I guess, when you look at all the issues and certainly in the current economic times, at times you hate to see both parties going at each other like they do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You feel at times, man this is counter-productive, why can&#8217;t we just stick to the issues? Why can&#8217;t we just work to resolve some of the problems that our country has and the rest of the global economy has and (focus on) ways that we can help?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like &#8216;I can make a difference&#8217;. But it&#8217;s not one person, you need so many others. I would love to do it, probably at some point, but I&#8217;ll wait a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brees, an articulate speaker and effective communicator who is involved in several community projects, said he wasn&#8217;t ready to make the switch just yet.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he was ready to enter politics, Brees said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d consider it, I am not going to close any doors, hopefully that&#8217;s some way away, I&#8217;d love to be able to play football for as long as I can but we&#8217;ll see. There are lots of thing I want to do after I stop playing,&#8221; said the 32-year-old, who was MVP in last year&#8217;s Super Bowl win over the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/02\/07\/drew-brees-political-career_n_819499.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Huffington Post: Read Full Story<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>PFP Sports and Celebrity Talent Agency is a speakers bureau and top booking agent for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playingfieldpromotions.com\">sports speakers<\/a>, football speakers, athlete appearances, endorsement deals and celebrity bookings.
