President Clemmons

"A president like me would get politics going in the right direction."

Listen to this Commentary!

By Josh Clemmons

My dream candidate for president would most likely be me.

I can see me now – riding in my limo, shaking hands…everyone happy that a man with common sense has just entered the White House.

A president like me would get politics going in the right direction. Every month there would be barbecues at camp David, block parties on the lawn of the white house. I’d have a 1-800 hotline to let the public know what laws are being passed. For every state of the union address, Stevie Wonder would sing a different new version of the national anthem.

Financial scandals would never be on the front cover of newspapers, and The money flow would never stop moving to the things we need, like housing, education, jobs-- not war technology.

So when you see the name Josh Clemmons on your ballot someday, remember my words and vote for me.
