Leo the Patriotic Lion's Inauguration Day Speech
Leo the Patriotic Lion here. This is just a rough draft of a speech I plan to give on January 20, 2021, the next Inauguration Day.
Well, first of all, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you all for coming. I know many of you are probably very nervous right now, and I know there may be some of you that are very angry with me. I never wanted to be President. It was more for my own safety, really, because I cannot risk losing my temper one more time. There will be severe consequences if I do. But I want to assure you that the people who voted for me were doing it because they genuinely wanted to see me be the President. This has been going on since the 1992 election, where one man started it as a joke. People took his joke seriously, and the votes got bigger and bigger since then. Now it has happened. I am President. But you must remember I can only do it for 2 terms, and then that's it.
I plan to make this term a proper Presidential term. I am not enforcing a military junta as was the case when Richard Jones was in office, because that was an emergency resolution. Just as there was terrorism related to that election, there was terrorism related to this one. People were dying because of who they were voting for, and people were trying to smuggle CNG in the hopes it would influence people to vote for one of the two regular candidate pairs, Donald Trump/Mike Pence, or Joe Biden/Kamala Harris, and I'm guessing more so for that second option. It didn't work. The CNG effects instead changed all those voters minds the third way: voting for me. I hope that's cleared up some things for you. May I ask we observe a moment of silence, please, in memory of those who died?
*pause for moment of silence*
Thank you. Now, let me dispel a couple of myths for you. Yes, it's true that I am bringing an authoritarian approach to the country, and I am seeking to kick out the corruption forever and bring fresh, new faces into all three branches of the government. Some of those people have been around too long as it is. You may think that by me doing this, you've lost your freedoms and rights as Americans under the Constitution. Well, you haven't!
Just because I have a reputation for being strict does not mean I am going to censor everybody. Things that got you the death penalty on Kriegland are not going to ensure you get the death penalty here in America. That's really what I want to emphasize here. I am not turning this country into a modern-day Kriegland. I think people are just assuming I am because I have the huge voice, and the bellowing I've done over the years has caused more destruction than it is worth. It's a miracle nobody has died in those cases. Yet with the more recent times in which I have bellowed, it shows I had not conquered the problem like I thought I had. All I can say to the world is that I am sorry. I am very, very sorry. The guilty feelings are still haunting me, and being President is one possible way of doing such that.
Here are some other things I plan to do as President, and please note that I'm only telling you this now because I didn't do a proper campaign in this election. I won without even trying. I'll present them as a numbered list for you; apologies if I repeat myself. But these points have stemmed from a list of rumors that people have spread about me, so I hope I can help you separate the truth from the balderdash.
1. Am I going to put show biz out of business forever? No. I am not. I don't like seeing anybody out of work, even if I do not care for what they are doing. But like everybody else, the people of Hollywood are US citizens. They pay their bills and taxes. They have to put food on the table. Celebrities are under the same protection of our Constitution and its Amendments as the regular people. Sometimes it is easier to hold them accountable for their actions because everything they do is in the press the next day, even if the press gets it wrong.
2. Am I turning America into a modern-day Kriegland. As I said before, the answer is no. Back in the 1960s and 70s, when I was doing all the bellowing, there's a chance I might have done that. However, I was not the nation's first dictator. Zachary Chandler was, and there are things we actually found we could benefit from while that was going on. If you want more information, ask him. I am not doing that. Instead, I want the nation to keep on thriving as it is.
3. Am I replacing every single Congressman and Senator with a Forsythian? No. That decision is not mine to make. I do not have absolute authority. There must be checks and balances.
4. Am I strengthening our military? The answer to that question is yes. We are the greatest nation in the world, and so we should have the greatest military in the world, and the finest military marching bands to go with it. This includes the newest branch just added not too long ago: the United States Space Force.
We will benefit in ways you and I never knew thanks to the United States Space Force.
5. Do I plan to cut taxes? Yes. I just have not figured out the exact amount yet. I want the average American to have more money to spend, though, on important things. That's your decision on how to do that. Only the Krieglandonians live by the philosophy that says, "If you don't need it, don't buy it. Period." You spend it as you see fit.
6. Here's a big one. Do I plan to condemn all the people who fit belong to the LGBTQ crowd. Hear me, and hear me well, people. The answer is no. This is the topic the media gets wrong the most. I've always hated the ideas behind LGBTQ , but I do not hate the people who are that. I just hate the ideas. Furthermore, I do not wish to think of them as LGBTQ ; I just wish to think of them as the American people. Like the celebrities, they are also protected under the Constitution and its amendments. They also pay the bills and taxes. They work hard to put food on the table just like the rest of you "normal" people as I suppose you (wrongly) like to consider yourselves. I am not a homophobic lion! So get that into your heads, news media! I respect all people regardless of status because they, too, are my fellow Americans!
Did you people of the press get that? If not, write it down. Anyways, on with the list.
7. Who is my Secretary of Education? The answer to that is nobody. Why? After a long discussion I had with the ones who are to be in my cabinet, we decided it was better to leave education up to the states. Each of our 50 states will individually decide how to approach education. I do not want this stupid common core ideology plaguing the schools. This is also so that the mistakes I made when I was Secretary of Education under the Jones Administration are not repeated.
The only controversy attached to that, however, is the media saying it is a controversy. A true story is that I did have people protesting because I was limiting technology in the classroom, but my argument was, "I want kids to be taught to think for themselves; the problem is not that they need to be educated, but that they need to think logically. Spending too much time in front of a screen only rots your brains. You stupid left-wingers are always ruining everything!" However, as President, I'm going to have lengthy discussions with my administration on this subject. I want kids to do everything by hand because I cannot let the old methods be forgotten; if so, and the new methods fail, we have nothing to fall back on! Those are my feelings, however. You are entitled to think differently. But it's ultimately a question of how to balance the old with the new, not favor one over the other. Still, I want today's youth to know the old-fashioned ways as a backup.
Those are the big seven so far, but to make some other points, I am not putting cigarette and beer companies out of business. I am not putting gambling and the lottery out of business either. This is again because I don't like seeing people out of work. I can only make a suggestion that these companies find alternate things to manufacture so that they do not go out of business; if I'm correct, I believe companies such as Budweiser are also doing canned water and hand sanitizer. Sadly, it took COVID-19 for that to happen.
The biggest issues I face, however, are connected to the ongoing CNG crisis. Thankfully we have the C.I.D.F. to help us with that, but until CNG is 100% eradicated from the face of the earth, it basically controls the world. (It had something to do with the fact I was elected.) The difference is we know more about it than we did before. We know that it wants to erase the entire human race for being "way too grievously savage." I'll let you figure that one out, but those are the reasons. The nation of Argentina lost exactly 7 million people over soccer riots because CNG decided to kill them all; a similar thing happened in Turkey, and I believe about 1.5 to 2 million people died in that incident. I do not want that kind of thing happening here in America.
However, because it has a conscience, it thinks it has to reward the good as well as punish the bad. Ironically, it is the reason all the G-52s have their superpowers, and in my case, that's my huge voice that can cause a ton of damage with the bellowing if I let it. I have promised I will not do that. All I ask of you is this: do not give me any temptations. You control yourselves just as I must control myself.
We do know more about CNG than we used to, however. Thanks to the C.I.D.F.'s research for that one, and also the research of the now-rehabilitated man that was once our worst enemy. Who is that? That's Bendraqi, of course, or if you want to properly address him, Dr. Alfred Coats Bendraqi. Ph.D. He's not with us because he's playing it safe by staying home, but it should be common knowledge that he has turned over a new leaf, and he is now contributing as much as he can to benefit our world.
I wish you all the best. Stay strong, stay true to yourselves and your country. We are all in this together; we will get through this. We are America!
Now please rise for our national anthem!
It's a rough draft, though. I have time to fix it before the big day.
THE END

LGBTs should be no bother, so let them have rights. And the average American's taxes should be cut if they can't afford more in the marginal run. Also, the taxes should go towards funding schools in addition to healthcare and healthcare, as well as improve our infrastructure.
Military spending should be reduced, but we'll still have the strongest in all of the world.

I'd imagine that public utility services would provide funding for local governments anyways so that would go to school and healthcare anyways. Ideally, I think the only level of government that can levy taxes are the ones at the most local, like cities and towns. I'm not a huge fan of the federal payroll tax since a percentage of the wages go to the individual's social security and Medicare. I'd imagine social security to be like a savings account after retirement and Medicare be an individual health savings account.
The media keeps making assumptions about Leo because they're stubbornly bringing up his past and claiming he's still that, when he's not.
Mr. Letterman: We got a lot of work to do in the government. The big focus is cleaning up and gutting out excess spending and unnecessary bureaucracies. Developing the US Space Force however will still be on the table.
Zax: We also need to work on improving relations with the American LGBTQ community a lot. American transgenders and nonbinary individuals must feel safe and accepted under you. You are their voice as well.
Juno: You got 4 years to not overreact or blow up. The Supreme Court will be watching you carefully. You already got the ICC and United Nations shaking and we're reassuring them that we will do our best to provide the highest level of dignity for our people. This is your chance to lead by example.
Jack: We're starting America off on a clean-slate but you must think before you act. The world is watching and one big mistake can cost you your presidency and make Tom your successor. For this term, you basically got one shot at this. After that, the American people will decide if you are worthy of reelection or not.

Cripto: Pressure's on.
Tom: I'm going to be a nervous wreck nonstop these next 4 years.
Leo: The Supreme Court will have their eyes on me. Last I spoke to them, though, they said they were sore afraid of me.
