you do not have to think about what you would like to be. it is always on your table. all you got to do is just take a butter knife and spread it on the toast.

Although the people do not favour you, as they have had a belly full of the Rs, we do know that you like to keep it in the family.

of course why should he think of the ceremonial PM post when he has made himself the all powerful economic minister...now the next natural step forward is the absolute power, the executive presidency.
