A Satirical Look at Election 2012

Well it's almost time for 2012. Time to finish off another great year and move into the next year with hope for wonderful things to come. It's also the year of a Presidential election. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican you are probably dreading November. The pool of candidates is far from appealing. You like one thing about them, but completely dislike another. Let's face it, everyone has some sort of problem. Whether its sexual harassment (like no President has been there before) or gay haters, there is some major issue with each one. They seem to switch their beliefs and views with the audience they are speaking to. But isn't that what America needs? They talk to North Korea and promise that we like them more than South Korea, then talk to South Korea and say how much you dislike North Korea.

But what do we really want in a President? The economy sucks so we want him/her to fix that at the very least. Not too much to ask I think. Then there are those little wars over in Afghanistan and Iraq with several thousand US troops dead. We need the President to bring all the troops home and completely leave those countries to fend for themselves (won't be hard, the President can just look over the records of the last 15 Presidents and see how they did it).

And what about Iran? We need our President to get them under control. Even though for 50 years we never have been able to. But why worry about them anyway. They aren't developing nuclear WEAPONS they are developing nuclear ENERGY. Silly people for thinking otherwise.

And why not add Kim Jong Il ohh I mean Un...Does anyone think this guy gets too much attention? But to be truthful, he scares me. Have you seen that look on his face? It reminds me of Hitler in his younger days. Is he always mad? Our President will have to find out or he/she can just ignore the Il or Un like we always have.

So is there anything else our President must be prepared to do? Not that it isn't enough but we add fighting with a useless Congress, a paralyzed Judiciary and don't forget about the state dinners! No our President must be one heck of a person or an actor...you choose. We've been there before too.

Honestly, what do WE, the average American truly want from our President? NOTHING! We want to be able to feed our children, provide a decent place for them to live and hopefully send them to college. We want to run our small businesses successfully without too much government interference or without taxing the heck out of us. We want companies to STOP shipping their jobs to India. We want to prosper and do a little better than our predecessors. We want Congress to care more about putting people to work than they do about keeping their jobs. They are so busy keeping their jobs that they aren't doing their job!

Show me a candidate or even current President that takes that stand and he/she has my vote!

AND, we don't care what the UN is doing!

Lawyers charge too much

I bet this is the biggest complaint I hear. It is too expensive to get advise from a lawyer. However, I think the average person ASSUMES that it is too expensive to talk with a lawyer. There are alot of lawyers that offer either a free consultation or some reduced rate for the first consultation. After that each attorney sets their own fees on what they expect it will cost them to prepare your case and follow it through to the end.

You may ask "why do we have to pay such a BIG retainer?" Well the amount varies from client to client. Your case may be more complicated than another. A case may be mostly paperwork, while other cases require a lot of court time (which is considerly more expensive).  Most attorneys are not overcharging you. However, be careful and look at several different firms instead of just one. When you meet the attorney for the first time, make sure they are attentive and sound like they care about you and your case. Remember they are on their best behavior, so if you don't like the attorney then you are even less likely to like them in the future.
