What should the president do on the first day in office? Walk in a parade? Give a Speech? Attend innumerable banquets and parties? How about this for a novel way to start the new job. Go to work!

New presidents have a transition team. I guess there is a lot to transition with such a large unwieldly government to take over. Here’s another novel idea. Streamline the government. The backbone of the country’s broken. We’re on the bridge to nowhere and we’re attending lavish parties while America is burning.

Many people say to me, “Bill, run for president. Implement your 20/20 Vision. You’re a Marine officer. You know leadership. It’s time for our first Marine president. It’s time to turn it around. Time to restore American exceptionalism.”

“Okay. I’m all in. Here’s what I would do on the first day in office.” (This would all be prepared and written beforehand. Now that’s transition. Order is not important since this all happens on the first day. Marine officers are masters of multitasking. That is not a problem. Many will argue that some of these changes cannot be put into effect because they need Congressional approval or they are unconstitutional. I accept that. I am not a rogue. I am sharing my optimistic blueprint to restore American exceptionalism. The alternative is dysfunction.)

Okay. That is enough to get started on for the first day. Should keep most of the government productive for now. Nevertheless, before I go to bed:

Now that is being presidential. Tomorrow, I will lay out my global strategy which will include the Middle-East and terrorism. Stay tuned.  I’m restoring American exceptionalism for you.

Finally, an author who brings you solutions, instead of problems.

Americans have lost faith in their overreaching federal government. “We the People” don’t need to be overregulated or have their taxes misspent. Americans are victims of a crumbling economy, high prices and stagnant wages. They view government as bloated and politicians as corrupt. They do not trust the leadership at any level. They see politicians of both parties as self-centered narcissists whose only objective is re-election. The author is like you, with one principal difference and 20 reasons for optimism. His “Vision” of America is “clear.” It is a vision of the Constitution and America the way it could be, the way it should be. The author’s eyesight is twenty-twenty.
