I WANT an elitist for my President....
What is it with the average "Average Joe" that wants a president who "they can relate to", someone who is "not an elitist"? I cannot speak for everyone, but I damned well want a President who has an IQ above 140. In fact, I sleep better at night when I know our President is smarter than I am....I have not slept well in 8 years.

I don't want the "average American" as the leader of the free world. We have a President that "the average guy" can relate to -- how's that working out for us? This is the frickin leader of the free world, the man who has his finger on the world's largest nuclear arsenal, the man who dictates policy for the world's largest economy, and the man who is Commander and Chief of the most deadly military force to ever march in step. They want to entrust our nation to Larry the Cableguy? WTF?

The average American cannot balance a checkbook, thinks gaudy cars driving in endless circles quite entertaining, found White Chicks to be high humor, and isn't smart enough to get out of jury duty. They want someone like THAT to lead the free world? What are people thinking?

Look, I am an average Joe myself, and I am a dipshit. I don't understand hedge funds, can't get my dog to quit pissing on the floor, and am never going to grasp the nuances of the quadratic equation. I am, however, intelligent enough to know when I would be in over my head, and belive me, I got no business being the President of the United States. Neither do 99.99999% of you. It would be a freaking disaster.

I for one, being a dipshit, encourage all of my fellow dipshit friends to go out and vote for that elitist guy with a couple of Ivy League College degrees. Just cause you're a dipshit does not mean you have to vote like one :)

1. I'd Be Happy With an Intelligent and Non-Criminal President
and if that's too much to ask, then we are doomed.

8. I always thought we wanted the best and brightest leading us
And I guess that makes a person "elite". Therefore, hell yes we should have an elitist for president.
See, I can drink beer whenever I want. But I really don't give a rat's ass if I can have a beer with the leader. Help us solve the myriad of problems which we have in this country, that's what we want.

9. I like somebody smarter than me
as Prez. Of course, if that person has the morals of Chimpy, we'd be fucked.
