When I was a freshman in High School, well, I was a smart ass.  Miss Lapree was our Social Studies teacher that year.  She was an older, passive woman with large breasts that she always rested her arms on top of.  We were unmerciful to her.  I of course, was no exception.  In one of my daily rebellions, about what I don't remember, but I said as smart mouthed as I could that one day I would be President. 

I'll never ever forget what she said next.  She said, " Michelle, I hope you are."  What? That stumped me.  I didn't expect that response.  I was expecting to get thrown out of class again to be honest.  I wondered though in that split second, did she really believe in me? Was she just hoping to get a woman in the White House?  Or was she just trying to throw me off my game? 

That answer I'll never know.  But I will tell you this....ever since then, I have told anyone and everyone that I would be President someday.  Of course there are a few minor insignificant holes in my plan. 

For starters, I probably should have never dropped out of college.  I think a higher education would come in handy here.  The next big problem is my intense need for privacy.  I HATE nosy people and anyone ever knowing my business...so that might be a problem.  Lastly, I hate to ever leave these United States.  I am safe here, why would I want to travel to these insecure rebellious countries, and foreign policy, I understand, is a big deal for Presidents. 

I am not of age yet for this coming election, and I'm really not sure if I'll be ready to run in the next race...and the one after that, I'll be practically in the grave I'll be so old....so...  I just don't know if this is one of those times I can keep my word.  It does disappoint me though.  I have so many thoughts and ideas on how to fix this place.

I feel like our government officials are always saying the same thing.  Always combating the exact same issues.  If you are promising to fix that issue, then why is it still there four years later for the next guy.  It's the same old horse shit...Health care, Social Security, What ever War we have started at the time, our depressing economic situation, the environment, and most recently Immigration (which I will not even get started on here...this is not one of my rants) 

I feel like when they are campaigning for all these things, they might as well stand up and promise us a vending machine in the cafeteria and a longer recess.  That's basically what it is...the same kid in different clothes, peddling the same empty promises that we all, quite frankly, have lost interest in.  I want a Politicians that does something for me.  The Average American Citizen.  Not the big business.  Not the special interest groups.  Not what they think is morally correct for the greater good. 

I'm not sure how this all works, but I'm pretty sure that my tax dollars pay their salary....correct?  So why are they not working for us?  Why are they not being held accountable for a job they are not doing?  I mean isn't that why we left jolly old English rule...to escape Tax tyranny...Taxation without representation...right? (Miss Lapree would be proud I remembered that) Well who is representing me?  Not anyone that has any idea how any of us actually live our lives.

All I want is affordable health care for all of our people.  I want our seniors to retire with the money they deserve.  And I want my daughter to inherit a clean, safe earth.  It really can't be that hard, if you just remove all of the bureaucracy bullshit.

I have a plan.  I have a mission that I will never see through.  But I plan in the next couple days to write up my idea for a complete, comprehensive guide on how to fix America.  Please check back in a few days and see my plan.  I can't wait...if only I would see it through. 

I would love to make this country back to what our founding fathers dreamed it would be...before the Democrats and Republicans took over.  Oh I wish I could go on the road and campaign....
