Looking Presidential

I heard a news commentator mention that Mitt Romney was the only candidate that looked presidential among the Republican Party hopefuls currently battling for the nomination. Interesting comment when you consider past great presidents. So I guess looking presidential is one of the most important qualities when running for President of the United States of America.

Since my name is also Mitt, I mention from time to time that the only difference between Mitt Romney and me is that he is handsome and rich. Other than that, we are alike in almost every other way. Another difference is that I would make a better president. In fact, there are millions of people in this country who would make a better president than any Republican or Democrat now on Capitol Hill!

Of course, the view from Washington DC is that we are all mushrooms and not one of us commoners could survive the glare of divine light and wisdom that emanates from our capitol and its inhabitants. In fact, that is the very reason that you must also belong to the Millionaire's Club to reside there. Being, quote, “handsome” is not enough. You must also be "rich" to be enlightened. These two facts also help keep the riffraff out of Washington. So knowing this begs the question; how did Abraham Lincoln become president?

I think I will change my name to Abraham. I would much rather compare my name to his than Mitt Romney. I in no way compare myself to Abraham Lincoln. He was a great man and history will never forget his name. I, for one, wish an Abraham Lincoln would pop out of the woodwork and become president. Of course, this is a pipe dream and we will be stuck with a handsome, rich, and enlightened one yet again. God help the mushrooms….

I’m just saying,

What’s in a Name?

Have you ever Googled your own name just for fun? I know it’s kind of egotistical and silly, but fun nevertheless. I tried it and was astounded at what I found. Everything that I have attempted in my short writing career is there in black and white. My books, blogs, correspondence, Twitter, Facebook…twenty pages of everything about Mitt Winstead! How in the world did this happen? I didn’t plan it and I certainly didn’t expect it.

You can’t even Google Mitt Romney without finding my name there also. In fact, poor Mitt R. comes in a pale second to this Mitt. Maybe I should run for president…it’s about time we get someone poor in the White House. I’ve got it; I’ll run on the Poor Platform as an Independent! Who better to represent the poor middle class than a poor, unknown, middle class author? I have the integrity, energy and intelligence, so why not run? Oh, wait a minute – I don’t have the money, good looks, or charm. Crap, I don’t have the attributes that get people elected to public office. Too bad, I would have made a good president. Just as well, my dad always told me that people who work for the government are just the losers who couldn't make it in the private sector. It appears that may be so.

I am actually quite proud of what I found on Google. All my long hours of writing and promoting have not been in vain. Now if I could just get the world news broadcasters to do a piece on “Google Mitt Winstead.” I could become a celeb overnight and make millions. What a minute; I could do an ugly hair comb over, go to charm school and become a running mate for “The Donald.” Vice-President is good enough for me. A man has to know his limitations!
