let the polling season begin!

There was a poll taken recently- how surprising!- about which Candidate parents would rather have teach their children. Of course, Mr. Obama was the winner. I would much rather have a teacher full of charisma, hope, and possible terrorism than one who would fall asleep during reading time and tell the class that the fundamentals of their education are strong when nobody gets a passing grade. On the first day of class, Mr. Obama would probably have the children write down what kind of change they believe in to get to know his students better. Mr. McCain… well, he’d be taking a nap. A supporter of Mr. Obama said that he could see him as a better teacher because “Obama has a little more of an open mind, maybe because he's a black man.” … Assuming all black men are more open-minded? However, there are still Mr. McCain supporters, who claim that he would be a great teacher because he “bounced back from his captivity during the Vietnam War.” He has chairs in seven houses now. I didn’t have a chair once at a birthday party, but nobody heard me complaining about it. It’s a chair. Mr. McCain could’ve sat on the floor; he didn’t have to stand the entire five and a half years.
Another poll suggested that people would also rather watch a football game (that’s “football” in the real sense of the word, not the one said with a funny accent) with Mr. Obama. Remember what happened the last time we picked a President we’d like to have a beer with? Polling people need to be a little more careful and maybe have a warning label on the front- “When voting in the real world, make sure you vote for the Candidate you would like to run your country, not one you would play beer pong with.”
Who the hell comes up with these polls anyway? They need to be slapped, and not in a good way.
