The United States of America, Presidential Election Result

I think I need to look at the ugly and sometimes down right nasty world of politics today, because today in the United States of America it is voting day. Because I live in a humble backwater of Great Britain this is not an event that will substantially change my life, but I can’t help but feel even if you live in the USA it will not substantially change your life. OK yes there are bound to be some directly affected by it all, but sometimes things do not always happen as you think they will anyway.

Interestingly both the candidates are keen to say that if you choose them then America will be great, now call me stupid but that is a bit vague to me, some folk think a rollercoaster is great and others a nice day out fishing for Steam Powered Goldfish in the garden pond. So when everyone says great they do not necessarily mean the same thing.  Maybe if instead of telling everyone America will be great they were to say vote for me and I will try to make everyone happy, have a pleasant as possible life and try and make it possible for as many of you as possible to do some stuff you want to do. 

You see all this great has overtones of the Roman Empire or the British Empire or all the other Empires (not the cinema’s) and as we all know history tells us they always end in tears and war and generally a lot a shouting and bad stuff.  

The other thing about a complex western society like the USA or even Britain is its very complicated, what you can do as a leader is a bit limited, in fact so limited that in the end one leader has no more choice than the next, and history will judge you not on what you did but on the circumstances that occurred while you we leader and that you could do little to change anyway. I think if America all turned round and said sod it we are all going to vote for Captain Nessman of the High Seas Cat instead at the end of four years things would look much the same. And I bet overseas visits would be much easier, Mr Putin is not going to get upset, and I bet he would go out of his way to be nice. . . . . . . He might even release Pussy Riot from jail (OK no he probably would not; he is not that sort of leader sadly).

So America as you all vote (you have a strange system of voting) I think you need to reflect on the fact that there are two candidates who really would make great leaders and be nice and friendly and loved by all, OK most, OK a few. . . . . .Yes OK nobody; who are not allowed to stand but might just have solved a few issues. One is a cat and the other is ME . . . . President Rob Z Tobor, you have to admit if nothing else President Rob Z Tobor of the United States of America has a rather cool ring to it.  . . . . . .. . . .. OK I accept   . . . . .. .AH mum says IDIOT.
