Inauguration Day 2013

By Nicholas Contompasis

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court raises his right hand instructively to the newly elected President, it’s January 20th 2013. The last hope for the free world raises his hand and repeats “ I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States ” while a thunderous reunited Israeli - U.S. strike force attacks Iranian oil, gas and nuclear facilities.

He goes on to repeat “and will to the best of my ability”, as targeted members of the last administration are arrested for treasonous acts against the state and from a third story open window the cross hairs of a snipers scope zeroes in on the fat face of a Venezuelan dictator.

The President-elect now just seconds away from the most powerful job in the world glances over at his beautiful “hockey mom” of five Vice President and finalizes his oath with “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” while the U.S. Pacific fleet sends North Korea into a state of panic with surgical attacks rendering them defenseless. As the strength of the retired powerful General’s voice now President splits the cool January air like Abe Lincoln's axe on a giant oak, America eagerly waits.
The new hope for freedom and democracy now lowers his right hand and turns with a gentle smile to address his nation with the power and confidence that has long been missed. For the 45th President of the United States has arrived.
