Aren't we supposed to have "Elite" Presidents....
Seriously, I want a President who is extremely smart. After the last seven years, what this country needs is a prototype. Think Kung Fu Scholar or Spartan Queen National Honor Society. Extremely intelligent. Extremely confident. Diplomatic with the ability to force change if necessary.

From day one I want someone who can wake up and read a 20 page dossier on military movements and followup that up with an hourlong briefing on economic policy.

By 10am we're talking about a bill in congress to regulate and stabalize the economy, increased regulation on speculation investment. An advisor mentions a national jobs corp, investment 10 billion, I want a President who asks for a 100 page briefing on the subject by next week.

For lunch we talk about funding new energy research.

At 2 we meet with the Saudis to talk about investing in this same technology, they know the oil is gonna dry up eventually, better invest in the future.

At 3 we talk to our ambassador to Venezuela who is still having a tough time dealing with Hugo about better relations.

At 4 we call Hugo and ask him why he's so angry.

At 6 we hold a press conference on why we called Hugo.

At 7 the Joint Chiefs are here to talk about the process of getting out of Iraq and how long it might take to pull back all but 30,000 troops. At 8 we eat.

At 9 we call the Chinese to talk about trade agreements, how can we restructure the current agreements to benefit both sides in the longterm. Maybe throw in some trade agreements between Taiwan and China, eventually Taiwan is going to be part of China. It's not if, it's how. No one wants a shooting war.

At 10pm we call the Australians to talk about an increased presence in Afghanistan, specifically on the southern border to stop Taliban resurgence.

At 11pm we call the Centcom commander, who is currently in Russia talking to the Russian military about a solution with Iran.

At 11:30pm we're holding a meeting on Iranian policy. At 12:30am we're calling the CIA to talk about secret negotiations with the Iranians.

At 1:30 AM we sleep.

At 7:30AM we wake up.

At 9am we meet with the editors of todays Newspaper of choice, the Washington Post, to discuss what we did yesterday. Tomorrow is NYTimes day. Wednesday is USA Today. Thursday is Wall Street Journal. Every day we meet new journalists, from new companies. They get to come back in a few weeks to a few days. The Post and the Times get full access though.

And the day begins anew..... what can we work on fixing now?

I want a damn master of schedule and all things intellectual. I want a winner. I want Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Lincoln, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Kennedy, and MLK mixed with just a little bit of Stephen Hawking, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Joe Montana. Who's the coach of the Tennessee Women's college team, some of her. Throw in a couple sprinkles of James Bond and Superwoman and we'll have some sort of superior prototype to get us out of this mess.

BRING ON THE ELITES!

The barber and beautician stuff is classified, we'll be gray in 48 hrs but no one will ever know. I did want to mention though, I've never like the dry drunk stuff about Bush, alcoholism is hard to overcome. I do however believe Bush was always extremely dumb, the alcohol just dulled his dumbness for a while.
