Yesterday I clicked through an interesting ad declaring… “Run for President of the United States.” I said to myself, “Ok. People love me. I’ll totally win!”

The site loaded and a shabby design appeared. A small line detailed:

Each day a new runoff occurs in which two users battle against each other… to become ruler of the free world. Yesterday’s runoff was between Reflection and Ruben. Wow.

Name: Ruben Aragon
Age: 17
Location: Albuquerque, United States of America
My favorite president: John F. Kennedy
My worst president: James K. Polk
My number 1 issue: Enviorment
What I would do if president: Energy Independance
Bio: I’m pretty average in that I love video games and surfing the web. Movies are a definate interest of mine and I’m hoping to one day work on them. I enjoy building Models, listening to music(country and classic rock)

Excusing the fact that Ruben is no where near the age to win the presidency (35 years old), I think his love for video games and the internet are admirable traits. Reflection, on the other hand, is where it’s at. He’s got his stuff down:

Name: Michael Billy
Age: 19
Location: Pittsburgh, United States of America
My favorite president: Thomas Jefferson
My worst president: LBJ, FDR, Bush, Reagan… Everyone after 1880
My number 1 issue: War on Drugs
What I would do if president: Promote Liberty
Soundbite: America has strayed from the path the Founding Fathers laid before it. It is time to get back on that path. Freedom will follow. http://www.rottingnation.com

Promote Liberty. I like that. His soundbite is a gem too.

So go run for President and change the world while you’re at it. I’ll vote for you. U4Prez.com.
