Well, Ron, it looks like your long time job might come to an end!
Not quite sure what a clown does in retirement.
I guess Obama might be able to tell us what HE is going to do in retirement (Asap!).
Personally, I prefer WENDY'S!

****Message to McDonald’s: Ditch Ronald
A group that campaigned against the Joe Camel cigarette mascot in the ’90s is asking McDonald’s Corp. to retire its Ronald McDonald mascot.
In ads taken out in the Chicago Sun-Times and other newspapers, Corporate Accountability International says Ronald encourages kids to eat junk food, contributing to a rise in childhood obesity and related diseases such as diabetes.
The ad critical of the 48-year-old spokesclown is signed by more than 550 health groups and professionals.
McDonald’s says it is proud of the food it offers and that Ronald teaches children to be active.
McDonald’s defended Ronald against the group’s attack at last year’s annual meeting. Marlena Peleo-Lazar, the company’s chief creative officer, describes Ronald as “a force for good.”
New commercials show him as an active, athletic clown who plays soccer, shoots hoops and encourages kids to visit Happymeal.com.
