I mentioned in a post earlier in the week how Bill Clinton said that his wife, if elected president would send him and Former President Bush out to the world to “smooth things over”. It appears, that may in fact, not be the case as the Current President Bush (are you almost confused yet?) had this to say in a press conference earlier today:

Well 41 didnâ€™t think itâ€™s necessary, it sounds like itâ€™s going to be a one-man trip

The first thing I want to know is when did it become cool to refer to presidents by their number only, and even though I haven’t been elected president yet, can I go by a number as well? (42 came to mind, but that one was taken so I think I’ll go with the number 125366100). Its nice to see that Georgie Boy feels that his proud papa will stand by his son’s side and not make it look like we spent the past four years in a “haha jokes on you” kind of state.

Also in other news, we’ve lost a GOP contender (albiet, not an important one…) in the race for president. Rep. Tom Tancredo announced his run was over and then he fully endorsed Romney saying “All this time i thought people were calling him a moron!” (that last bits a joke… der)

I’ve posted this comment on a few blogs. I’m not working for Romney, I just feel that he hasn’t received a very fair shake among many conservatives thus far. Romney is clearly now the anti-illegal immigration candidate. What candidate can win the support of ALL conservatives…fiscal, defense, AND social? Mitt’s the man!

Have you consider that 41 is also 43′s father. It may not be completely appropriate for him to refer to his father, the former president as dad in the press, especially as it relates to him acting in a public capacity. On top of that, I know unless I am introducing my father, or mother for that matter, to someone I do not refer to them by name, I use mom, dad, mother, or father. So by using the number number 43, avoids either using the familiar father name or his actual name. It makes me wonder if the Adams had the same problem (number 2 and number 6).
