2012 Presidential Candidate

I have to admit, I'm hard-assed enough to agree with most of these. Do I believe Bill Cosby actually wrote this? No. Do I care? No.

Subject: 2012 Presidential Candidate       Bill  Cosby has a great way of distilling things. Looks like he's  done it again!    I  WISH WE HAD A CANDIDATE WITH THIS  PLATFORM!! I  HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN  CANDIDATE.   HERE  IS MY PLATFORM: (1) 'Press 1 for English' is  immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it  or wait at the border until you can. Lena's note: I'm willing to be more generous, but I certainly wouldn't make many of the acommodations I see now. When you can't find a job unless you're bi-lingual, there's a problem. (2) We will  immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to  straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports.  We will use the 'Wal-Mart  's  policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' (3)  When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on  it. (4) All retired military personnel will be required  to man one of our many observation towers on the southern  border (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not  to fire on    SOUTHBOUND  aliens. Just the retirees? Umm...wait. That would include my DH. Besides, what will we do about the ones coming by water, like they do here in Florida? (5) Social security will immediately return to  its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't  getting nuttin out. Neither the president nor any other politician will be able to touch it.. (6)  Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of  the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of  urinalysis and a passing grade. (7) Professional  Athletes--Steroids. The FIRST time you check positive you're  banned for life. (8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish  method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand.  There is no more life sentences. If convicted of murder, you  will be put to death by the same method you chose for your  victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc. (9) One export  will be allowed, Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of  wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil. This one's my favorite. (10)  All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately  cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and  ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world,  we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a  disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether  it's a worthy cause. (11) The Pledge of Allegiance will  be said every day at school and every day in  Congress. (12) The National Anthem will be played at  all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings,  etc. Sorry  if I stepped on anyone's toes GOD  BLESS AMERICA .   Bill  Cosby
