Opinion: Proclaim Obama to be King to avoid future elections

In response to Todd Blodgett’s latest column in the Globe Gazette:

Todd Blodgett

Once more the esteemed Todd Blodgett has dipped his pen into the font of reasoning of which explains our system of selection as to who will sleep in Lincoln’s bedroom for the next four years. Todd has forgotten that his well meant sermon is directed towards a population that finds going to the polls abhorrent.

Personally I find equality in the popular vote whether you live in American Samoa or on 47th Street in Manhattan. One vote for one person regardless of your address…it all adds up. The electoral college makes sense but somehow like sporting events, the team with the highest totals wins.

I, a real sage, can solve this dilemma once and for all. We change our form of government to a monarchy, proclaim Obama king with his family members inheriting the title as they do in England. No more expensive elections, no more 5 year political campaigns that make you want to vomit. We could save millions in health insurance that goes to the house and senate, plus exorbitant salaries. The population wouldn’t have to vote… they could stay on the bar stool and continue watching the game.

Makes sense to me.
