President Pretend Day

Once a year we have one day that is set aside for remembrance and honor of the Presidents of the United States. Thinking back I have never sat down on a President's Day to remember the present and past Presidents. It seems to me that the majority of Americans, including myself, just enjoy the day for it's addition to our weekend. I don't think anything is wrong with that but I believe there is a solution that will fix this broken holiday.

I'd like to propose that instead of making this a day in which we think about our presidents, we make it a day in which we all pretend that we are the President! It would be awesome. Dressing up is optional, but ditching out on administrative duties isn't. Everyone would wake up and have a meeting in which they'd have to make really tough decisions that would alter the lives of people you've never met. Around lunch time you could imagine yourself spilling some coca-cola on the desk in your very own white house. In the evening, you'd watch some television and than go to a fundraiser dinner.

During my President pretend day I'd give people handshakes and always have a smile at the ready. I'd go hang out by the pool at Camp David and than jog around town with a group of secret agents always at the ready. Shouting out that I am the President would be necessary every now and than just so others knew that I was the President and not them. Oh, and if I had to pretend to be one certain President. I would pick Abraham Lincoln, except that I would pretend that I dodged the assassination bullet and went on to become one of the greatest President this country has known.

One last thing...does anyone else think that it's funny that we have a mountain with the faces of Presidents carved into it?
