Charlie Ward and the Next U.S. Presidential Team

I am a HUGE fan of the Florida State Seminoles Football Team. Even though their win-loss record was sub-par last year (due partly to the older age of Coach Bobby Bowden), I am still nonetheless, a "life-long" F.S.U. fan!

Take for instance, F.S.U.'s first National Championship in 1993. Led by stellar quarterback Charlie Ward (Heisman Trophy winner for 1993), the Seminoles finally received the prize that had eluded them for so long.

Ward, also only the 3rd college football player since 1930 to also win the Sullivan award (given to the best amateur athlete in any sport) truly was the catalyst for this final run of the Seminole faithful (sadly, the second National Championship was mired in controversy due to some unethical action on the part of Bobby Bowden and his coaching staff . . .).

Charlie Ward, truly was my athletic hero.

Ward was lightning fast, made split decisions that were correct, was accurate with his passing, and most of all was a humble Christian man.

If I were to become President, similar to the Seminoles of old I would want to run the "team" and therefore the entire country a bit like Charlie Ward.

Lightning strike offense for America diplomatically. Unswerving commitment to Jesus Christ. The ability to read the field accurately, whether the playing field is Iraq, Afghanistan or here at home. The ability to scramble if necessary. In all ways, as a former Christian Athlete (Div. 1-AA College Football Player, and three year starter who snapped the ball to Richard Howell, current Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Indianapolis Colts of the N.F.L.), I will seek to embody unswerving commitment to Jesus Christ coupled with the absolute highest academic and Christian Leadership Ability.

Karl Rove, are you listening yet?

The people who are running for office on the G.O.P. side are largely corrupt, old and worn out.

Only I will stand firmly for Jesus Christ.

In Jesus' Name,
Rob J. King, former 1-AA College Football Player
