"If I was President"
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 06:02 PM by Feanorcurufinwe
I'd get elected on Friday
Call a peace treaty Saturday
Stop the war Sunday
Call the troops back on Monday



Good plan! A little ambitious, but I like it.

7. I heard that when they were on The Chapelle Show, it's a great sentiment
but the election is always on a Tuesday, I don't understand the switch since it works well the correct way. I guess that's why I'm not a songwriter.

I'd get elected on Tuesday
Call a peace treaty Wednesday
Stop the war Thursday
Call the troops back on Friday

10. But, the question is "If *I* was President."
"If I was President...
... get elected on Friday."

It's his dream. Let him at it. }(

11. I never new Wyclef sang . . . maybe I'm just out of the loop. . .
I've heard him rap before, but never sing.

He's got a great voice :)

14. I don't think it's realistic to expect overnight troop withdrawl
We have a certain responsibility to assist in rebuilding to some degree what our military destroyed. The mistake was in going there to begin with.

If I was president, I know what would be in my first few things to do, in order to generate some government revenue. I would legalize marijuana and prostitution, and require taxes on both. There goes the deficit!
