because he accomplished his goals.

MY ASS.

i have a fairly low opinion of the governor here in massychooshits (certainly doesn't help that he's a mormon republican). but last night (to no one's suprise), he announced that he was not going to run for re-election as governor of mass. it wasn't stated explicitly, but the strong belief is he will now attempt to run for president to succeed The Monkey Fuhrer.

that's fine. i'm glad he isn't going to try and campaign for president while in office, but what pissed me off was how he says that he accomplished everything he set out to do. is that so? how fucking shortsighted are you? if you are going to try and run for president, are you going to only look forward to the next 4 years? and then make an announcement that you've done all you set out to do and call it quits after 1 term? positions like this (or the presidency) require you to take a LONG TERM look ahead.

it has always been my understanding that the chief executive (of anything, state, country, business) that part of your job was to the help secure the future of the country/state/commonwealth/business. that you were responsible to to continue to come up with ideas that help bring success to the country/state/commonwealth/business. short term goals are fine, but what happens afterwards?

i look at even The Monkey Fuhrer (as scary as it sounds) and for all that i really don't like him, he (ok, the puppetmaster cheney) has ideas that he'd like to see us move in long after he is out of office. the president of the organization where i work isn't looking forward to just next year, but she is looking forward to the continued success of our organization 5 and 10 years out. regardless of whether she is there or not 5 or 10 years from now. look at private colleges. look at private schools. the headmaster of my high school isn't looking to just the next year. but 5 and 10 and 20 years down the road. the success of the school years from now depend on decisions and ideas he make now.

it is your responsibility to secure the future of the commonwealth mitt, and you failed. you say you love this job. bullshit. the only long term goal you have succeeded in is using the office of governor to place you into a better position to run for president.

so thanks for leaving us with our pants around our ankles. fuck you very much mitt. and if it came down to it, i'd even consider voting for hillary over you....

now i feel dirty...
