The next President?

I was listening to Minnesota public radio in the car since I did not, for once, have the kids with me, and thought I would actually brush up on the news. I am typically the last person to know about anything unless it is the highlighted story on CNN.com. I usually find out news when Aric comes home from having common adult interaction that I hear occurs when you go to work, and then I tell him my news for the day, like Curious George created yet another disaster, or that Dora finally found the city of lost toys and brought all the toys back to all the sad boys and girls. I truly wish she could have found Little Bear #1 and 2, because that would make my life much easier. Back to my point...

I happened to catch a very interesting interview on MPR. This guy has BREAKING NEWS as he said it! Take it for what it is, I laughed the whole way home because it was absurd, crazy, and it started to make sense. Whether it is true or not, no one will ever know...

So per Top Secret information that this guy received from a nameless source high up in the Clinton campaign (no kidding) in a parking lot. This sounds like the beginning of a movie. Hillary is trying to LOSE the presidential election!! What? But it gets better. Obama and McCain are in on it too. Not one of the top candidates wants to win the presidential election. Why? Because as they said the next president is a sucker and will have to mop up a huge mess. But apparently things can't get too much worse (let's see the peak of the rising gas prices before they go that far) and that whoever will be president in the next election in 2012 will be able to swoop in when things are on an upswing and make real changes, and REALLY be the hero. So this is Hillary's plan, to win the 2012 election! They didn't go into detail for Obama. McCain doesn't really want to win either because the Republicans want to hand the mess off to the Democrats. What is America coming to!

They threw some names out there for the next president- Nader, and a guy named Paul. When I looked him up it sounds like it's Ron Paul from Iowa. But I don't know anything about him. I am really not into politics, but this next election is a big one. When I told Aric all this as I ran into the house STILL laughing he said "Isn't it more heroic to win the election and try to make changes now? " Apparently not. It is sad that IF this has even an ounce of truth to it that no one is excited to step up to the plate and take on the challenge. That one would more rather come in a be known as a good president when the economy is on the upswing, than an OK president or a crappy president just trying to do what they can. I just found this piece of information startling and just couldn't keep my mouth shut. This information was just way too out there. So if anything, this is to be thought provoking, and maybe even spark a conversation. Craig I would love to know what you think since you just love this stuff and know the world of politics infinitely better than me. It will be interesting to see how this election turns out.
