Dear America

As a whale President, there aren't a lot of positive ways for me to end my Presidential streaks. Usually there's a lot of moaning about me "hogging" the Presidency and then lots of jibber jabber about "tyranny" and "dictatorship" and yadayadayada.

This time however things have been a little different. After much soul searching and conversation with Josh Frost I decided not to see another term as President.

In fact, one of the primary purposes of this article is to serve as a ringing endorsement for Josh Frost as President. I find myself in the (uncommon for me) position of actually looking forward to another player taking the reigns.

The second purpose was to wax pontifical about these past two terms as President.

It's been a very difficult time for the country. The prolonged invasion by TWO, the betrayal by Brazil, strife over the work tax and so on, but I believe we had some very real accomplishments this term.

1.) Double victory over the PTO - first in PP elections and then again at Congressionals. We dealt them serious defeats and are now on track towards ultimate victory.
2.) Extreme revival of the Interior and Education departments under iRule777 and Tanishq respectively.
3.) Still the most rockin' media team of the past several years
4.) Ongoing success with the new NSC
5.) A continuation of the PP inclusiveness policy with the next administration
6.) Election of a USAF Spokesperson to help represent our Armed Forces from month to month
7.) I even wrote articles!

In conclusion, despite staying on as an Advisor next and potentially seeking a position in CoT you will be seeing a bit less of me than you may be accustomed to. I'm not leaving, not saying good bye, not going away, or even stepping down. This is simply my swan song for these two months and it is bittersweet.

All I can say is:
