Mystery Guest for President?

I'm hoping for a political miracle, someone to come riding in to rescue us from this mess. Excuses or not, enough time or not, Obama's had three years to bring forth the change, and we're in a bigger mess than before. The housing report is bleak, the unemployment rate has risen to the double-digit level in many places, and the stock market has gone berserk.

While I like the president personally, his approval rating isn't that high, either. According to the Rasmussen Report, it has dropped by 20%, and his disapproval rating has risen by 30%, from 15% to 45%. So nearly half those polled think that he's doing a bad job. Me too.

Telling people that he just needs more time is another excuse. The man doesn't need more time; he needs more strategy. I understand that the economy is cyclical and may need time to heal, but what's he going to say in four more years, that we needed more time and that this is a long-lasting impact of the Bush Effect?

We need someone to come riding in on a charging stallion and save this country. Though he may garner the Holy Grail of the coveted Good Old Party nomination, Mitt Romney isn't looking like it after all. Michelle Bachman would probably send everyone to Bible school, and Sarah Palin's an ornament. The others will be forgotten as soon as the last folding chair in New Hampshire has been put away.

What we need now is someone with the charm of Obama, the integrity of Lincoln, the policies of FDR and some of the money management skills of Bill Clinton. It makes genetic engineering look all the better.
