One in the Hand, Two in the Bush…

Posted under How I See It by Mike

 

As our current President is completing his last days in office, it occurred to me that he and I have many things in common.

 

He and I have been in our current positions for eight years. 

We both started our journeys back in 2001.

 

He is a staunch Republican who still believes in the ideals of his party. 

I’m a staunch Republican who is wondering where my party is going. 

 

He is a husband whose wife is his biggest fan. 

I believe that my Democratic “liberal” wife is my biggest fan.

 

He is a father of daughters who have dubious reputations.  Though it would seem they’ve gotten their acts together now.

I am a father of daughters who have great reputations.  There are days however that I find more hair in the sink and suspect them as the cause.  

 

He is leading the fight on the war on terrorism.

I’m leading the fight on a terrorist dog in our neighborhood.

 

He is a baseball fan and was once a co-owner of the Texas Rangers.

I’m a baseball fan an owner of an Anaheim Angels jersey.

 

He is the owner of two dogs and a cat.

I’m the owner of two cats and a dog.

 

He is presiding over the largest economic deficit in history.

Have you seen my latest credit card statement?

 

His father once threw up on the Prime Minister of Japan.

I once threw up on my high school girlfriend.

 

His wife was once a school teacher and librarian.

My wife is a school teacher and loves the library.

 

He will be leaving his job next Tuesday and handing the reins to another. 

I will be leaving my job in June and handing it off to no one.

Thanks for the memories, George…

    The similarities are uncanny. But what makes you think the hair in the sink is the fault of your daughters? Maybe it’s the cats!

  7. Anne in SC Said,

    I really have been hoping you wouldn’t have to post about no job. At least you have it until June. Lots of good things can happen in that amount of time.

    You forgot your sense of humor. You and George both have pretty good senses of humor I’d say.
