How About Me for President?

I finally got that presidential election story off my chest and into the paper, and as far as I am concerned, a therapeutic one that was. It’s out of my system now (I’ve been choking on that one ever since September), and so are the presidential elections.

I’m going for a couple of days to the mountains, as I’ve just about had it with presidential pooha. Personally, I think you guys should all vote for me for president. I’m almost maronite (Roman catholic comes pretty close, no?). I promise I’ll go to church every Sunday if I get elected, if that makes you happy. Or not, if that makes you happier. They’re all looking for a neutral person. I’m neutral.
What do you think? Sietske in Beirut for president?

If it was to me I will vote for you and no one but you.

With great sense of humor and good-looking who needs more.

Great post

I am not a stupid MP but you got my vote.

I agree with Mirane. It's like working in a kindergarten: everybody wants something from you, they all want it at the same time, and none of them accept the impossibility of the combination of all their demands. And in this one, you don't get to send them home with their parents at night...

Well, Sietske. After all these years of character education maybe you could teach those unruly, selfish ministers something. Maybe the concepts of cooperation, thankfulness, and respect are ideas they could be ready for. On the other hand, your sanity would be better safeguarded working with 5th graders!
