What if....


Those of you who know me well know that I get quite emotionally involved in presidential campaigns. (I had to turn the CNN debate off the other night because my adrenaline was pumping so fiercely and my loud, angry accusations at the screen were interrupting Nate's studying...) This time around, and for the time being, I've given my vulnerable political heart to the Romney campaign, while there's still hope. Those of you who share my sentiments will enjoy the following hypothetical scenarios, courtesy of my friend Julie Page...



If Mitt Romney became President of the US (code name POTUS)....

What Ward would POTUS be in? If you are his new Bishop, here are some questions:

1. Will you allow an inaugural ball to be held in the cultural hall? Do you mount security cameras on top of each basketball rim and have a secret service detail stationed on the stage?

2. Can you call Mitt and Ann as the Nursery leaders... even if you really feel inspired?

3. Who is going to home teach them?

4. If Harry Reid and Mitt Romney are in the same High Priest group, will you need to be there to keep order?

5. Exactly how will tithing settlement work? Will the Secretary of the Treasury come too?

6. Will you be in viting the new Romney family to speak in Sacrament Meeting... and if they go a little over at what point do you ask them to sit down?

7. Will the Secret Service do a sweep of the building before each meeting?

8. Can you call the Secret Service agents to help out in Primary?

9. If you give Mitt a calling and the two Democrats in the Ward raise their hand AGAINST sustaining him - partly out of habit - does the Supreme Court need to be involved?

10. Will the Secret Service have to screen the temple too?

1 1. If the President wants to hold Sacrament Meeting at Camp David or the White House for security reasons, is that a conflict of Church and State?
