OMG. Scary crisis. In this chair.

That would be the emotional crisis I experienced in my living room chair watching Sunday afternoon football. Yay, the Eagles won. Yay, Washington won. Damn, the Steelers lost. And more damn, I kept on seeing this extremely stupid - I mean scary - McCain ad.

Think about it. Obama's experience is legislative. Not executive. Now McCain's experience is... let me think a minute. Oh yeah, legislative. And military. Not executive. But that means no matter who we elect, our next President will be without executive experience when facing his first crisis in The Oval Office Chair! Da-da-da-dum!!

Now I'm really scared. We need a President with some serious executive experience. Presidential type executive experience. OMG, now it is so clear that the safest person to elect as president would be a past president. No, wait a minute. They're all too old. Did the Reagans have some kids who grew up to be executives? If Chelsea becomes an executive and then later wants to run... stop, get a grip. Who can save us now?

Okay, really. Calm down. The Vice President might have some influence on the man in The Chair. Maybe we can find an experienced mayor who earned the confidence of the common Joes back home in say, Alaska. Oh! Oh! I know one! Damn again. In other news today The Anchorage Daily News endorsed Obama. In fact, the executive skills of the executive from Alaska are so mavericky, so roguey that she doesn't inspire the support of own campaign team. I don't think madame executive diva is exactly who we are looking for.

Wait, wait, I've got it. We can look at the executive decision-making skills being used by the candidates right now, while they are campaigning. Let's take a look at their campaign strategies.

Obama is using the skills that just might win an election or say, lead a nation. Stay calm under attack, offer us ads that define the issues we need to face and propose intelligent solutions.

McCain is using the scary name-calling-making-stuff-up skills that just might win against Bart Simpson in a spooky Halloween smackdown.

It's alright folks. I think it is clear which candidate is ready for a crisis in that chair in the oval office. Now we just have to elect him.
