Shaun White For President

The first time I ever heard of Shaun White was, I think, at the 2003 Summer X-Games. In the parking lot of Staples Center were bumper stickers that read “Shaun White For President.”

After his amazing runs at the Vancouver Olympics, winning the gold medal on his first run, and then doing a second run and pulling off his new move, the “Double McTwist 1260″ and scoring 175 points out of a possible 50, he’s got my vote. Can Obama do a Double McTwist 1260? I don’t think so.

Here’s Shaun, in his custom half pipe built by Red Bull, practicing and perfecting his new trick:

Really, how tough is it being president? Shaun could solve all world issues in the half-pipe. Take Osama, President: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, and whatever drunk dude is running what used to be Russia right now, and “negotiate” with them with his snowboard. And think about it, how many world leaders wear a bandana on a regular basis? Isn’t it time??

Actually, I’m going to vote for Shaun, or maybe this guy. I’m having a tough time figuring out this dude’s stance on gay issues.
