15 Minutes...

[Big Black Dog]

What would you tell the President of the United States if you were alone with him and had his full attention for 15 minutes?

 

[jillian]

That's actually an interesting question.

I'd tell him to stop trying to take a middle ground... because the people he thinks he wants to sing kumbaya with want him to fail and will never stop...and will never work with him.

You want him to be a neocon??!!

 

[Xenophon]

I'd have him watch as I perform the battle hym of the republic with flatulence.

 

[Chris]

Dump Joe Biden and make the Governor of Michigan vice president.

 

[JW Frogen]

I would ask him what his policy on having a smaller penis than me is?

No can do. She was born Canuck.

 

[California Girl]

I would ask him to read the US Constitution to me. Then I would hit him upside the head* and ask him if it's too hard for any of these idiots to actually run the country in accordance with said document.

*I always resort to violence - it is neither big nor clever - but it works.

 

[Si modo]

I wouldn't need 15 minutes. I would plead with him to stop acting like Candidate Obame and start acting like President Obama. My country deserves that.

Then I would ask him where the bar is and have a drink with him.

Trickle-down economics does not work. Start a serious WPA program.

Our FREE TRADE policies are whack...change them

Afghanistan is going to be your bigggest policy mistake. If you want to declare war on somebody, bomb K Street

Those nutters out there who want to change the way the FED operate are right.

Until every citizen can borrow directly from the FED, the monetary system this nation has is classist and guaranteed to create a master class and a debtor class.

Don't let Rahm 'Rohypnol' Emmanuel be bartender.

He said Obama, not Bush.

SSDD, there are plenty of Peter Pans on both sides.

I'd tell him to find his balls and stop being so "deferential" to Congress. If the man is as serious about his policy proposals and about putting the brakes on the porkfest as he claimed, he has a nice shiny veto pen to get his point across. Use it!

As he seems to be GWB the Third, we'll see no vetoes during his (first?) term. That's my bet.

Carter tried that.

Maybe he just needs some better ideas?

And that's what disppoints me the most about him so far. I know he's trying to stay true to his interpretation of the Constitutional balance of power and I respect that to some degree. I also see he's trying to avoid an interparty war like the problems that plagued Carter. But he fails to understand the nature of leadership as opposed to being a member of the pack as he was in the Senate.

I couldn't agree more, especially with your last line.

Carter failed miserably for lack of that mix of wisdom and ruthlessness that makes an efficient leader. Obama is probably the most intelligent POTUS we've had in decades, but that hasn't translated into the kind of smarts the WH requires. Pity, I had high hopes for him.

 

[Claudette]

I would tell him to forget his socialist agenda Forget about healthcare, green and crap and trade and get down to the eonomy. Read a little history and see what worked to create jobs and get to it. I would also tell him to read the constitution. Thats something he really needs to do.

 

[WillowTree]

I'd tell the butthole to keep doing what he's doing!
