    ROFL! In my administration we get two VPs that balances the power better so no one gets too big headed. I also promise not to shoot either one of you in the butt. πŸ™‚

    Hey wait! I’m the VP!!

    I got here first! πŸ™‚
    Can there be two VP’S??
    Hmm, How can we work this out? We are creative, I’m sure there is a solution. See, our first test….

    Hey Ellen! I will be honest and yes you can be VP. πŸ™‚ See, this is where cake comes in, we all have cake (or pie) and everyone is happy. Far easier to negotiate a peace treaty when sugar is involved. πŸ™‚

    Alright, as long as your honest and I can be the VP. How are you going to market our country? No one likes us. That’s gonna be tough!

    Heather, thanks for starting the campaign! Would you like a position on my cabinet? LOL! Hey, there’s Starbucks in it for you. πŸ™‚

    Meryl, I am with you on the choices. Wouldn’t it be great to have real people in charge of the country? πŸ™‚

    Hi Yvonne! Your vote counts twice because you’re special. πŸ™‚

    Now I’m headed over to catch up on all these great posts you all have written, because a great leader knows how to serve. πŸ™‚ Have some cake, tea, and coffee and enjoy your day. I’m off to kiss babies (in the form of blog posts).

    I think that with all of you we have assembled the dream leadership team for the US, heck maybe all of North America. πŸ™‚

    @Brad, LOL! I thought it was only Michiganders who ahem participated in voting irregularities. πŸ™‚

    @Emily, do I know the way to America’s heart or what? LOL! I am convinced that if we ate more cake, the world would be happier. πŸ™‚

    @Jamie, press secretary, ooh you’d be good! πŸ™‚

    Karen, you are so opportunistic, taking advantage of a weak field. You have my vote, and being from Chicago, I will cast it for you at least five times.

    @Wendi, you’re in honey! Whoo hoo, together we could turn the country round, or screw it up really bad. LOL!

    @Roland, you are so sweet. One thing’s for sure the cake would be free flowing and there would be no moral shenanigans, not on my watch! πŸ™‚

    @Robert, I thought it was such a hoot and I had to share the laugh! President of Texas is president of the whole country, isn’t it? LOL!

    I love it, Karen! But now I’m going to run, too. But I only want to be President of Texas; you can have the rest of the country! πŸ˜‰
