Well... it's a little bit over a month. Then I'm out of office. It's been fun, but I've got to retire, I'm 63 after all, hopefully the next guy does a better job than me... what's his name again?
The economy crisis was partially, (or maybe practically), blamed on me. It could've been me... it probably was me. I've only been in the position for one term, and I didn't run for a second. I'm almost sure that I wouldn't have got a second term... I am sure.
I didn't now what I was doing, I'll admit that here. I am a failure.
There is still some work for me to do however, I don't want to leave too big a mess for the next guy...
********
If there is a next guy... I guess I should have known. Retirement was not going to happen.
Jesus Christ!
What did I do to deserve this... the world will be consumed and I will be blamed. A meteor is coming, it'll be here soon... how long did that bastard Warnock withhold this information. He told me not to say anything.
I agree in some respects, but I have to give them something, I'll give them part of the truth. It's important that there isn't a panic. So very important. Out of panic comes anarchy, out of anarchy comes dictators, (who feel they can rise above what little there is), out of dictators come war. what comes from war is clear.
I'm going to tell them slowly, so that all they will be able to do is run. I'll leave no time for an uprising. Only time for flight.

" Something is coming, I'll warn you now, so that the star gazers don't stir it all up later, make it more than it is."
" A meteor will strike the ice caps in exactly two weeks, " massive media stir, " But I assure you! Nothing will come of it! Nothing but a rumble, we have faced worse, we will face worse again and we are facing worse right now. The meteor will cause but a rumble, a minor quake."
" I say again... don't make it more than it is... do not panic. "
********
I was never going to be allowed to retire... but never did I think that this, that this would be how it would end.
