This was classic.

So, Obama clinched and … now there’s talk of an Obama/Hillary ticket.

Any thoughts?

Create a your best caption for this picture…

“Democratic Party tries to court the Pentecostal Right.”

Can you do any better?

You can’t turn anywhere and not hear about the candidates running for office. Democrats or Republicans, it doesn’t matter. They’re everywhere: on TV, newspapers, internet and signs in people’s front yards.

These candidates are basically giving up 2+ years of their lives for this. They’ll be spending tons of money (their’s and other people’s) and tons of time away their from family. Not to mention the fact that they’re opening themselves up to constant public scrutiny while trying to make everyone happy. All this to simply a vote. And if they do happen to get elected (which most won’t), then they’re on the job 24-7. And that means more time away from family, more spending of other peoples money, and more living to please others in order to stay where you are at.

It just doesn’t seem worth it to me. Maybe I’m just not idealistic enough (or too cynical).

So I was thinking… What would I be willing to give up two years of my life for?

Missions (i.e. the Lord) would be my first answer. Though I’d really have a hard time leaving my family for 2 years.  I can’t imagine not seeing my kids grow (physically, emotionally, and spiritually) over that 2 years. And the thought of not seeing my wife seems unbearable to me. Maybe that just means I don’t have faith enough. If I was called to, I would… but it would be a struggle. There is no second answer for me. I can’t see anything else on this earth being important enough to sacrifice 2 years with my family.

So, is there anything you’d give two years up for?

Continue to enjoy a laugh at expense of American politicians. Hey at least we can laugh, right?
