[nini]

I played volleyball in Catholic School in 1971 - I think I was a co-captain.
I got my driver's license the day after I turned 16 - aced that test!
I worked for the US Postal Service serving my country for EIGHT full years!
I took a class in Portuguese at a local community college which gave me the required foreign relations experience.

1. I told my wife that we should move to Alaska

and wait for the normal course of corruption to take its course and within 10 years or so one of us can be Governor

[DesertRat]

2. I've lived most of my life in a state that borders Mexico

I have foreign policy experience!

[lligrd]

3. I Went To Canada Once

I think that qualifies me.

[brooklynite]

4. I have REAL Foreign Policy experience...

I've briefed Government delegations from Italy, Belgium, India, Japan, China and Korea, AND I work only three blocks from the UN!

[lligrd]

We can't have that.

[Zomby Woof]

Lived abroad for 2 years and learned Dutch (my class was FULL of Muslims! I am totally an expert on the Middle East! Yea me!)
Volunteered on campaigns since 2004! Kucinich and then local campaigns. I know all about the opposition and am totally ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency! Did I mention I once had a uterus?!?

[helderheid]

[AZBlue]

I'm going to the White House!
:bounce:

[Venceremos]

10. Yes I can top it

I should get the job before you because I have better foreign relations experience: I sell stuff on ebay and sometimes I have customers from other parts of the world.

I also have executive experience: I was the den mother of a Boy Scout troop for 2 years.

[Diane R]

11. I'm definitely qualified to be McCain's VP. I learned to say the alphabet BACKWARDS when I was 5!

I served as secretary of my high school drill team.
I'm physically fit (sort of), because I walk about 3 miles every day.
I raised three children (and none are currently pregnant...although they are all boys).
I once worked on an environmental issue and even negotiated with the director of our state's Department of Ecology!
I visited England, Switzerland and Belgium about 30 years ago (definitely foreign relations experience).

[LonelyLRLiberal]

[Zomby Woof]

12. You've got me beat!

[nini]

15. Would you like a spot in the cabinet though?

I think we find a spot for you. :D

[Zomby Woof]

18. I had a spot in the cabinet

Then I sprayed Windex on it and it was all gone! :D

[nini]

20. .

LOL

:loveya:

:D

[LonelyLRLiberal]

19. You are obviously a terrorist with all that Spanish-speaking stuff.

Could not get through vetting process.

[Zomby Woof]

21. I am probably an illegal immigrant

I was born 15 miles from the Mexican border. :tinfoilhat:

[LonelyLRLiberal]

25. I just KNEW it! A Mexican (well close enough) terrorist.

You probably just crossed the border to get born, too.

[LonelyLRLiberal]

16. I was Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow for my WHOLE STATE!

Also, I have a liberal arts degree, which only took me six years to get!

Plus, I don't run a meth lab!

[mokawanis]

22. I was actually elected President

of my local union, even though I voted against myself. Despite my attempt to elect my opponent I won by a landslide with 75% of the votes.

Since I was President for 1 year I figure I'm qualified to be VP for 4.

[sunnybrook]

23. I'm a Political Science Major

I have taken a class on International Politics. And I actually did spend a year in Alaska: which is close to Russia. Besides that we traveled through Canada on the Alaskan highway. However I have no PTA experience. That may disqualify me. Oh wait, I grew up attending the Assembly of God. That might help!

[LonelyLRLiberal]

Assembly of God trumps all else. nt

[sunnybrook]

27. Yes I bet

you are all jealous!

[LonelyLRLiberal]

31. I could still join, but I guess I'd have to get married so I'd have a head to tell me what to do. n

[nini]

29. Sorry.. being a politcal science major disqualifies you

You may actually understand politics - that is a no no.

[kestrel91316]

24. I got you WAAAAYYYYY beat:

I lived in Japan for three years as a kid.
I raced giant slalom in college.
I used to play the flute.
I posed for nude pics as a college freshman, when I was a hottie according to a few guys.
I have run a small business, making executive decisions like when to stock up on TP and such, and whether or not to order us a pizza for lunch, for 17 years.

The job is MINE.

[blonndee]

I won three school spelling bees!

[bridgit]

28. I can order Italian food by phone, and go pick it up at The Old Spaghetti Factory...

[cliffordu]

32. I killed a rat with a stick and ate it.

[tomnjoy]

33. Mine aren't as good, but maybe enough for SOS?

- I am from Minnesota and eat lefse. Granted, it's not as interesting as mooseburgers!

- I was Miss Congeniality 1992 in my small hometown pageant.

- I live in Minnesota (on the Canadian border) so I must be an expert at foreign policy.

- I manage our home budget and all the financials for our home-based business (plus do our own taxes!) so I MUST be a financial genius.

- I took Spanish for 5 years in high school and college.

- I was the Chair of the Membership Committee for a Community Theatre for three years so I have executive experience.


Gosh, I am starting to wonder why I haven't been appointed the leader of the free world yet.

:sarcasm:

[nini]

36. Welcome to DU tomnjoy!

You may be over qualified with your home budget experience though. It appears one must only spend more than they pull in to qualified.

[tomnjoy]

37. Thanks :)

Yeah, I think the whole concept of a "budget" makes me a radical. Oh well, I'd rather hang out here anyway.

:hi:

[SaveAmerica]

34. I just watched "As Time Goes By", the show takes place in London - International experience

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that took place in a church, give me that old time religion.
I watched Disney's "Brother Bear" and I learned about Alaska and shape-shifting into animals, groovy.
I've pretty much abandoned my children to volunteer on local campaigns - they can fend for themselves for all I care.
I killed a stick with a rat and ate it.
Pack my bags - I'm a going to Warshington!!!

Wooooot!!! Big hair, big smile, I'm in!

[HamstersFromHell]

35. I stayed at a Holiday Inn once...

so I must be overqualified?

[Lord Helmet]
