no way in hell would i let you run the country

what would we do when you left us for "other" matters

...zap!

gotcha

 

Kobi, I think you're drinking more and enjoying it less!


Ah hell, I voted for Perot, I'll vote for anyone......


KOBI for El Presidente'

 

English, my friend, English.

I don't drink (although there certainly are times I wish I did).

Thanks for your support. Count on better bike trails during that infrastructure rebuilding.

Kobi-

 

A few thoughts....

A. You'll make an excellent politician.

In your opening dialogue you begin with:

and finish with

Contradicting yourself and making it sound good in one paragraph is truly impressive. This politicking stuff will be a breeze.

Your policies are sound in theory, impossible in implementation. One needs to work to either first replace the congress, have a ton of support from kobi ticket candidates swept into office with you, or simply strike fear in the heart of career politicians so they will pass your policies. As the last two are unlikely a grass roots campaign starting in every local district is the first logical step.

I would not be too concerned with the yard signs and laws regarding real names. We need to get the issues with your campaign addressed first. No need to remove the anonymity of the Internet just yet.

With all that said it may seem like I am not in support of your campaign. This is wrong. You have obviously strong support with our F150 brethren and they did not pick up on your opening contradiction. You are one heck of a politician already. Therefore I submit my application to be your Karl Rove. Well sell the idea of a dedicated one termer and reluctantly select the 2nd only after getting in office. Just think of all the good you can do.

So in closing:

A. Step up the politicking to cover the first contradiction. We can make it work.
or
B. Shut down the campaign and start a congressional overthrow.

Kobi in 08...sounds good to me.

 

Actually vader, it is not a contradiction.

I said:

" I have no intention of running for a second term."

you point out what you believe to be a contradiction in:

"If, at the end of four years, the people think I’m doing a great job and still want me as their President, then fine, I’ll do it. "

I'm not sure how you're missing it but, maybe this will help.

I'm not going to RUN for a second term. That is not the same as saying I would not SERVE a second term if elected. If the people take it upon themselves to re-elect me, place me on the ballot, and vote for me . . . all on their own, fine . . . let them do it. However. I will not campaign, I will not participate in debates and appearances. People can still put you on the ballot and elect you if they want to . . . you don't have to paly all the BS games to have that happen.

If elected the first time (where I am running), once in office, all I care about is doing the job. I will not play games and sign bills, and do all that a Presidnet is supposed to do and do so in such a way as to make it "campaigning". This will be stated during our first campaigning effort for '08. It will be very clear that if elected I will not **** around trying to get re-elected. It will be up to the people to put me back in and do everything to do that . . . but without me playing games.

So you see . . . no contradiction.

Oh, vader, by the way -

Thanks for your offer. It is greatly appreciated and obviously we will give it serious consideration. Obviously we will have to meet and talk, see if we are a match and discuss issues and strategies further.

When can you make it out to the beach?

Kobi-

 

How about the slogan

A toaster in every home
Vote Kobi.

Dear Russell -

I like it. Toast is great, especially sourdough toast with lots of butter. I'll give it to my Press/PR Coordinator, Ashley.

Thanks for your support!

Kobi-

 

As I have mentioned before I work for a travel agency so I can get airfare fairly inexpensively. I shall make a point to contact Ashley to see what your schedule looks like.

By the way. For a half a second I thought I was wrong (MAN YOU ARE GOOD) then I realized that one can not be elected if one does not run. Now you may not campaign for a second term but you certainly would have to sign the application, thereby signaling your intention to run.

I certainly don't want to appear combative as I hold your candidacy in the highest regard.

Warmest regards.

Vader

 

Hi everybody!

So far I appreciate the interest you all have taken in the campaign.

The conventional wisdom says that a person can not get elected President if single. So, I'm going to probably need a First Lady.
I'm thinking I'm going to need a woman who is already famous (say, an actress or model). Hooking up with a woman who is famous brings instant publicity and obviously, we need all the press we can get.

Now, my first three choices are already married (Diane Lane, Cindy Crawford and Sela Ward) . Bummer. I'd go with any of them in a heartbeat . . . but alas . . .they are already spoken for.

So, I've narrowed the field down to the following.

Deborah Kara Unger

Famke Janssen

Laura Linney

Rachel Weisz (granted, she's almost too young, but I look young so it would still work)

Rebecca Romijn

Rosamund Pike

Sofia Coppola

These women are single (some recently divorced) and would be great. I am just wondering who of these you think I should go out with.

Kobi-

 

As I understand, a person can be "drafted". LBJ's "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve" runs thru my head and leads me to believe that one can be nominated without running.

If that's the case, then that's part of the beauty of it. I don't mean to make it seem that it's a gimmick . . . because it's not, because I'm sincere about not wasting my tme running and trying to kiss a$$ during my first term just so I can get re-elected; however, and you gotta admit, it's not been done before and it certainly contains buzz value.

Honestly, I don't even think I have to sign a paper. If 80% of the country writes in your name (or if you can get on the ballott without actually signing the documents) then believe me, it's gonna get noticed and anyone in D.C. who wants to keep their job will defer.

Whatever . . . we'll deal with it when we reach that point.

Kobi-

 

Agreed...researching your First Wives Club for political advantage. I'll get back to you in the am with a recomendation.

 

In case anyone might be unfamiliar with some, or all, of the ladies that I listed as a possible First Lady, I've included a pic of each along with a bit about films they have been in so you might remember them better:


Deborah Kara Unger
She was in "The Game" with Michael Douglas. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you rent it. Very good.


Famke Janssen
You might know her from the first two and the forthcoming X-Men Movies, or in I-Spy.


Laura Linney
Awesome talent. Was in Primal Fear, and about 30 other films.


Continued . . .

 

Continued from previous:


Rachel Weisz
Chain Reaction, the Mummy, Runaway Jury, Constantine


Rebecca Romijn
X-Men 1-3, The Alibi, Godsend


Rosamund Pike
Die Another Day

 

And finally -


Sofia Coppola
Writer/Director

Uh, yeah, I have no idea why, but right now I am finding her incredibly sexy these days. Your guess is as good as mine on this one.

So . . . fire away with your opinions . . .
