Emerick is my President... Emerick is your President
Today, democracy happened. We saw in an election how the public voted. The public obviously didn't want me to have a second term. Do I blame them? No. It looks terrible. We've lost 20 states and are likely to lose more. I do feel like I got the short end of the stick with regards to the war, being stuck with other President's mistakes from 6 months ago and beyond. Lest this turns into a woe is me article, I'll say this: I always did my best and what I thought was best for my country. If that wasn't enough for you, godspeed to Emerick and pray he can get us out of this mess.
I have a lot of things to be proud of. I have started the most massive overhaul of our technology systems. Our technology is still porous, but hopefully Emerick will continue this tradition. I've also tried to, albeit with not much success, working with the mentor/Dept of Education programs. This is not their fault so much as mine. My domestic policy got thrown to the wayside during this war. Working 12 hour days, literally, is not a ton of fun. I hope you're ready, Emerick, and I pledge my full support to you. I'm proud to have fought valiantly on the battlefield with my allies, never giving in. I am proud to have made, what I think, is the best cabinet ever formed. I ask you each to support Emerick's new direction and, whatever he does, get behind him. Emerick is not only my President but yours also. America, we must become united. And united we WILL BECOME.
I'll take this time to announce my formal retirement from e-politics. I will happily return to two clicking and bouncing around the forums and IRC. It will be nice to relax rather than stress over the current war. I'd like to thank a multitude of people.. but above all, these select few:
Inwegen, Proggypop, Ananias, Hokiehigh and Scrabman for being my "brain trust" and giving me my shot
PigInZen for being the best aide a guy could ask for. Ladies and Gentlemen, he is your new Vice President
The rest of my staff who worked endlessly.
Let me close with this. I don't care who you supported in these Presidential elections. If you voted for me, I urge you to get behind Emerick's platform, his ideals, and his movement. We owe it to America as a nation and to our allies to become united and fend off these attacks. This war is at a turning point. Canada's survival is on the brink. Will we continue with petty political campaigns, spending our hard earned gold on advertisements.. or will we fight for honor?
America, Emerick is my President, and he is your President too.
God bless America and no where else

Emerick is not my president if he does not take this battle to the death. I will make that clear right now.
no worries we still love you
PEACEmaxx.

"I always did my best and what I thought was best for my country"
So that was the problem...
EMERICKMAXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dell Fargus, a bit of your own medicine... go F- yourself
Emerick is great.
Only USWP candidates complain how the job of president sucks so bad
Good job sir. You had my support.
Yay PEACE trolls! Without you one would think that this game was played by reasonable, respectable individuals. Thanks for all you do!
I love both of you, so
Thank you for your work.
Voted, Hail Emerick !
Good article, HR. Good luck, Emerick.
Thank you for your service HR.
A classy exit. Very presidential.
It's good when you are the better man. Congratulations on being bigger than some of the a-holes who have commented on here.
Here we go...!
well said sir. best of luck to you in your post-presidential endeavors
i am with you Deadly, if Emerick thinks he can use diplomacy to end this war, then he is dead wrong. Brute force is the only thing PEACE sees. They will only expect absolute surrender, and we just cannot accept that. I hope that if we learn he is planning to sign any document related to PEACE, we impeach his ass.
Thanks HR.
Thanks for your service. Tough hand.
Good term HR. It is a shame you weren't president in a better time. Good luck Emerick, I hope you can pull us out of this mess.
Thank you, Harrison.
Emerick is great!
Heh, we already knew you felt this way HR.
/me salutes
I'm glad I'll actually be able to talk to you on irc again, but it's unfortunate that your Presidency didn't turn out as planned.
Very nicely said, Sir.
Whether you like HR or not, the negative comments to his gracious article are out of place and symptomatic of all that is wrong with the eUSA
Emerick for Emerica!
...what will you do if you win, HR?

"I always did my best and what I thought was best for my country"
Then you, in my eyes, were a successful president. Sorry things turned out this way.
Thanks for your service... and tradition pictures!
I voted Emerick, but I don't blame you for the mess we are in. Very classy way to go out HR.
well HR look on the bright side you got 15 gold out of it, 2 midea monguals and a country president medle.
Impressive article HR
Change you need! I wonder if you can
he is not my president. I do not and will not accept a peace spy as my president. It s as simple as that .
Good luck!
Thank you, mr president, for your work for all the people in F/E countries.
very classy
Good job, Harrison. On the article and on dealing with the terrible hand that you were given on this term. I wish you all the best in the world.
Good luck, Emerick. You're coming in at a very difficult time and I hope that you have all the success imaginable in restoring the eUS to its former glory.
HR have u no shame? Apart from Emerick, you ve been the most incompetent president of eAmerica. You re responsible of losing half of our country. You got no idea how this game works yet you had the nerves to run for the president. And now, you still see yourself in a position to give endersoments for someone who s even more uncabaple then you are.
See Zoli, you were right about at least one thing. Stupid as Stupid does
good luck
Well, American Dream (who is actually enzoferrari), I'll do as I please. Take your trolling elsewhere.
proud to be an Emerickan
@enzoferrari/American Dream - dood you fail at being a PEACE butthole hater troll.
HR, you did the best job anyone could do considering the circumstances forget the trolls and go on vacation.
Emerick, good luck man you're gonna need it.
Now PEACE has lost it's last propaganda chip. First it was because of previous wars, then it was because of the USWP. What next, RL American hatred, or will you finally concede that you can't function as an alliance unless you can fight someone?
HR, "I'll do as I please." Then I'm afraid, what pleases you is the devastation of eUSA. Which is actually something you ve been extremely successful at. You're the harbringer of devastation a complete and utter failure along with Emerick.
johnpauljones@ I ve been fighting against peace at every front long before your very existance in here and will continue to do so. Please cut the crap and stop being a parazite okey ?
Actually you make a hero from a man who show that he cant run big country but stays in his posicion for the time he can, and blame everything but not him self.
not a word about " I did something wrong".
You had 4 or 5 chance to secure your country before the war and other 5 when the war started. You missed them all becouse it was esier to say we are the strongest nation no one will attacke us.
HR actually failed as a president ( Whit the potecial of the USA its even a bigger fail ). Yet he comes out of this as a hero. You are really a politician .
Thank you for giving your best HR. We cannot ask for anything more. Those that criticize more often than not, have no clue the pressures you must have been under, and everyone thinks they would have done a better job.
Enjoy your break, like the former president, and come back stronger.
Not sure if I like the idea of emerick as president, I also know at this point it's not up to me anymore. :p I of course wish him the best in his term because I love this country, but if he messes this up it'll be his last term!
Well said HR, congrats to Emerick.
Thanks for the article.
Did good sir.
i think emerick is great and i think u r great 2
Hoss for boss and Jewitt to lead him through it.
Emerick is a FAIL
Great way to go out HR... Congrats to Emerick. Let's see what this nation can do. Let's get our butts in gear people. We gotta turn this around
Congratulations HR, on surviving a tough term.
Emerick, we're with you. As long as we fight hard.
A classy way to handle things HR, regardless of what anyone things about your time as President they have to admit that you ended your term with some class. Kudos to you for that.
HR I supported you the whole way
Hey, americans.
[09:40:39] cesog-fillireb; as MoFA at the time, I can quote myself "We'll wait on a decision until after USA CP elections. If HR gets in, I advise PEACe. If Emerick, we wait and see"
HR,
Thank you for the grace with which you've carried yourself throughout this national ordeal. While I'm sure we all have ideas about how things could have been managed differently, it's a different matter once you're in the "Big Chair" and I appreciate your efforts on all of our behalf.
Keep up the good work and good spirits and eUSA will be strong again!
Good luck HR. I have to say I agree that the war turned your administration into a nightmare. I sure wouldn't have wanted it dropped into my lap.
"I'll take this time to announce my formal retirement from e-politics."
Gee whiz HR, you've only been here since February.
If I'm not mistaken, you won, Mr. Richardson.
It was an honor to serve you Mr. President. Cya around bro!!!
Thanks for all your hard work, HR, and class concession. I'm sure we have no idea how much you have done on everyone's behalf. I hope everyone gets behind our new president, regardless of who you would have preferred in the office.
Classy as always, PEACE trolls. What a bunch of assholes
HR, you did the best you could with an impossible situation. I don't think anybody would envy the problems you had to face. You were dedicated and hard working. I wish those that criticize you, would get to experience one day of the presidency to understand the time and commitment it takes to do the job even in more peaceful times.
Thanks for teh memories.
Great Article
Harrison Richardson, you will be missed. I may have had criticisms about how this war has been handled sometimes but I commend you for the job you've done. ePresidency of eUSA is not a cake walk, requires tremendous dedication to do even decently well and is stressful. Good luck to you! :]
Emerick is Great.
Well done, HR, bowing out with grace and not a small amount of dignity. Good luck in your future endeavors.
God bless eUSA.
Now thanks to President HR, America is indebted to Spain for 2000/Gold. Inability to pay will allow Spain to milk every US asset.

Thank you for your service.
So Long HR... You won't be missed.
Good luck, Emerick. Harrison Richardson was kind of a bad president, but he did his best.
Emerick is Great!!!
HR is Classy!!!
America FTW!!!
No harm in admitting things didnt go great, frankly you did the best anyone could do in the middle of a gang rape, you deserve the rest HR.
I hope Emerick is bringing his knee pads, they will be needed.
Dell Fargus... a CVP TROLL to the end. Have you nothing better to do then act like you know anything about this game or running for office?
Oh wait, you've commented here and through your org... so I guess not.
Do us all a favor, Quit buying food and logging in you waste of digital space.
Ay, sir, you did well.
Good luck in the future.
It looks like the Fed endorsement is the kiss of death for candidates. Sorry our party got behind you, HR! hahaha
Seriously though, I think it's unfortunate that you were stuck with the check, so to speak. Every President before you helped contribute to this problem, including Scrabman. It's not like PEACE decided to launch this massive attack out of the blue after you were elected.
Good luck to you HR
Unite behind the man whose main advertised article did nothing but throw mud at his opponents, rather than outline his positions/plans or call for unity? No thanks. I'll fight every day for the eUSA, but not once for Emerick.
Congrats Emerick. You've got one month and are now on the clock.
Voted. It was a tough time to be President, no matter who held the position. Thanks for giving it your all and God bless you.
Oh man, we're SOL.
I don't believe anyone is going to turn this war around with the way the war module is set up. Unless PEACE gets bored with always being the attackers and winning.
Until this flaw in the war module is changed then who ever gets the attacks in first can just keep attacking none stop like PEACE did and win.
Or Emerick decide's to bend down to PEACE and they stop attacking.
You did what you could HR with what you had to work with, with this game.
Emerick is great.
@HR: You had the balls to do what you thought was good for this country. That's something I have to salute you for.
i wonder why some people don't finish what they started.
if you are running for presidency, then go all the way!!!
if you are fighting against peace, then go all the way!!!
no wonder, why USA is lacking some leaders.
Anyway, Emerick is great. Hopefully, he will solve the dumbest mistake made by scrabman who started war on Russia.
I voted against you, but it is nothing personal. you are clearly a very classy individual. thanks for taking the high road.
I hope you get re-elected in the future Harrison, so you can have a chance to prove yourself during peaceful times.

You should have resigned and saved yourself this disgrace.
Burn! BURN! Haha.
I'll be supporting Emerick, I'm kind of glad to see a Libertarian as president for the first time in my eUS life. ^^ Just cuz I like the Libertarians, nothing against HR... or Scrabman...
Don't listen to the haters HR. You did the best any one could have. Still, the sheep need a scapegoat. Guess that's part of the job.
oh, and i voted for bruno.
Thanks for leading our country HR, don't see any of you "knowitalls" do it any better. So instead of giving safe comments from the sideline maybe get involved and help your country.
