Steve Robin Today, I am announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. Everyone else is, why not me?I have cleared it with my family. The kids don't care; they are busy with their own lives and wish me well. Since none of them does, or is in position to do, business with the federal government, that is not an issue. The wife is a little less sure of the idea, but agrees that if she does not have to negotiate with Russia, she's OK with it. She also insists that none of my female aides be ridiculously attractive and at my age (89) I can handle that.Clearly, I have a name recognition problem, but a few weeks on social media should solve that. I figure my (actual) background for the job is at least adequate—10 years in DC as congressional aide, foreign trade rep and speech writer. And in state government as a county attorney (for Loudoun, no less).
