Run?

What you folks consistently forget is that the average American doesn't want someone who'll follow the Constitution to the letter.
The only folks who truly want me anywhere near the Oval Office are you folks -- mostly.
If I were to reach the Oval Office tomorrow and veto every-stinking-unConstitutional bill to cross my desk, two things would happen:
1) The Federal oppression and burden on the average American would decrease dramatically; and
2) The average American would hate my guts.
They say they're all for the Constitution, but watch what happens when I kill Fed funding for Yellowstone Nat'l Park.
They're all for the U.S. Con., but depriving those starving babies in Africa of U.S. Federal funds? Monster!
Do you really think the average American would stand for me vetoing WIC?
Do you think I could survive once I approved a bill to rebuild the Port Of New Orleans (Interstate Commerce), but vetoed any bill to rebuild residential neighborhoods in the same city?
Since the TSA and Homeland Security report to directly to me, they'd be history two minutes after I locate the White House phone book. The average American would haul off and burn an effigy of me in front of the Lincoln Memorial that night -- because without DHS and TSA he wouldn't feel "safe".
Everybody in the United States would be walking or driving until the airlines figure out how to do their sodding jobs without Federal funding. And until the airlines get that figured out, everyone doing the walking and driving would hate my guts. Personally.
President LawDog vetos the budget for Airport Safe Areas -- Planes falling out of the sky! Terrorists running amuck! Dogs and cats sleeping together!

To hell with that business.
The American people have gotten, now have, and will continue getting, the President they deserve.
