The First Family
Modern Satire
My fellow Americans, you can count on me. To never give up on you. To never give on the American Dream. I have fought since I started politics. It was my very own dream to help lead this nation. I was just a boy from New York City learning politics. And I had the grades but I needed something else. I needed a good spouse. I needed a good mate to help me cross where I never cross and go where I never gone. And that was my wife Ellie Rebecca. She guided me with her thoughts and her mind. She guided me with wisdom. She taught an old boy from New York City how to become a leader. And though we have our times. She help create this leader you see before you. And together we can change America. We can change the future. We can make a difference. Believe in us. I hoping to be your next President of the United States, Mattius Primous or for short Matt Primous. And there we were together on the campaign trail fighting for our nation and family. Ellie make sure we prayed three times a day together. And whenever God will bless us. And we both grew closer and closer. She fought for me and I fought for her. And even when the press got ugly and mean we grew stronger. I was more in tune with my wife than the actual job of being president. My wife was the president I would say many times not just only to earn bonus points from her. But if I can go back to when we were dating. I remember something terrible happen to my wife Ellie and she needed me. I brushed it off ignorantly and not caring much because I thought she was another woman trying to use me. She was persisted after calling one day ongoing. I finally answered nervously and afraid. She rebuked me and she told me that she needed me and she did not understand why I was ignoring. She was just about to give up. And I was about to cry and I told her over and over and over again that I was sorry. And I said I would never let her down again. And I told her that I love her and that she is like my mother and grandmother as godly as they are. And I did everything to make it up to her. I made sure the wedding happen and took place on January 16th. I gave her a dowry because I wanted her all to myself and I loved her that much. She would always say forever is the deal. She would call and I would call early morning, late morning, evening and late evening. We were inseparable. And I love the way she blow kisses, I love my baby kisses more than anything. She was way better than me. And I love everything about her. I took good care of her like she looked after me. We were inseparable. And now the campaign over, we watched in our home with her four children. I fell asleep on my wife's shoulder. We won, we got to 297 first. And we had a pizza party after the press conference. And we took a picture of our sons with me and our daughters with Ellie. Ellie became fit and thin and she look as beautiful as she did in her first pic she sought to me. It was our fifteen anniversary coming up and so we took a trip to Mount Vernon, the Mount Vernon of George Washington and I re-propose to her. And the kids saw on TV, and she said yes and kiss me a thousand times like Luther Vandross song.. It was exciting time and we enjoyed most of it especially being together and changing the world.

The Story of Maguerita Matthews
Life was hard back then. Not like it was today. People had to work for what they wanted. People had to fight for what they wanted. Jobs weren't handed out. You had to show yourself approved like the Good Book says. And you had to be smart, have a good head on your shoulders and think for yourself. That's was my life, Maguerita Matthews. I remember working on the farm with my family and quitting school at an early age. My mother and father taught me how to be a farmer. I would work with workers and help gather and plant. It was no easy job but I did it. I did it for the family. I did it because I was told to. I did it because it was life. And there were days I dreamed about going to school and doing something great. But I knew that farming is something great, something you can pass down to your children, something you can say you have done and lived through it. My younger siblings got to finish school you see because Daddy was sick when I went to school. He lost his other job and my mother wanted to make ends meet. My mother took over the farm and she recruited relatives as well as me. That was the life of the country, working hard in the field all day and night. The farm was the center of the life back then. Most people had jobs there. Most people started out on a farm. Things were simple back then. Then long after my father got better and eventually passed. My mother got a huge insurance check and she gave me half of it. And she told me that she was selling the farm and moving on. My mother did not want to continue the hard work. Times was changing and people wanted to live the easy life. I finally moved in with some friends and left home at the age of 25. I was trying to get back my education and so I tried to get into school but the schools were expensive. I tried at church and they only could get me a job cleaning. They taught me the trade and said Most of their women learned this. And they said that I could work for rich businessman. I know it was not what I wanted but it was a job in the big city. And I love my independence. It was first hard being a single woman and working in the city. It was hard getting to work on time. It was church that kept my spirits up and knowing there were others who were going through what I've been through. And God begin to bless me almost several years in, my boss gave me a raise. And I was shouting and prepare to spend when my sister came by. She said Momma is sick. I asked the pastor to pray for me and my family at this time. And I tithed ten percent and hold onto the rest in case of Momma passed. The pastor first was searching for me because I gave and left for Holloway, New Jersey. There I was quick to come to Momma's aid and there was this doctor. And I was ignoring but I just could not help notice that he was looking at me. They called him Junior and he was previously married. Momma talked to me and she told me that she was fine. And she pushed me away and Junior said he would look after her. And he took me out on some dates and just before I was gonna go back home on the train after saying good bye to Momma. Junior proposed to me with his son KC-David. And he showed me a big beautiful ring and I said yes. And I did not go back home but I took a cleaning job with a businessman in Holloway, New Jersey. And the marriage stood in honeymoon for several years. Momma was in a nursing home and feeling up and down sometimes. And my sisters were helping to take care of her. We each had turns and live closely by. I was pregnant with LaShara and I told Momma. Momma was delighted and she felt the baby bump. I was almost 33 years old. My son KC-David was 13 years old when I met his father and now he was on his way to college. Junior spent a great deal of his money helping the less fortunate. And because Junior was such a good provider and a doctor, I was able to save up $100,000. And I could not believe it. I asked the bank over and over and over. I went down to the bank and ask for the teller, ask for the supervisor, and ask for the manager. Then I knew I did something great. And celebrated with Junior and the kids. And so I paid for KC-David education and made sure he made A's and B's. And he would have to report to me everything he learned in writing. KC-David had other friends at college and eventually his father got the raised and I had several cleaning jobs plus Momma passed and left me $50,000 and I made another $100,000. My husband Junior promised to pay for LaShara's education. And he kissed me on the cheek and he promised me that I could do whatever with my money. And so I talked to KC-David and asked him what I should do. And he said Momma you were the only mother I know. You cared so much about God. People respect you Momma. You are noted in the community for character, working hard and you are funny. You went far for someone who had it hard and lived through those hard days. You taught me so much. And just because you did not get a degree or diploma and had to clean for your life. Doesn't mean you should not be remember? You could do what those rich folks do. You could pay for others' education and leave a lasting legacy at the university. And I asked him what should I call the college scholarship. And he said The Maguerita Matthews Besting It Scholarship. And that was my story.
