Barack Obama and I really have a lot in common. Like the President of the United States (POTUS), Currently Raising children Alone as President (CRAP) is a difficult job. Similar to President Obama, as president of my family, I rarely have an approval rating over 49%. I have tackled budget reform and am still in perpetual debt. I have very lax immigration laws, as every weekend there are migrant teenagers sleeping on my floors and sofas. I don't have an oval office to do my strategizing, just a bathroom. Regrettably, the secret service follows me in there too. Her name is Maya. She is seven. I have implemented an energy efficiency bill that has been ignored, and the deficit increases. I have a lovely healthcare plan. Omamacare. I kiss boo boos and cure all other ailments with a bubble bath and hot cocoa. This plan makes the world a happier and healthier place. But only for some. I view all people as equals. (Except for Rush Limbaugh.) I am strongly for gun control in our home. Each time I wrestle a cell phone away from a grounded teenager, I am reminded to never sway on this issue as I'd be a goner. I favor peace over war, and have zero tolerance for terrorism. If anyone threatens my family, there will be shock and awe, with or without backing. I don't believe anyone needs to show an ID to vote in our home. We are a democracy. All of my ideas are challenged relentlessly, but just like the POTUS, I have full veto power. I am the change. With so little backing that I can't even enforce bedtime. I am patiently awaiting my Nobel Peace Prize. Let me be clear, and make no mistake, This CRAP is hard work!
