The Governor Gets the Bad News

The Governor Gets the Bad News By Elton Camp Since President Obama can’t run again The presidency is open for anyone to win The salary’s okay, but nothing so great But the benefits would be hard to hate In free, public housing POTUS resides And is supplied a long, black limo besides He never has to mow the yard or weed A plumber’s on staff to meet any need Another bonus that is extremely neat He has Camp David as his own retreat A staff of servants are at his command A fine jet’s ready to use on his demand Chris Christie thought all that was so fine “Oh, how much I wish that job were mine!” But he didn’t welcome with the same delight Finding POTUS pays for his food--every bite

He looked like he was well on his way to DC until Bridgegate surfaced. Good write.

Right. I don't know if he can overcome that or not. Likely not. Thanks for reading. Elton
