There’s been some speculation about John Bolton running for president. He actually might be the right antidote to Obama; the guy looks like he has more real world experience in his mighty mustache than Obama has in his entire cabinet.
The problem with Obama is that we have a ton of real world problems and it’s now obvious Obama has no experience at doing anything useful ever. People thought he’d be a new politicians, but all he ending up being was the larva of one of those useless career politicians we all hate. He’s like a younger Biden. By 2012, people are going to be desperate for someone who actually knows how to do something, and one look at John Bolton and you know this guy didn’t get where he was just on his personal charisma and charm.
So Bolton is worth consideration. Plus, he already has an awesome slogan ready: ‘Stache Strength!
Maybe it’s just me, but one of the qualifications for being president should be to have at least once in your life to have actually had a job. Democrats clearly feel that the less you’ve accomplished in your own life the more qualified you are to tell others how to live their lives.
If I saw him in real life I would reflexively hand him my license and registration.
No more lawyers
I have wood!
Now there would be a peace conference. Stache sitting there twirling his pistol in one hand, the leader of hamas in a headlock in the other and his foot on the throat of ole vladimir.
Stache: Well now, lets talk about getting along shall we?
Fear the ‘seache !!!! I’d pay for frotn row tickets for mthe debate.
Dunno. A mixed bag. I like him, but he’s not run a major organization, but he’s a good diplomat, but compared to the Republican 2012 field, he may be the the best of a weak bunch, but can he raise the money to win, but mebbe Palin would support him.
My reaction is simple: yes.
“With the left half of my stache I will whack you upside the face before you even know what happened and there isn’t a damn thing you’ll be able to do about it” (slightly mutated Billy Jack quote)
I want to oppose his candidacy mainly because I want Sarah Palin to be President. I know that’s a personal weakness, and I should evaluate him on his merits. (My verdict: he is meritorious.) But this is really not the dilemma I expected to face in 2012: too many good choices and we can only pick one!
USA needs Mr. Bolton ASAP
who would win a battle between Fred Thompson and the Stache?
Get him in the race.
He would raise the level of any debate he’s in.
I don’t think he could win,
but it’d would be nice to have a President or Veep
that’d kick ass in foreign policy, instead of kissing it.
I’d like to see him clean house at the State Dept.
I misread that the first time and I got really excited. “Jonathan Coulton is running for president!? Finally, a nerd music guy in the White House!”
That would be TOTALLY AWESOME!
Is his stache like sampsons hair? What if the liberals found a tricksy way to remove it right before the election?
I think any option of him running should have some “stache” scenarios and back up plans worked out just in case.
“who would win a battle between Fred Thompson and the Stache?”
They would battle to a draw, then put aside their differences, team up, and battle the REAL enemy. Sorta like “Dragonheart”.
The Stache and Fred Thompson would never battle. That would be like Superman fighting Batman! They only fight evil doers! Besides that the Stache and Fred Thompson are both undefeatable and therefore the battle would be useless. They are also both smart enough to know all of this and they would both spend their time punching liberals in their dumb monkey faces while America cheers!
I think the greatest thing about Bolton is that he can grow his own running mate on his face. Bolton/’Stache 2012!
The last president to have facial hair was Taft. Facial hair has not occupied the top position in the White House since 1913 when Woodrow Wilson took over (is there anything that guy didn’t screw up?). 2013 will mark 100 years of naked-faced presidents (unless Obama grows a Shaft-stache or something, which we all know is impossible, as that might have a chance of making him slightly cool). Therefore, the president in 2013 should either be Bolton, to finally bring it back, or Palin, for the irony.
Actually, I want Palin, Bolton, and Christie to be co-presidents. Let’s just temporarily switch it to a triumvirate thingie for eight years.
(also Obama couldn’t grow a mustache anyway because he clearly hasn’t gone through puberty yet and also because he’s a 9-year-old girl anyway)
