Oprah would try to solve America's problems by giving everyone a car. Wait a minute, isn't that what Cash for Clunkers was? Maybe we better find another candidate.

LOL. I love your comment about Oprah. I agree with you one-hundred-percent.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
I don't blame you for not voting. I think we need an honest candidate with no political agenda on one side or the other, since our country is so polarized. Oprah, like Obama and Hillary, is too far left. Cruz was too far right. Bernie was far too far left. Donald is far too uncontrolled and is somewhere up in the clouds. Where are the "presidents" like Eisenhower and Reagan? We trusted these men and believed they cared about the whole country, regardless of what state or city you lived in. Times were upbeat then. We felt patriotic.
Since Bush's wars and Obama's disasterous policies we now have a young generation HATING America. And the left leads them on, hoping to destroy our Judeo-Christian history and polite traditions. They have succeeded too well, and it's frightening.
Where are you, Mr./Ms. President? Where is the person who cares about America's future and has the Reaganesque ability to bring us TOGETHER?

Thank you. I like your thoughtful comments about our country. The first president I can remember was Eisenhower. He was a good president.
Comment from Dean Kuch
I voted in the last election, Anonymous Author. I feel it is an honor and my duty, as well as a great privilege and responsibility, as an American to do so.
But I didn't vote for Killary Clinton or The Donald.
I wrote my dog's name on the ballot as a write-in candidate.
I figured, Hey, what the heck, why not? She's honest and as loyal as the day is long. She doesn't take any crap off the "Big Dogs". She's pretty quiet, except for when someone is prowling around outside the house that shouldn't be.
As you yourself stated, it couldn't get any worse than it already is, right?
Good luck to you in the contest.

Thanks for reading and the funny comments. I wish I had thought of putting my favorite cat as the candidate.
she is clever and as smart as any of the candidates I saw running.

See? There ya go.
You're more than welcome and best of luck!

Hi there,
I agree with your sentiments about the poor choices on offer, but sadly that is how the game is played. None of the presidents were squeaky clean.
As for Oprah, advocating death to old white men won't do her any favours and in fact ruins her reputation in some ways too. It's hard to fight racism with racism...
I enjoy the rumours that 'The Rock' is going to run. That would be something to see...
All the best

Thank you for reading and commenting. I don't think Oprah would be a good candidate either. She would try to solve the world problems by giving everyone a car. LOL
Comment from Mame
This is so interesting for me as I live in Australia and we hear such different points of view re your President. Agree with you- why not have Oprah as President - she does appear to care about the real problems and gas the interests of women at hear heartbreaker. Good picture too!

I like your thoughts about our choices. Our family wanted Bernie.
He cares about the people. Look at T wanting to build a wall at
the expense of the dreamers. I'm glad T goes golfing but look
at the expense for secret service. Glad that T doesn't put his face
on the rock monument. Good entry. flylikeaneagle

Thank you. I hope Trump doesn't wind up on Mt Rushmore too.
Comment from Teri7
This is a very well written submission for the "I voted" prompt. You used very good descriptive wording and very good imagery with your words. It was a very hard decision to even think about voting. Best wishes in the prompt. Teri

Thanks for reading and commenting. I would have to at least respect someone to vote for them.
Comment from Joy Graham
I enjoyed your story about voting. I like your description of Trump as an overgrown child having temper tantrums. We Canadians enjoy hearing how the American people feel about the present situation of Trump as President. I've never been told I live in a shithole country before. Oy vay.

Thank you. We have a beautiful country and I love it. Our leadership is what is less than desirable.
Comment from Mustang Patty
Dear Anonymous Author;
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Since this is still a free country, you naturally had the right to NOT vote. Would we be worse off if Oprah were to run in 2010? We might not be here if things continue on as they are,
Just my opinion,

Thanks for your input on this. You might be right, we could be blown up by 2020.
Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
Now, some say Oprah might run for president in 2020. Well, who knows? At least Oprah is a much loved and admired individual. She has no experience as a politician but I bet she could learn fast. It couldn't get any worse than it already is, could it? '. I LOVE the idea of Oprah for president! If I was in the USA she would get my vote I love the idea of our first black lady president but I also think that Oprah would do a fantastic job! I am a Trump hater by the way, I preferred Obama. Kindest regards and well done love meia x
