This week my sister is here on vacation with me. Our favorite thing is to stand in the water on the sandbar at low tide and talk away the afternoon. I always call this “solving the problems of the universe”.
This morning I think we did it. We were discussing our choices for the upcoming presidential election. (What we were really discussing is how we have no choice.) It’s a six of one, half dozen of the other situation and we spent the better part of the morning wading through the issues. On the morning news there was a GOP strategist that just kind of summed up the two candidates simply and perfectly. He said:
“Romney is a great problem solver, but he doesn’t get people. Obama gets people, but he can’t solve problems. So, basically, which would you rather have?”
As I was bantering the choice back and forth in my mind, my sister says:
“I always thought we should have co-presidents. One person just cannot do that job, especially in four years. It needs two different people that complement each other.”
There! Problem solved. Next?
And so, as another day goes by, if only it were that simple, if only we could be heard – we might have something here, and….I have written.
