narcassitic as hell, I'll cop to that, but I have just had enough. You guys parallel the Kennedy brothers close enough (Jack & Bobby, minus the billionare gangster father & the head blasts), so I've got my team in place ... but knowing what it takes to replace the Beau toke rate, I'm going to need some serious donations, a volunteer staff is not in the cards ... he, he.
Yes I heard about the bears buzzing the Nimitz. It's all those damn Hollywood movies, clearly the Rusky pilots had just watched Top Gun & decided Maverick & Ice Man were going after the tower.
The best move the next president can make is IMMEDIATELY making Putin his best briend (I can't bring myslef to write "his or her" knowing who the her is this round). And not because we are weakened by foreign engagments or any nonsense like that, but because there is no down side to bringing Rusisia into a "Britainesque" relationship. Oil, troops, commerce, looser interrogation rules, black site prisons where no journalist will want to go, let alone be able to - Siberia. Here's the deal, in the first 100 days you back their claim on the continental shelf (with a sweetheart back door deal for us); move GITMO's function to an old Gulag in Siberia; put together a rediculously generous trade packagae - sign the deal in Moscow with both full cabinets their to physically mingle & develop personal relationships (that makes a HUGE difference even in, or maybe especially, this electronic age); send up a joint space team; go on joint maneuvers in the Bay of Bengal, that ought to make the chi-coms spit out their morning green tea all over their "Mao Rocks" mouse pad; and the creshendo - get them most favored nation trading status but change the law so that it is up for executive review every year. Presto that big ass Russian bear is your best friend, you've got a cheaper, bigger oil supplier whose military will garuntee their's no interruption by some rag heads trying to knock off a fake monarchy (see Saudi Arabia). You've got Bejing, and by extension Kim Jon, shatting his brown jumpsuit, and Ahmedadenajad realizes that their are some Russian jews with dual citizenship in Israel and 'wiping them off the map" will be very unhealthy for his regime. And given they occupy the largest land mass in all of Eurasia no one can ever credibly use the phrase "America's going it alone" ever again - cause you know Putin doesn't mind pissiong off (or on) Germany or France. Everyone already knows that if you attck America or Russia there will be seriously lethal consequences; but if you arrange it so that an attack on one is an attack on both then you've managed to put together a military alliance unmatched in the history of mankind.
You do this as president, solidify that relationship for the next three generations and not only do you ensure continued democracy there, you go down in history with Reagan here for the magnitude in which you affected Russian policy, and the world for that matter.
And for all those screaming about Putins "undemocratic" acts with the press, etc, peer down from that high horse at an actual history book so you don't forget we allowed slavery to remain legal for the first 89 years of our experiment in "We the People", so lets give ol' Vlad some breathing room, shall we?
