So, What Would YOU Ask the President?

[freesqueeze]

If you had the "more rare than hen's teeth" opportunity to ask bubble boy an unscripted question, what would you ask?

Here's mine (don't know why none of the WH press corps thinks this is worth asking)

Mr. President, the number of Americans living in poverty has gone up each year of your administration. Can you point to any of your policies that have contributed to this dismal record? Can you think of any changes in your policies that could help turn this unprecedented trend around? And, have you ever personally known anyone living below the poverty line?

[Catfight]

1. Mr. President, why do you sleep with the enemy? Why did you let

Osama's family fly out of the US on 9/13?

[Vickers]

2. "Why did you give up your flight status in the middle of a war?"

:shrug:

No pilot does that, EVER. Especially fighter :eyes: pilots.

[freesqueeze]

26. Great question...

I can hear the stuttering already.

[blm]

3. Why should any parent or grandparent vote for lawmakers who believe in

the End Times scenario and who would use their influence on important policy matters to encourage conditions friendly to the predictions of Armageddon?

[Vinca]

4. Your Majesty, why do you hate America? nt

[Shipwack]

5. "Mr. President, despite being a nation at war, recruiting..."

"Mr. President, despite being a nation at war, the Armed Forces are having problems recruiting young Americans to help defend the nation. In order to set a good example, do you think your daughters Jenna and Barbara should enlist? If yes, why haven't they? If no, why not?"

[graywarrior]

6. Can you ask God why your ratings suck?

[tanyev]

7. Mr. President, some people say that you are the Antichrist.

Can you refute that?

[underpants]

8. Were you born AWESOME or do you have to practice it?

9. Which president--Gore or Kerry?

Those are the only two I'd acknowledge! ;) Otherwise I have no president.

10. Have you asked your daughters to enlist in the Army to fight in Iraq?

[mmonk]

11. Who controls the executive branch,

the neocons, corporations, or both?

[yellowdogmi]

12. Hey bush boy, you claim to be a good christian.

How can you claim that when you have been such an awful steward of the environment? Or, Mr. Resident how long do you think it will take to undo the damage you have done to this nation?

[freesqueeze]

16. GREAT!

"how long do you think it will take to undo the damage you have done to this nation?"

Especially in light of recent admission that he's planning on walking away from the decimation that is his administration and leaving to the next guy (whoever that poor shmow may be)

13. Mr. President,

Currently in Iraq, there are poor teenagers in military uniforms blown apart by IEDs, or committing suicide because you invaded a country that was not a threat to the United States. Do you plan to kill another 2,500 Americans and hundreds of thousands more Middle-Easterners in Iran because you wrongly believe they also have weapons of mass destruction?

[Mrspeeker]

14. Please step down now!

:)

[mmonk]

18. Yes, either that or step off.

[Minnesota Libra]

15. My question would be, "When are you going to resign and......

.....take all these neocon/fundie thugs with you?":headbang:

[melissinha]

17. Do you actually know what proper budgeting is?

You take in more or at least the same as you spend.

Somebody has never been on a budget.

[grasswire]

19. I believe the way to get to W is to impugn his family.

And so I would just ask:

"Mr. Bush, could you tell us how much money your father has made from his financial dealings that were affected by your decision to attack and invade Iraq?

Followup:

"Would the Bush family open its books and provide data regarding any business transaction related to taxpayer spending?"

[melissinha]

25. NO ONE asks that one

Now THAT should be Helen or David's next question!!!!

:kick:

[kentuck]

20. Why do you continue to attack straw men instead of answering the question?

...and I have a follow-up. :)

[MadisonProgressive]

21. Jesus, what's your fucking problem, dickwad?!?!?!?!?!??

[riona]

22. would it be possible for you to rapture yourself up now?

[Dulcinea]

23. Why did you REALLY start this war?

Helen Thomas beat me to it.

[coalition_unwilling]

24. Would you please define the "scientific method" and give one example?

[InsanityInc]

27. Why was it necessary to invade Iraq

When other Arabic nations were more involved and had more ties to the terrorists of 9/11

[Blue Shark]

28. How many times ya been arrested George? N/T
