Please, no Bush, no Clinton

I have one New Year’s wish and that is for Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton both to go away.

The United States does not need any more Bushes or Clintons running this country.

What we need is leadership and bipartisanship, not dynasty families. I beg of the American people to reject these retreads and show some courage, intelligence and imagination and vote for somebody new.

The U.S. is not an oligarchy and we do not need and I do not want dynasty families running my country. I ask the media to stop anointing the so-called front runners.

Simply put, the United States needs another Bush or Clinton like Uncle Sam needs a hole in his head.
