Obama for President

by Bob Betzen

Obama_Austin_1.jpgOf the remaining viable candidates, Senator Barack Obama most deserves to serve as our next President. He showed the right judgment by calling the debacle in Iraq a mistake from the beginning. His willingness to engage in diplomacy would help improve our relations with other countries. He’s open to ideas from the other party, has a viable health care plan and is serious about reducing the federal deficit. But we know about all that already. Here are some other reasons to vote for Senator Obama.

Fewer Soap Operas
Senator Obama adores his family and seems to have stability at home. He’s not the tabloid type. Obama is too young to have served in Vietnam, so we won’t have to fight that conflict all over again this summer. His parents have no grudge with a Middle East dictator.

Style
Has anyone else noticed that Senator Obama never has a hair out of place? He’s more street lights and less bonfire, more extra dry martini and less Old Style beer. No one uses these three words to describe George W. Bush: lanky, urbane, and eloquent.

Oprah’s Friend
Around nine million viewers in 110 different countries watch Oprah Winfrey every day. Maybe President Obama could convince Oprah to make pending legislation required reading for her book club.

Dick Cheney’s Cousin
While Senator Obama says he will talk with the Iranians, Ahmadinejad can get a little feisty sometimes. Isn’t it comforting to know that the commander in chief still has the old good cop bad cop routine available to him? President Obama could just say: “Look, if you don’t want to deal with me, I could always bring in my old friend from Wyoming.” And the circle will be complete.

About Radical Avenue

If you want to find criticism of our government here in America, you won’t need to look far. When it comes to politics, it seems that everyone has a grievance. Radical Avenue on the other hand, takes a solutions oriented approach to public policy. It’s radical because I’m proposing fundamental changes to the structure of our government, like transferring commander in chief responsibilities to a small elected group. My philosophy is: Everyone knows we’ve got problems, so what are we going to do about it?
