Victory through Strength. Strength through Unity. UNITY THROUGH OBLIGE!
Oblige
You know America,
There is nothing quite like an ePresidential race to get the blood racing. I have to admit when I sat down to write this article I was dreading the usual hour long experience of putting digital pen to paper, yet when it came time to enter my title I began reading through my old campaign articles and I had a revelation: it is awesome to run for President! It simply is. It is exciting, and challenging, and no matter how sure you are of winning, it's a nail bitter until all the ballots are cast.
This election is sure to be interesting and I hope you, my dear reader, will find it engaging as well. In order to make sure we all started off on the right foot, the two (primary) other candidates ( Dr Luis "Sexy Times" Sentieiro and NewAzazel) have accepted positions in each other's cabinets to make sure that regardless of who is elected, we will still all be able to work for the betterment of America.
Additionally, at an emergency cabinet meeting last evening to discuss strategy for the remainder of the term, we jointly decided that a top priority, regardless of who became President, would be making sure this will the month we rid ourselves of the so-called American Freedom Alliance and the Serbians and hostile eCitizens that are trying to politically take us over.
In order for this to happen, it is imperative that you contact KODY5 if you are able and willing to assist in our anti-take over efforts.
You know, I almost forgot.

Those of you that know me well are aware that I have been thinking about a Presidential run for quite some time now, but the timing just never seemed right, and I refuse to run for or accept any position I'm not fully able to commit myself to. Thankfully my RL stars have aligned and my calendar is clear of any commitments that would keep me from eRep. Just as importantly, I've become increasingly dismayed with both the executive agenda and the leadership initiative taken by the last several Presidents. It seems like we are adrift, both domestically and internationally with no direction and administrations that carry us wherever the winds of chance may blow. I don't mean any disrespect to the previous cabinets or the fine individuals that they were comprised of, but the overall feel I've gotten from this country as of late is just that, drift.
What is just as concerning is the changes that have been happening to our community. eAmerica is turning into a Serbia or Poland lite, with groups of players forming their own communities, each run by its own king or queen each in their own tiny castle. I believe in America. I believe that we are great, have been great, and will be great moving forward, but I worry sometimes about the direction we are heading in. Is the game still as fun for you to play as it was a year ago? Two? For many, I know the answer would be "no."
It is with that in mind that I brought out my old campaign slogan and made it the title of this article.
Victory through Strength.
Strength through Unity.
Unity through Oblige!
Not just hollow words. Words with meaning. With truth. With history.
I know it's not tradition to lay out a campaign platform in an announcement article, but if I only have your attention for these few minutes know this: I cannot and will not promise to fix the woes that besiege us now eAmerica, but I do promise to do everything possible as a leader to set an example I hope, and I have faith, that the rest of the nation will follow. We will be revamping the executive from the top down, with a focus on community, starting with a completely new angle on the National Security Council and the way we structure our relationships between parties, between MUs, between Congress and the executive, and between the President and the player base.
I will leave you with that.
P.S. my Vice President is Vanek26.
P.P.S. A shout would be nice too.
Victory through Strength.

Vanek26 link says: "The URL you are trying to access is considered to be malicious!"
This could be the slogan of your campaign!
NO!
Whoopsies. Fixed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
Oh, so your slogan will be:
"This candidate for PotUs is considered to be malicious!"
LMAO
[removed]
This sums up pretty much Oblige's references huehuehue
I removed my previous comment cause it was not proper for Plato. Valiant Thor. I have been sitting quiet. Just looking how lame u are and laughing. Oh and sorry for bad englese so far. U try to troll various players without any real content. You have been pickering on bad pronouncing and what ever. Pls try to find some content to your trolling. There are good trolls around too, look smee again for examle. So far you have just been lame mothafcker from what ever place u come from. You have the potential, try to live up to it! Sincerely yours. TTi09
I think that a lot of my content and trolling-power gets lost when you use google-translate. I presume you got a stiffy reading his candidacy squiggle makes it hard for you to qualify as my personal adviser, not to mention it comes from an ex-AMPer. Now go and have some fun on your bachelor party 🙂
who gives a fuark about a lvl 26 weakling lol
Level 59 doesn't make your tiny wiener bigger!
Neither does running your mouth, Thor.
bad troll is bad
Are you saying that the American people are OBLIGED to vote for you? 😉
yes
Yes.
just don't say "Ordered" or the kids will freak out.
If you see no problem that a military officer orders people to make a political choice you're extremely brainwashed or just have no ethics.
Another candidate!
Good luck Oblige!
Victory through Strength.

Just... No.
Victory through Strength.
Strength through Unity.
Unity through Oblige!
You can win under Oblige...
You demonstrated strength and leadership in the past.
Please start now to demonstrate leadership again. Demonstrate you do believe in strength, you are not afraid and your Teamates should not be afraid. Reject the UNITY process publicly because it is simply not required. Accept the challenge of open healthy vigorous elections and the nutritious campaigns which go with them: they are the breakfast of champions.
Please start to demonstrate leadership now. Team America needs it. Explain, reject and change the culture of secrecy, authoritarianism and disrespect which has characterized government for so long. Commit yourself, demonstrably, to transparency. Do not repeat the popular model of promising transparency and delivering obscurity.
America doesn't need another cowering paralytic.
My understanding is that we will be attempting to block the AFA out of the Top 5 for this election allowing a true Vote.

Sorry, no.
Interesting stuff.
I blame the Pfeifferists 😉
As you recall the vote failed.
Vote passed the meta Congress, but you bought your way out of it ingame.
😛
You know well that isn't true Israel. Why do you hate America so much that you lie to us? :/
The constitution was amended afterwards to reflect the required 66% major and would not have passed otherwise.
As you just said, it was amended after the fact. You were impeached meta-game based on the current rules at that time.
This guy. There is NO ONE like him for Potus
Nope.
terms 1-2 were good, 3-4 were pretty bad. If terms 5-6 follow the curve we're screwed.
fresh start, fresh Oblio.. besides, it's a whole different America and eWorld, different challenges, etc..
But it's the same pain-in-the-a**-obsessed-with-details whale!
So Oblige, are you going to give the next CP the orgs back after you end your term? Or are you going to drag them through the mud change the emails and the passwords like you did last time?
Not a very smart question bishop. Everyone knows the President can request access to any org by sending a ticket. Even if oblige kept the orgs, the next President could request them back.
Pointless trolling?
F*** me, but it seems like everyone not sharing your stupid viewpoints is automatically pictured as a troll. You're so lame, but is it any wonder?
If you are serious right now you have no business being President. Your lack of history is astounding.
The point is, the new president shouldn't have to send a ticket to get them. Oblige was being dumb about it.
Time to go take a shower for agreeing with CG. 😛
I was the first President to even get the orgs Alex.
Really doesn't matter Oblige, you still should have passed them on.
about time you ran. you got my vote for what its worth. good luck!
Good luck!
I'm really hoping we can have a normal election for maximum fun.
Good luck!
Good luck oblige!
Victory throught Power, Power through Strength, Strength through Passion!
