My Presidential Endorsement

I don't use this space for politics much, but with the general election a month away, I decided who I want to be the next President. Barack Obama and John McCain do not do anything for me, and I am tired of all politicians and their policies. I think it is time this country looks to a different field to choose its leader, and I have the perfect candidate.
Bill Belichick. I can't stand the man, but I respect him. He knows how to win, and he is the head coach of the model franchise in the NFL right now. Here are some other characteristics that make him perfect for the job:

• Three-time Super Bowl winner who continually gets more out of his players than any of the other coaches in the league. With America struggling in several different areas, Belichick would be perfect to maximize the output of the people running those departments.
• Manages to have his team in a constant state of salary cap safety which seems to be one of the most difficult things to do in the present day NFL. Yet, he puts his money into players who are under-appreciated elsewhere, and he makes sure that the Pats manage the salary cap wisely. With the economy struggling, and a recession looming, he would be the perfect man to take this country's economy by the throat and get it to straighten out. Lenders and other executives that have put the economy in trouble would have to step into Mr. Belichick's office to receive their collective pink slips. Plus, he did major in economics in college, so he has that going for him, which is nice.
  
• Belichick would be great at dealing with foreign leaders. Have you ever seen one of his press conferences? It looks like his eyes could melt every reporter in the room. He could take that demeanor into any office around the world and have even the most corrupt leader shaking in their boots. Although, he would probably have to dress a little un-Presidential to get the job done (->).
• Everyone knows that the President is going to have to bend the rules every once in awhile in the best interest of American citizens. Well, Belichick is perfect at doing that. Whether its listing Tom Brady on the injury report every week for the past few seasons, or spying on the opposition, he knows how to get things done. Hell, he already took part in Spygate which, if you watched ESPN at all during that time, was at least as big as any Presidential "gate" that has happened in our country's history, and Belichick's explanation (a misunderstanding of the rules) was much better than any explanation a President has given when they get caught.
  
• He has already earned the respect of Randy Moss which has to be tougher than earning the respect of someone like Kim Jong II.
• Lastly, he is already familiar with the White House. He has already visited three times and probably knows his way around Pennsylvania Avenue better than McCain or Obama.
