The oath to be taken by the President upon first entering the highest office in the land is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Many Presidents have added the words, “So help me, God.”Once the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court administers the oath, the new President addresses the nation from the steps of the Capital. Most presidents want their addresses to be extraordinary. Once the election is over in November, their speech writers have about ten weeks to prepare the words that will reverberate across the nation with memorable prose. If I had the opportunity to write the address for the next president, here is what I would say:

My fellow Americans, as I stand before you ready to assume the constitutional duties you have so dearly entrusted with me, I want to begin by telling you that as soon as this ceremony is complete and I arrive at the Oval Office, I will be issuing the following executive orders. Because the Senate as of now has not confirmed my cabinet appointees, I will be acting on their behalf and would expect that these orders will be followed to the letter:

First, I am ordering the department of Homeland Security to seal all the borders of the United States. No one in and no one out without the proper visa or permission from the Department of State. In addition, I am ordering the Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security to immediately round up those persons who have entered this country illegally, who cannot prove that they are employed and have been in the U.S. for at least seven years, to be deported immediately. Presidents Hoover and Eisenhower did it when they were in office, and we can do it now. The illegal immigrants who are overcrowding our nation’s prisons will be released and returned to their country of origin. In line with that, I will be issuing an order to the Treasury Department to immediately withhold all funds that are due and payable to “Sanctuary Cities.” Upon proof that these cities are cooperating with ICE, the payments will be restored.

Second, I am ordering the Department of Energy to immediately open up the ANWR oil fields and build offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf Coast off the shores of Florida. We will begin removing from the ground and undersea what rightfully belongs to the American people, our oil. In line with that, I am ordering the immediate construction of three refineries. As soon as that is started, I am confident the price of gasoline at the pumps will come down to $1.50 within one-year. We will not sell any oil to any nation until all our needs are obtained first.

I am instituting ten-cents per gallon tax, no more, no less, to be deposited into the Social Security Fund. The fund will now revert back to the pre 1964 principle that it will remain an untouchable trust fund and used for its originally established purpose, Social Security and Medicare and nothing else.

I am also ordering the immediate construction of 20 nuclear power plants to reduce our cost of energy and maintain a cleaner environment. In our perennially sunlit states on both sides of the country, local utility companies will build and maintain solar panel facilities to furnish electricity to run all necessary infrastructure equipment. This will include street lights, traffic lights and government properties such as municipal buildings and public schools. In New England, we will erect Wind Thermal Generators outside the shipping lanes off Martha’s Vineyard to also run the states infrastructure. [Sorry Ted]

Third, terrorism is a worldwide problem. Nowhere on the face of the earth has it awakened a nation and emboldened anyone more than Americans over the past eight years. I am ordering the CIA to reinstitute “Water Boarding” where they deem it necessary to protect the citizens of this great nation. We still bob for apples do we not?

Fourth, I am ordering the new Congress to cease all financial bailouts of corporate America. The corporations got themselves into their messes they will get themselves out. The same rules will apply to the sub-prime borrowers. How stupid do you borrowers want us to believe you are? No one forced you to sign those mortgages, stop crying and grow up. Americans will start to take responsibility for their own actions. “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

Fifth, the department of Health, Education, and Welfare will see to it that the word “Tenure” is removed from academia. The only people in America who have tenure are Federal and Supreme Court Judges and teachers. We can remove doctors’ licenses for malpractice, disbar attorneys who bring shame to the legal profession and jail corporate executives who commit fraud. However, the teachers who may have been responsible for teaching them their evil ways are exempt from removal.

Students in high schools will be required to work summer internships. They will begin to learn for the first time in their lives how geometry relates to building a roof for a house or designing a landscaping project. That is why Asian students are better educated than American high school graduates. We must bring back that competitive edge.

More importantly, “Political Correctness” will be removed from our schools. If you excel, you will receive a pat on the back. Equality is socialism. It does not belong in America. Natural law of cause and effect that effort determines the results will be taught again. Honor rolls will be reinstated.

Foreign exchange students who study in the U.S. are not allowed to work in the U.S. If they return to their home countries and use what they learned to build up their nations, they may later come back, if they want to, and become productive in America. The savings in wasted foreign aid will be enormous. Third-world nations must learn to stand on their own two feet. We will help them during a natural disaster, but not with free handouts.

Sixth, private university endowments will be taxed. Harvard University’s endowment alone is valued at $34.9 billion. Historically earning 23% a year, the interest alone is enough to purchase health insurance for 800,000 families. Yale has $17 billion and Columbia almost $25 billion. I am ordering the Internal Revenue Service to examine and audit all the private university endowments immediately.

Seventh, the words “entitlements” and “earmarks” and actions relating to them, will be removed from every congressional agenda. The only entitlement you deserve, if you are healthy and living in this great nation, is to have the right and ability to [lawfully] do and be anything you want to be. Earmarks should be the impressions you leave on your pillows at night.

Eighth and lastly, the words “Under God” will be rewritten onto every item they have been removed from, never to be removed again. The Ten Commandments will be placed in front of any courthouse in America that wants to erect them. They are still inscribed over the entrance to the U.S. Supreme Court. They belong there. These Ten Commandments are the foundation of all laws in America and the free world.

My fellow Americans, you probably have noticed that I did not mention the economy. I did not have to. If everything I just told you falls into place, we will not have to worry about the economy; it will fix itself. I also did not mention taxes under my plan. When the economy corrects itself, we should be able to reduce them even more.

In conclusion, before I retire to the Oval Office to implement my programs, if you disagree with my mandates, you are free to peacefully dissent or even stand in line with the illegal aliens who are being deported. The Constitution gives you that right. I am sure we can find room on the bus for you.

You asked for change, and here it is.

God Bless America.

Authors note: If any of the current candidates want to be in the position to give this speech on January 20, 2009, they had better start speaking about these ideas now and they had better mean what they say. Americans are getting wiser every day.

And, that is my opinion. What’s yours?

A subliminal message is a signal or message embedded in another medium, designed to pass below the normal limits of perception. These messages are considered unrecognizable by the conscious mind, but in certain situations can affect the subconscious or deeper mind and later actions.

Subliminal messages have been used in advertising. Their purpose, effectiveness, and the frequency of their application of such techniques have been debated.

During the 1970’s, subliminal messages were inserted as a momentary, usually less than one-half of a second, into an advertisement or as a flash-frame during a movie. The brain notices and digests it, but your conscious mind is unaware of what is happening. As an experiment during the 1970’s, in a move theater in New Jersey, the message “Drink Coca Cola and eat popcorn,” flashed across the screen. It was determined that popcorn and Coca- Cola sales increased 50% during that movie.

The question you are probably asking yourself is what does this have to do with the Presidential campaign?

Recently, Barack Obama was accused of using subliminal messages in his political ads. Actually, according to one report, there is a subtle reference in a Hillary ad about a gasoline tax plan that includes a newspaper headline titled, “Obama Attacks Clinton’s Gas Tax Plan.” The headline was rewritten and placed over an article about “Troopergate.” If you remember, Troopergate is the story of two Arkansas state troopers who allegedly arranged a sexual tryst for Bill Clinton when he was still in the Governor’s mansion. It is rumored that a pro-Obama supporter, who had worked on the advertisement, placed the graphics in the ad.

Most people would never even notice it. The ad runs too fast for anyone to actually read the script. Even when I tried to read it during a freeze frame, I needed a magnifying glass to try to raise the fuzzy print to a readable level. Only then could I make out the words: Governor, Arkansas and Troopergate. Therefore, it must be true. Nice job, whoever you are.

Now that Hillary and Bill [they are part of the same package whether you want to believe it or not] have apparently exhausted all their options and can only hope to rise like a “Phoenix,” what will they do next?

In her latest mis-speak [LOL] responding to a question from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader editorial board about calls for her to drop out of the race, she said: “My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just, I don’t understand it,” she said. Hillary said she didn’t understand why, given this history, some Democrats were calling for her to quit.

Is that her “Phoenix”…an Obama assassination?

Sixty-four year old Sirhan Sirhan, who was convicted of murdering Robert (Bobby) Kennedy, is still serving a life sentence.

This isn’t the first time the thought of Obama’s early demise was broached in public. Michelle Obama acknowledged this in an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” in which she was asked if she fears for her husband’s life as a black candidate.

She said, “I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that as a black man Barack can get shot going to the gas station. You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

On a recent edition of The Morning Show, CBS’s Harry Smith, while interviewing Sen. Ted Kennedy, suggested the enthusiasm for Obama’s role as an agent of change makes him a potential target of an assassination. Smith inquired: “When you see that enthusiasm, though, and when you see this generational change that seems to be taking place before our eyes, does it make you at all fearful?”

Kennedy either did not get the point or avoided addressing the obvious reference to the assassination of Kennedy’s two older brothers, John and Bobby. Kennedy’s non-answer lead Smith to reiterate his ominous warning about how, “sometimes agents of change end up being targets, as you well know. And that was why I was asking if you were at all fearful of that.”

Therefore, did Hillary mis-speak or did the Main Street media [subliminally] plant the seed in her mind.

As I listened to her speak and later apologize for her words, I was reminded of the names of other Clinton associates. Vince Foster, who was found dead, apparently by his own hand. He reportedly, committed suicide by shooting himself in the right temple; he was found still clutching the gun in his right hand. It was further reported that Foster was left- handed.

Ron Brown, Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman, was reported to have died on impact in a plane crash. A pathologist close to the investigation reported he saw a hole in top of Brown’s skull resembling a gunshot wound. At the time of his death, Brown was being investigated by the Justice Department. He spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors.

These are just two names that come to mind. I know that there are many other persons, too numerous to list here who had been associates of the Clintons and met an untimely end.

Therefore, I asked myself, are the Clintons turning to “Subliminal Advertising?” Are they hoping that there is some deranged person out there who may have heard her message? Someone who hates Obama as much as the Clintons do. [My belief] Someone who is stupid enough to receive a subliminal message and act out Hillary’s fantasy. Will it be the Clinton miracle or all miracles?

A Subliminal suggestion is a great way to change your life or turn around a campaign with very little effort at all. All the Clintons have to do now is just sit back and wait. Are the Clintons thinking they should have issued just one more pardon before Bill left office?

I can hear Hillary now: “Bill and I were playing Gin Rummy in Chappaqua when we heard the news. It is a terrible tragedy for his family and America.”

“Yesss!”

And, that is my opinion. What’s yours?
