"I want to be President because I don't want anyone else to be President.Many must feel the same way. What follows is the story of how I became the political person I am today. It is my platform. If it could be your story, vote for me. It would be like voting for yourself. Feels good, doesn't it?" So begins the Book-of-the-Month-Club novelist and award winning short story author Robert Day in his new book Robert Day for President, an Embellished Campaign Autobiography. His book is a memoir about how he "became the political person he is today" growing up with a Republican father, a Democratic mother, and a Polish Socialist grandmother. What "feels good" about Day's book are the scenes and the characters. We see him at a 1960s rally protesting his university's off-campus housing policy, "a policy that discriminates against African Americans (who were not yet African Americans in Kansas, nor even Blacks, but Negroes or Colored. Among other nouns.)" Then later, his presence at the first large Tea Party rally in Washington, D. C. ("Harm was in the air: you could see it.") Along the way we meet Jeb Bush, William Kristol, Peggy Noonan, Anne Coulter, Fox News, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Everett Dirksen, Hillary Clinton and Day's maternal Grandmother, Sallie Makielski-herself the author of The Makielski Proclamations: Machines that Run on Their Own Can Run You Over. Stand Good Brooms on Their Handles. Wires Connected to the House Take Money Out of the House. First, Take Care of Yourself so You Can Care for Others when They Need you, and so No One Need Take Care of You. It is to Sallie Makielski that Day's book is dedicated.
