In the auditorium at Caesar Place the room is packed with people, cigarette smoke fills the air, the crowd is extremely noisy, the combatants are standing in their corners,the announcer approaches the middle of the ring and the microphone is lowered from the ceiling. The announcer grabs the microphone, clears his throat and begins to speak.

Laies and gentlemen, welcome to the greatest fight that has ever taken place in the United States of America. In the corner to my left is the challenger, he is wearing black and blue trunks, he also represents the Congress of the United States of America, President Barack Obama. Half the crowd stands and cheers wildly.

In the opposite corner wearing red, white and blue trunks are the people of the United States of America, They want their country back, lower taxes, less government intervention, people in government that are not professional politicians or crooks and capitalism. Will the combatants please come to the center of the ring.

President Obama and a Representative of the people walk to the center of the ring. The two combatants try to stare each other down, with no success. The announcer then goes through the rules of the contest. Both of you will meet at the center of the ring, you will both be handed microphones, you will take turns asking the other contestant one question at a time and the other contestant has three minutes to answer the question.

The one that asked the question has one minute to refute the answer. Then the other combatant will ask a question. Are there any questions? Both combatants just stare at each other saying nothing. The announcer then instructs both men to go to their corners and wait for the bell to ring. As both contestants walk to their corners, two microphones are lowered from the ceiling.

The bell rings, both men come to the center of the ring, grab their microphones and breath deeply. The announcer says; the President has the honor to ask the first question, Mr. President please begin. President Obama- The country wanted change, I gave them change. US Representative- Does change mean spending more money than all Presidents before you spent when you add all their spending together? President Obama wobbles in his knees. Announcer- Mr. Presidency? President Obama- Are you positive your figures are correct. Announcer- A question can not be asked to rebuttal. Mr. Representative, it is your turn to ask a question. Representative- How many people have you nominated to run things that have tax problems, I'll throw in Charles Rangle also? the President falls to one knee but gets up quickly.

President Obama- I m,m,m, may have made some errors b,b, but I believe things have been straightened out. Representative- Don't you still have Timmothy Geithner as head of the Treasury Department, which controls the IRS. He is a tax cheat. President Obama is finding it difficult to stand but manages to speak. President Obama- We inherited the p,p,problems the Bush administration left us. Announcer- That wasn't the question Mr. President. President Obama- They had the wrong thing on the tele-pprompter. I, I, I w,w, want to sayyyy. The President falls to the ground and is heard saying; change, change, change...... The President is counted out and the people win.

Wouldn't it be great if this was reality?
