the club needs a president

we need to elect someone for this incredibly important responsiblity

if you feel you are one for the job, state your case in this thread, or if you feel someone else would make a good president, state their case.

i do not think you are capable of being President because you cannot follow simple instructions such as "state your case in this thread"

My fellow clubbers,

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our club, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Clubbers have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, The Club has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.



So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Clubbers.

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our board -- a nagging fear that The Club's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, Fellow Clubbers: They will be met.

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends -- hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -- these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -- a recognition, on the part of every Clubber, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world; duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.



This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

This is the source of our confidence -- the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed -- why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent Mall, and why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of the Club's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:

"Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."

Clubbers. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

I think I am the perfect person to be the President of the Club. I'm an old school, Spurs Talker. My previous alter-ego midgetonadonkey is a legend and I'm badass.

I nominate myself for president. I have a final solution to all the club's problems and will liquidate all the mud people in here.

sounds like a good candidate :toast

[ChumpDumper]

what could it not be?Since there is no reason, it could not be anything.

If you don't have a reason, just say so. If you do, say what it is.

[Blake]

i thought kori was the president?
or is she God?

this is basically a theocracy.

we could all vote for a president just to have him/her struck down and banned by an omnipotent being.

you may as well start another favorite/best/awesomest poster type threads

[stretch]

Since there is no reason, it could not be anything.

If you don't have a reason, just say so. If you do, say what it is.

But it could be anything.

Reasons are not pertinent information at this point in time. The only thing that matters is that a president is neccesary for this forum.

Not on my watch...

I would like to nominate myself for President of the Club. I have prior experience leading a country.

[Nathan Explosion]

I have a belt buckle that says, "Baddest Man in Town."

No need for an election. How much do I get paid?

[Darrin]

If elected your president I will do nothing differently. I will maintain the standards of our forebearers while guiding us into the future. For this, I want a corner office with a window and an expense account.

My first order of business will be to get rid of these drab colors. It is time for the Club to show its American patriotism, and not look like some cheap version of Darth Vader's suit. The new heading will read: Los émbolos Hablan: El Club.

VOTE FOR ME!
