Jimmy “The Rent is Too Damn High” McMillian announces his presidential campaign

After his unsuccessful bid for the New York governorship brought him worldwide recognition, Jimmy McMillian, founder of The Rent is Too Damn High party has officially announced that he is running for the 2012 Republican nomination for president.

In February, he filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to run as a Republican in the 2012 Presidential race. And he’s broadened his message.

“Rent is too damn high is my slogan. Gasoline is too damn high is my slogan and the deficit is too damn high,” McMillan told Fox News. “And last but not least, everything is too damn high and that is my entire slogan to help get this country on the right track.”

McMillan says the country has been “punked” by the Democratic Party and wants Congress and the President to take working people seriously.

“The world is in turmoil,” McMillan says. “What is happening in the Arab world is happening here, corrupt government, and I’m here to change that and I’m not playin’. I hope everybody takes me serious. This is not a joke. This is not Saturday Night Live.”

McMillan is still looking for a First Lady. His website claims McMillan “has been single for more than 30 years and is looking for a date.”
