OBAMA? ROMNEY? AND THE WINNER IS...

November 5, 2012

Yesterday I spoke about the Coptic Pope and how his name was pulled out of a jar from a short-list of three, by a blindfolded boy. Well, one can't help thinking about the American elections. Think how much time, money and effort would be saved by just pulling the name out of a hat! You would definitely have to have Barack Obama, and Mitt Romney, of course, but you would have to have a third...

Let's see... It's difficult to have a candidate who does not veer towards one or towards the other... Maybe one who touches a bit of both... I know! Mickey Mouse. If Romney is religious and Obama is spiritual, Mickey now has the Jedi Knights behind him. That should cater for all tastes. So what would the different results mean?

Well, if Obama won, it would take him another four years to make a few inroads: a better health service there, a bit more for gay rights here and the closure of Guantanamo... oh no, sorry, not quite. Oh well, "two out of three ain't bad".

Romney would certainly bring a few surprises out of the hat with him. Perhaps a New Jerusalem (probably void of Arabs), maybe a New Iran (probably void of Persians), but certainly and a brand New America (probably void of liberalism).

It's not looking good. But hey, we must not forget Mickey Mouse. He'll add magic, he'll appeal to the young... and he has all the qualities essential for a good politician: he's resilient, he's resourceful, he knows how to act and most importantly he's at ease with vermin. Mickey: you've got my vote!
