The White House Thread

[Gabu]

Merry Christmas, and my God Bless You and May God Bless Atlasia.

What about my god?  I want my god to bless me!



I like the new course of action much more.  That I probably can support, although I personally would like a simple high tariff over a full embargo.

[Gabu]

I didn't advise an embargo on textiles, just tariffs.  If you want an embargo push for it, but don't attribute it to me.

Sorry, I thought you told advised me to embargo textiles. My mistake.

An embargo is not the same as a tariff, if that's the confusion.  An embargo is flat-out refusing to accept something.  A tariff is accepting something, but slapping extra taxes on it to make it cost more.

(President PBrunsel approaches the podium as cameras flash.)

Once again a capable and amazing person has left my administration. Peter Bell is a Constitutional Scholar like no other. He was brilliant when it came to the Constitution, but being the Statesman he is, he chose that he could not run for ofice and be Attorney General at once. I am grieved by his resignation, and I feel he has been our finest Attorney General in Atlasia's proud history.

I nominate for this office a man who has had more expierience that almost any one else in Atlsia. I nominate former Senator Harry of Mississippi to be the next Attorney General.

With his expierience as a Vice President, Senator, and Preist Pro Tempe he has the Constitutional knowledge and know how to lead our new Constitutional Convention. I hope toi work with him so that we may write this new Constituion quickly and efficiently.

(President PBrunsel leaves the podium as the press yell questions in a disorderly fashion.)

Well, that was an unexpected choice, but after thinking about it, it's a good one.

Good show.

[Gabu]

I applaud our president's choice of action and wish him the best.

I now officially nominate DanielX for Game Moderator.

John Ford also needs you to nominate a new Secretary of Defense, Mr. President.

[Gabu]

I now officially nominate DanielX for Game Moderator.

I am grateful for the nomination. Does it have to be run through the Senate, or can I whip out humorous and completely unrealistic scenarioes now?

I'm not actually sure if anything in the Constitution says a word about the GM... if anyone could point us to something (if anything exists), that would be helpful.

[Gabu]

Er, what happens if Colin wins his senate run?

[Gabu]

Er, what happens if Colin wins his senate run?

We don't have a Sec Def until John Ford's term is ended.

Oh, whoops, right, I forgot that this was just an interim position.

Carry on.

[Gabu]

How about htmldon or John Dibble.

I personally like the sound of Associate Justice John Dibble.

Of course, I suppose he has the position of Magistrate with the Southeastern government.

[Gabu]

(Sighs)

I can't prove my worth If I'm not allowed to serve....

Actually, I think you'd be great too.

Given that John Dibble already has a position, I'll go with you.

[Gabu]

The fact that we are actively litmus testing people on the basis of their political beliefs is disturbing.

Yes, I think this is very true.  As was said before, for a Supreme Court justice to be truly great, you should be able to read a decision from the justice and have no clue whether the person was white or black, liberal or conservative, male or female, etc.  We should be hiring people based on how well they can do their job, not on their political ideology.

You conservatives are supposed to be against affirmative action, darn it.
