Farmer For President

By the time November gets here, most of us will have brains turned to mush from all the political garbage that is about to happen. I don’t know about you, but I have reached the point, that I just put the political garbage out with the trash everyday.

After listening to all the rhetoric, I have again come up with the perfect presidential candidate. A farmer. Farmers know how to make something good out of very little to work with. They know how to fix stuff, like tractors. I really admire people that can fix tractors.

Farmers know good times and bad times. They survive when all around them is nothing but bad. They have to plan without knowing all the variables like weather, planting and reaping cost and what the market will be for their crops when and if they produce. Basically, they have to be scientists, economists, gamblers, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, veterinarians, meteorologists, doctors, welders, carpenters, lawyers, and labor experts. They work from sun up to sundown and sometimes longer. They are focused on getting the job done.

Back when the country began, we had farmers that became framers of the Declaration and Constitution. That worked out well. We need another farmer now.

Besides, I think it would be neat to have a president that wore a barn coat and boots in the White House. At least we would all have something to eat.
