How Many Ex-Presidents Does It Take To Screw In a Light Bulb?
Nobody’s Opinion; Tonight, as I was listening to Jimmy the peanut Carter ostracizing for a whole hour it seemed on CNN about how vicious the Jews were, how they were stealing land from the Palestinians, depriving these poor people from food, water, housing, all for the greed of a few Jews, I was amazed that the man would not be called up for being an anti-Semite.
He sounded like the reincarnation of a Nazi general. Jimmy Carter, by all accounts and his own words, blames the Jews for all the problems in the Middle East.
Maybe he had just come from that same bar that Mel Gibson was at.Â
He gets by with it because he has that innocent southern face.
It seems if you reach the pinnacle of becoming a United States President, you are pardoned from anything. Unless of course, you happened to be named George W. Bush.
What is it with these Ex-Presidents?
There used to be a protocol where Ex-Presidents just went back to their home towns and kept their mouths shut. Most Americans liked it that way. Sure, it was hard on their egos to give up all that power, and trips on Air Force One…but, they were SUPPOSE to believe in our American system.
It was the American way we were most proud of. Serve your term and hand power over to the next guy. That WAS the big point in the Constitution…to keep power from getting entrenched. The founders did not want all these Ex-Presidents running around, second guessing and attacking the next guy.
But, then again…they didn’t have television.
While Jimmy was talking, flashing by below him was the announcement that Daddy Bush was going to go to Mexico to represent the Untied States and be there for the inauguration of the New Mexican President. To reassure that everything goes as plan with the merging of the two countries. I wonder what he is being paid, don’t you?
Hopefully, he will not eat the tacos. Â
What do they do? Do all the Ex-Presidents get together and say things like “Hey, I’ll handle Jordan; you take the guy in Mexico. George, you go take a trip, and send your father down to handle the negotiations in Mexico. Jimmy will get on CNN and get us back into the democratic peace talks?â€
“Oh, and by the way, make sure Bill gets to Tony Blair birthday party. “
Has anyone noticed how OLD these guys are? What is Jimmy…in his eighties?
Can’t we set a retirement age for them?
And can we PLEASE stop calling them all—Mr. President?
There is only ONE President. When they are out of office they should be called Mr. Carter, and Mr. Clinton, and Mr. Ford…or Former President Numbers…42, 43…etc.
Or hey you…for all that they’ve done to us.
BUT the name Mr. President should be reserved for only one…the one serving.
I don’t know why this bugs me, but it does.
We hear today that Bill Clinton came in above his wife in popularity for running for President. Just the fact that he was included on the list shows how much the office of the Presidency is turning into the old men’s’ club for rulers who can’t let go of power.
But, subliminally, when Hillary finally gets her party’s nomination, in order to get elected, Bill will be seen much more than she will. She would not get far without him.
He will actually be elected again, through his wife, or as he once said, “Vote for one, and get two.â€
Jimmy Carter will then get some kind of cabinet position.
I can see it all now; they need to create a huge Armageddon in the Middle East,(the old, create a problem and then come in with the solution power play) so that when Hillary is elected, Bill Clinton will be sent over to broker a peace deal with Jimmy Carter at his side. They will then “save†the earth from destruction.
The U.N. will throw a big party for Bill, and everyone will kneel and kiss his hand.
Not only can these men not get out of the sixties, but both Clinton and Carter are just dying to get back to brokering the peace in the Middle East, something neither one of them were good at when they had the chance, even though they each got a shot.
Bill would then finally get his Nobel Peace Prize, and then we will all be nuked. Marshal Law will come about, and Hillary and Bill will rule forever, maybe even alternating with the Bush family.
The one thing that is consistence about the Democrats is— you can be sure that whatever it is that they accuse the Republicans of, they are doing.
It always works.
Well, what to do? I say, if there are power hungry men trying to manipulate a new world communist order, a one world government…
Then we’d better make sure we the people develop the plans for it first.
I say the first rule we make in our WE THE PEOPLE new world order is—term limits for all, and permanent retirement for Ex-Presidents forever.
Nobody’s Perfect— Hillary has one very big hit against her. All the democratic top leaders: Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore….were southerners. It makes them more likable, and that down home sweet southern charm helps them get elected.
Hillary couldn’t be southern if she tried, which means her best bet for VP would be Edwards. Wesley Clark, who wants to be just anything in power would probably move to Mississippi if he thought he had a shot.
Look for Hillary to acquire a southern accent, and showing up at Nascar races.
Nobody Knows— Just how in the world these Ex-Presidents are staying fit for so long. They clearly expect, by the way they act, to live beyond 150 years old, and I think it will happen.
Nobody Cares— Even if Bill Clinton lives to be that old, he will still insist he was very proud to be impeached, because he was protecting the Constitution. By that time, everyone will believe him, the ones who know better will be dead.
Nobody Wins—All these Ex-Presidents, running all over, all acting like THEY are still President, it’s getting very confusing, and very detremental to our….wait, what exactly are we?
With all these guys hanging on to power, we will never win anything. No wonder we are in the dark. But, then again, maybe that’s the plan.

I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in your yucky brown, one rink up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life;drummer/singer/keyboards---but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing...depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents...but that really doesn't make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS...which I have more of than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined, mostly political. Hopefully other nobodys will put their opinions on my site. But if you are a sombody...you're more than welcomed to help out. I will try to prove that sometimes nobody knows the answers, sometimes nobody cares, sometimes nobody wins, and most importantly...NOBODY is perfect. Please bear this in mind when you read my thoughts. I don't mean to offend nobody, it's all in good fun. | More from Joyanna Adams
Stumble It!
Now, that’s a great idea, send them all to Dubai and then have them in a sitcom. Jimmy Carter looks a lot like Don Knots. Bill Clinton could be the mayor, Daddy Bush could be the sheriff, and soon to be ex George W. could be the town good ol boy.
Or maybe invent an “parliment game” where they could all compete everyweek.
Good idea amfortas.
Hahahahahaha. I get to like your absurdities more every day, Joyanna. There are a group of constructed island off the beach in Dubai (I think) shaped like the countries of the world. Maybe all the ex leaders can go there and play in the sand. I would include Oz’s own Paul Keating who did more for improving the range of dictionaries whilst reducing the conduct of Parliament to a shambles, and Gough Whitlam who had a great line in National financing via Egyptian moneylenders. (You’ve probably never heard of them. No one knew Oz existed before 5 years ago. We were keeping our great continent a secret until these loudmouth louts came along). These two over here are constantly hogging the limelight, making ‘pronouncements’. Add Tony Blah who is about to retire (before he gets thrown out)and Gorby, and Henry K, maybe even Mugabe – he must be going soon, shirley – and they can all set up international incidents, play peacemaker, invade one another, lie like Dicky Mint trim sheets etc. We would have to add in a bit of feminine pulcritude so Maggie T can go too and that nice Mrs Bhutto who declared war on everyone in sight every forth thursday. It could be a new sitcom idea. Let’s call it ‘Friends’.
