The 1st Woman President of the United States
Modern Satire

Here we go again. I remember this race. And it was no ordinary race. I fought hard. I was in it for the long haul. I believe in myself and the people. It was purposefully past campaigns. And even though I was defeated as the Vice Presidential Nominee, I will not let this detour me. I will not let this stop me. I have high hopes and a bright future. I am determined. I am certain that I can find a way to heal this country. I believe in the power of consensus. I believe that is one of the greatest gifts of our democracy. I believe it makes America strong and the world better. I believe everybody must have a say in this country and voting is the way. That we must vote to make our voices heard and that we must make our stance. All my life I worked hard in politics and my Baptist father helped me to accomplished this. He was a good man. He was a lover of this country and its creeds. That all men are created equal. And he preached throughout his life. And he walk the walk and he talk the talk. I am Yolanda Jackson-Cain. I worked my way up from an intern to a Governor. And I've seen the massive poverty. I've seen the massive homelessness. And it disturbed me. I walk the streets. I lived down the boulevards. And the classism is massive. So much I am afraid it would take great strides. After being a State Senator and bettering my home community. And championing the common man's issues and gaining the help of my community. I was inspired to run. And not for that only but because we need representation. We need to show America by its many diversities and by its many shades. And we cannot back down till America is what it should be. I was at first losing to many prominent challengers. And I was nowhere in the polls and I did not know what to do. Till Kat Jacobs became my manager. Kat was smart and savvy. She worked at the community center. She researched a lot in college. She was fixed on getting me to win. And she prepared me for the debate. And at first I was a greenhorn. I did not know the ropes but I warmed up halfway through. I challenged the other challengers and asked them what will they do about poverty. What will they do about homelessness. And they scramble to get an answer. And I proclaimed my plan and I stated what I've done in my community. I stated what I have done for many years. And I also showed how I influence the laws even bipartisanship. And that's when the numbers were looking better. Kat was amazed and she told me that we had enough funds for me to show commercials. And so I showed my family with John Jackson-Cain and our two daughters. And they described my passion and my influence. They described me as a champion of the people along with many friends I made at home, in the office, and in my political life. And then after months and months I was in the lead winning the primary and eventually winning the election. It was simply a landslide. So much that I got national attention. And even though I was a first time Governor, I was ready to do more. I was put on a list of potential Vice Presidents in the next election before my re-election as Governor. Role Warren was the Presidential Nominee for the United States of America and he picked me as his vice. But that was after I campaigned hard for him. And spoke at the Lincoln Memorial, just stating who I am and what I stand for. I wanted to make myself clear that I was ready for more and that the American People were ready for more. And that our fathers and mothers paid the way for a better future united and stronger. Kat was again my campaign manager and advisor and she applauded the speech along with many others on the Anniversary of the March on Washington. And we were set to win. Just before the election, Role Warren was caught in a scandal in his past, he cheated on his wife. And he has been paying this mistress secretly without continuing the relationship. And he refused to back down because he claimed it was simply blackmail. And I believe him because I wanted to be Vice President so badly. And we lost by a wide margin. And so I told my supporters that this is not the end. It is only the beginning. America has made its choice and the future is still bright. I congratulate the new President, President James Burnkins. And I waited consciously and restore my reputation with Kat as Advisor to the Governor. We made progress and challenge the new administration. And we won the party's attention and the party's chair was interested in my career. And I got to give a rebuttal to the State of the Union Address just before the election chaos. And Kat said we are in. We can do it. My sister called and she said Mom wants to campaign with me. And we campaign and I was prepared for the debates. And I took the stage by force and charisma. They called me a rising star. And the polls put me at the front and lead. I was uncertain and shaky about the first debate because President James Burnkins was tough and experienced. And just before halfway like before I got my win. I challenged him on homelessness and poverty. And his cuts to the domestic programs. And his unfair jobs plans and President James Burnkins walked off the stage. And I tried to hold my reserve and I thank the President and viewers. We stood positive and optimistic. We showed what America would be. We showed the America that we love. We showed America as a leader. And we were proud to run. And then eventually it was election night, I was certain and filled with excitement even though I was behind, I started to gain then in the lead then close. And I fell asleep and Kat called me and she said Yo you made it. You are the first woman president. I jumped up and down. And minutes later received the concession call from the President. President James Burnkins wished me luck and said I win a good race. God bless America.
