For the past 20 years, America has had presidents after presidents with ridiculous quirks. I have to imagine that if America picked it's spouse in the same manor, we would have a divorce rate of, well, what the divorce rate is now.
In 1988 George Herbert-Walker Bush was elected president under the campaign slogan "read my lips: no new taxes." Well, he raised taxes, which is a lot like a man marrying a woman and saying, "Honey, for richer or poorer, I promise I'll never steal from the neighbors." And the next day being caught walking out of the neighbors house carrying their television.
Four years later, Clinton pointed this fact out and won the presidency. But, what about Clinton? Here's a guy who lied to the entire country and cheated on his wife with a fat chick. That's like a woman marrying a man who lies to the entire country and cheats on her with a fat chick. (I realize it's not much a simile)
George W. Bush gets elected eight years later and commits to a war on the basis of false intel and a search for weapons of mass destruction. It's kind of like a man planning to consummate a marraige with the belief that the clitoris is somewhere in the foot.
Now we have Barrack Hussein Obama. He was one of the most inexperienced members of congress when he became president. This may offend some sensibilities, but there's a reason people who get married young usually don't last. His ideals sound like they come straight from pot-filled college dorm rooms, which also probably explains why he did so well in the polls with young people.
It's no wonder why the divorce rate surrounds 50 percent and why presidents are limited to two terms.
