I'd Like Three Men For President

Let's just think a little bit outside the norm for a minute, and wonder what it would be like to have three men in office at the same time. Each has different views, different politics, different religions, but they must all agree before something is passed. With the input of three different, diversified people, the country would be on a more even keel. They would be able to take turns doing everything, from travel to rallies, to overseas peace talks, to the streets of our cities, where they can see how middle class America is living. If one is sick, the others can take over. If one is in Europe or Africa, the other two can take over.

With all their ideas and beliefs and faiths and truths, they are bound to agree unanimously before a bill or law is passed. If some foreign dignitary doesn't like one man, he can have a meeting with one of the other two. If one of the "Presidents" have an idea that isn't totally feasible, the other two can give input on how to make it better. There is plenty of room in the White House to accommodate three families. Living together, an elevator's ride away, would allow our heads of state to be close enough to knock on each other's door whenever an inspiration hit. Each one could keep an eye on the others. Three Presidents to set out in different directions to accomplish good for all. A committee would be set up to make sure everything was run on the up and up.

Each man would be better versed at certain subjects, so would deal with them, as the others dealt with the areas of their expertise. Three woman would be interested in different charities, and volunteer to those they are passionate about, and try to make a difference. Now I know I'm in never never land, but it could work, as well as it couldn't. If one man has more knowledge in our war efforts, and how to get our boys home, then that's what he would focus on. Three men can do more than one. I know this is a daydream article, but in these free United States of ours, I'm allowed to daydream, and express my opinions.

I protect those rights by using them. When I'm dead and gone, and there's three Presidents voted into office, I'm going to be haunting you doubting Thomas's. Ah, Even I think it's crazy, but I just think that one man is not enough to steer our nation on his own. I know he has advisors, but they are not the same as being Presidents, with the same power, that have to come to a 3 to 1 agreement before a bill or law can be passed.

Think about how many trains of thought there would be, and time, sharing and communicating, explaining, agreeing, disagreeing, and finally coming to a decision they all agree on. How could that be bad for the American people if it has been scrutinized so well, by not one, but three Presidents. And they all have to be from different parties. We need input from all angles. As I said, our Presidents have advisors, and to me, that's no different than having three President's who have got to agree on what's best for us, the people who live this Reality. How can one man be responsible for what happens to all the people in the United States? I can't afford my property taxes. Appoint one President to look into how we can save the "middle class" from having to sell their houses because they can't afford their taxes.

We can't afford the gas prices, and SUV's and trucks are no longer luxuries, but burdens. One of you President's, fix it! People are living with coats on in the winter because they can't afford the oil. Their pipes are freezing, they are freezing. Electric keeps going up. Over three hundred dollars a month! Another President, fix that! Kids can't afford to go to college unless they can qualify for a loan, at which point they just signed the next 10-12 years of their life away with student loans. Education should be free. One of you President's, fix it! I will have no health insurance due to divorce. I have an illness that keeps me from working, and medication I will no longer be able to afford. Health care should be free. Hey, one of you President's, fix it!

My 78 year old neighbors had to move because they couldn't afford the taxes. Worked all their lives, have social security, bought the home they would live in until they died. How very sad it couldn't work out that way. One of you President's better fix that! Social security is a joke, although, not laughable. One must work until the are 65 or 67. Most of us start as early as 18, I was 14.

Almost 50 years, or more, one can work to look forward to being able to "relax" at 65 and 67. That is sickening to me. We have more than 67 aches and pains by then, so we hang around the house, gee thanks. Trillions of dollars, which is unfathomable to me, are being spent all over the place, but we can't put it into our healthcare and education and social security? We can't get the gas and oil and electric prices down? Oh, I think more and more, three heads may be better than one.
