"We need to put the oil into a different machine, Biden, but a cleaner type of oil."
Boring smiles and does a little pirouette on his toes before tip-toeing back to his seat.
"We will now move to questions from our audience which were submitted earlier. Our first question comes from Esther Palousey from Walnut Creek, California: 'Senator Sanderson, is it true that you're going to raise taxes for everyone, not just the billionaires?"
"Yes, Esther, that is true. When I'm President, billionaires will be paying their fair share, and while taxes will go up for everyone, the working class also will be getting higher wages, once we get the living wage act passed. Not only that but people will have a higher standard of living because the government spending will be shifted away from wasted funds going to defense to areas that will benefit society and the planet as a whole. Jobs formerly in the defense industry will be moved to green energy industries and infrastructure projects like mass transit, which in itself will go a long way to reduce carbon emissions. The people in America will enjoy a much healthier and better quality of life if they elect me President."
Next question. This one is for Vice-President Boring.
"I'm ready,"
"Of course, Mr. Vice-President," says the moderator, "we know that. We know you're always ready."
"Yes, if you elect me, America will not be sorry."
"In fact, that is the next question from Harry Schillmer of White Plains, New York. Why do you feel you are the best person to be our next President?"
"You gotta be kidding me," Boring shakes his head. "I thought I already told you I'd be the best."
"Yes," says the moderator. "But please explain why."
"Well, I've got the experience. I'm not going to change things that much. But I will get rid of Humpty-Dumpty. He is going to have a great fall, and then we will have an honest man like me leading our country."
"Is that all, Mr. Vice-President," the moderator says.
"Well, I need more time to think about that."
"No, Biden," Sanderson says. "It's about time you thought about why you want to be the next President. You haven't given us one good reason."
"The next question for you again, Mr. Vice-President, is from Billy Bob Burr. He asks, 'Can you tell us exactly how much money your son, Sleepy, received in his position on the board of that foreign company? And what did he do besides go to a few board meetings."
