The presidency has turned into a 24 hour WWE channel.

God forbid that a man or woman lands in the Oval Office and simply does the job that they were elected to.

God forbid that we don't cough up millions of dollars every week to send them golfing, or off to their country club.

God forbid that we elect someone who respects people, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or religious preferences.

That would suck compared to 24/7 "Apprentice."
