Poll question: Poll: Would you meet with this president?
Scenario: You have been recognized for some achievement or event, and invited to the White House with six to ten others for the usual photo op and award ceremony. How would you respond, given there would be a small amount of (local) publicity in the lead-up to the meeting?


"I would . . .

2. That probably wouldn't be a good idea
I only have reasonable self control over my darker angels.

4. IF ALL my expenses were paid, I'd go and IGNORE the psychopath.
If he offered a handshake, I'd ignore it. If he put his hands on me I'd tell him "Don't touch me."

If they didn't pay ALL my expenses, I'd refuse to attend.

5. I'm not very good at smackdowns. And * has a nasty, mean-spirited
attitude even towards his adoring "commoners". I think my empty chair would speak better than I could smackdown.

6. I'd have to refuse
The photo-op would be a nightmare because it would be impossible for me to keep the disdainful look off my face.

7. When Bush ran in 2000 I was working at a hotel in West Palm Beach
Edited on Tue Jan-16-07 12:30 PM by monmouth
where he was to appear. (The Palm Beach money was invited). I was a secretary there, Scooter came in the last day to finish up preps. Much background and "weeding" out of attendees. I liked Scooter, very professional, was happy when I mentioned how nice, well mannered and smart the boys were that had to do the pre-work. He asked if I was going to attend as I was helping him figure out the copy machine. I smiled at him and quietly stated "Good God, no" and then walked away. Funny, he didn't chat me up anymore after that......LOL

8. I've already "met" the man
many years ago, and I'll tell y'all the story when that family is out of power and, with any luck at all, out of the country, counting all their stolen dollars on the ranch in Paraguay.

9. While putting him down at a ceremony would be satisfying...
...I would be thoroughly investigated beforehand. His handlers would make sure I never got invited in the first place.

13. Would have to decline, vociferously, because couldn't trust
myself not to spit in his face. And I wouldn't want to get locked away for 'assaulting' the pRESIDENT.

14. I would decline but if they would let me carry an old fashioned
medieval era slop bucket in I would. You can guess what I would do with that slop bucket.
