My advise is for both candidates. Get a badass pet or two. Calvin Coolidge had pet lions.

“A great many presents come to the White House which are all cherished, not so much for their intrinsic value as because they are tokens of esteem and affection. Almost everything that can be eaten comes. We always know what to do with that. But some of the pets that are offered us are more of a problem. I have a beautiful black-haired bear that was brought all the way from Mexico in a truck, and a pair of live lion cubs now grown up, and a small species of hippopotamus which came from South Africa. These and other animals and birds have been placed in the zoological quarters in Rock Creek Park.”

The lion cubs—by the way—were named Tax Reduction and Budget Bureau.

Tell me that McCain couldn’t consolidate his image and his support by making a couple public appearances with pet lions in tow… especially ones named “Tax reduction” and “Budget bureau”.

Obama could do the same, with lions dubbed “decriminalize marijuana” and ”Jack Johnson”.
