Fields for President

In this wonderful parody from 1940, W.C. Fields announces his candidacy for Americas highest office. He offers sound advice on a number of topics in classic Fields-style humor in his attempt to win votes. Campaign resolutions are no better than New Years resolutions, he writes. They are thrown together hastily at the last minute, with never a thought as to how they may be gracefully broken. Now, I am a candidate with years of experience breaking New Years resolutions, and what I can accomplish with those, I can certainly accomplish with campaign resolutions.
