Viktor for DOTUS

July 7.  According to the crazy calendar, today is Tell the Truth Day.  As a result it will be a day that politicians will have to keep their mouths closed.  Honestly.  I suppose I shouldn't paint ALL politicians with the same brush - but in looking at the current state of the US elections, I don't think truthfulness is exactly a strong attribute.

What a circus.  My human is preparing the spare bedroom for the steady stream of visitors escaping from the US.  It will be a mass migration.  My human becomes extremely agitated watching the news each night.  It's interesting to watch the candidates.  They pander to every religious group, every race, every gender, every occupation, every age group ... BUT - so FAR I have seen no candidate speak DIRECTLY to people owned by dogs.  Hello?  Who are their campaign managers?  Don't they KNOW how many dogs are out there?  Mind you, there is not much either candidate could say to make me want to vote for them.  I joked months ago that I should run for President.  Right about now, I think I would have a good shot!  Here are the reasons why I would make a good DOTUS:

• I'm adorable (who can resist a PON?)
• I'm full of energy - I will need it to put up with Congress and the Senate
• I always have a happy-go-lucky attitude - which would make me popular with other countries
• I would put together an outstanding "cabinet" - full of treats and goodies
• I encourage dynamic conflict resolution (like with Velcro dog) - and I usually LET him win
• I'm motivated - as evidenced by my constant attempts to get into the room where the toys are stored
•  I am excellent at decision making (when treats are involved)
•  I will defend my land - from terrorist ducks

We DO have a SLIGHT problem with the fact that I was not BORN in the US.  But my human was - so that should count for something.

While my rambling is clearly a joke - there are no doubt people who HONESTLY would vote for me at this point.  And THAT'S the truth! 

Time to begin my campaign...
