Since we are getting political here, I would ban abortions if I were President for the day. It's the worst self-inflicted thing to happen to this country since slavery and the Indian removal act.

Hey Goggen, it's your thread so you should play too! What if Monsieur Sarkozy called you up and you could be President de la Republique for one day?

[Toolbox]

Ok back on topic for this game, LOL. I knew I should have stayed out of this thread because I love debating politics.

If I was president I would send SWAT teams to Wall St. and reign in the boards of all the major banking institutions there and put them on trial.

Hi RDNKJ!
Your right!!! Here we ggggoooooooo.....
1) Making sure no public money are used to pay for personal affairs.
2) Everybody has to show an invoice showing their spending.
3) No more great dinner costing a lot of money.
4) All ministers has to use public or ecologic transport.
5) No more expensive voyage.
6) An obligation to spend 3 months in a poor country before starting to work!!!
I would have a VERY busy day!!!

Added later on:
Hi, I forgot this one!!!
7) As today, ALL the deputies and senators in the Assembly National in France, will after a single 5-years term receive a pension of 1,550 euros!!!!
This corresponds on average to what an employee of the private sector receives after 40 years of work. (We have in the Assembly National a total of 577 deputes!)
This I would CANCEL!!! No more privilege to the deputes and senators!

You know because the economy collapsed because of a major lack of regulation and oversight, which was the fault of both parties.

Not everything he has done was bad. Obamacare was bad from the start because too many people put too much pork into it for the sole purpose of letting the bill destroy itself within a few years.

WTF do I have to explain anything to you? Does this thread say I say to explain myself to anyone here? Get it thru you're thick skull and get a life. This thread says what you would do as President for 1 day. It doesn't say explain to Toolbox on what you posted.

[CandaePrincess]

if all anyone can do is get rid of another's system but not say how they would fix the gov't or what they would do to make things better....then you're just another republican......

ha! :P


If I were President for a day...I would peeve off oil companies by passing a law to get the monorails going throughout the states so we can conserve energy and our pocketbooks (except the douchebags with the hummers *L*) AND I would spend A LOT of funding on our school systems, with higher teacher pay, stricter classroom procedures and monitoring AND get us back on the path to being the number one country regarding progressive research in science and math. We're looked upon as the stupid country b/c we're so behind the other countries in math, science and there is no reason for it. Except that we would rather play on our machines, than learn how they work. If we're going to leave our children the planet in this state of chaos, we should at least give them the knowledge so they can fix it! :)

This is a bad time in the current American political landscape to bring up these kinds of discussions... LOL... Its gets some of us all fired up... LOL, as you can see above... My stupid arse had to enter this thread... LOL

I'd sign an executive order restructuring campaign financing. I'd place a cap on spending for campaigns so that anyone could have a fair shot at getting elected, not just those who are already rich or well connected. This would allow more of us regular folks to serve and would make campaigns stand on the merits of their plans to address the issues at hand, not on who can run their commercials the most on prime time.

Our biggest problem politically is that regardless of party we are not represented by our peers. We are represented (with rare exceptions) by elitists who are not in touch with what everyday folks are going through in this economy.

Who you going to wrestle with, Red? If it's you and Goggen, I'll watch.


Otherwise, it's a waste of jello.

Ok... after intense negotiations, Pigheaded who is represeting the USA and myself who represents Canuckistan have come to an accord.

We will trade the USA's state of Florida for our Province of Quebec. Yay! you guys finally get to eat Poutine bwhahahahahaha!

The former District of Columbia will now be known as The Province of American Columbia and not to be confused with British California err... Columbia. We will retain the Pointy thing, the big fishing pond in front of it, the house of representatives, congress, senate and the first dude and lady. With the transfer of Camp David to our jurisdiction, we'll also be taking the Supreme Court justices.

Americans will get to keep Bon Homme, winter, the French national film boards entire collection of bad francophone films and the Montreal Canadiens. You'll also get to love July First moving day for the entire province and see it as a unique cultural quirk.

Any questions?
