I'm Worn Out

I'm worn out...bushed. Campaign season -- as much as I enjoy stock car racing and professional hockey -- has exhausted me.
I want McCain to win. Obama scares the crap out of me. It's not Obama personally, it's all the crap he brings with him. All the Dem politicos and weepy-assed liberals that want to spread my earnings around to the general populous are waiting in the wings.

I can hear it now:

"President Obama, Sir. Teenagers of non-working and former mortgage-holding American families have a high incidence of cell phone cauliflower ear. They need free health care to stop this horrible epidemic!"
"Why don't we wrap free medical care around a larger program for everyone under 25?"
"That's great, Mr. President. While we're at it, why don't we expand the program to include the 30+ divorced American women with creeping gynocological problems?"
"We can't discriminate against their husbands, can we?"
"No, Mr. President. Men have problems as well with post-marital lack of of regular sex. They should be included too. Free Viagra for all!"
"What about empty-nesting parents of college students? Aren't they at psycological risk?"
"Yes, Mr. President. We should expand this program to include psych care as well, and probably bump the age up to the late forties or early fifties."
"Excellent thinking and analysis. Bringing you on board was a master stroke."
"It was your idea, sir."
"I know. I'm the chosen one, you know."
"I know, sir."
"What about the 50 - 62 year old citizens?"
"Well, Mr. President, they are the highest wage earners and the last of the high income taxpayers. We can't include them in our health care plan. They pay obscenely high insurance rates and help defray taxpayer costs."
"Of course, I should have known. What's next on the agenda?" 
"Israel, sir. We can save some serious budget ching if we cut them off..."
"Good thinking. I'll call that Ach-mid-a-john guy and see what he thinks...do you think he can wait until after supper?"
