W had an "Ask the President" in Iowa today-seriously

[underpants]

LBN thread here

What would you ask him?
What kind of answer would you expect?
Was anyone able to actually ask a question?
Would all questions have to be pre-written and accompanied by pictures?

1. Funny - I don't see Gore in that picture...

[nickinSTL]

2. wouldn't matter

what I asked, his people would be dragging me out before I finished asking the question...and he'd move on to someone who'd ask him an idiot question.

3. CAPTION: Renaming Iowa to "W" is going to be a real timesaver!

11. Yeah-unless the Yahoo caption is wrong

ioWa I guess.

[calico1]

4. I am sure that like everything else

the people asking questions were pre-picked and the question already known.

5. The answer to any question would be:

"Terra terra terra, Saddam Bad, Saddam Gone, World Safer, few bad apples, economy great, hate our freedoms, coalishn is strong, Gawd told me so you know its all true."

Nexsh queshion.

6. Questions: Irrelevant. Here are the answers:

Mix and match!

Evildoers and murderers defeated.
America is safer.
Tax cuts working.
Tort reform needed.
Saddam was a threat.
I am right.
They are wrong.
Because I said so.

They could just put a See n' Say on the dais to much the same effect:

Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States:



"The evildoer says: "moooooooooooo".

13. Most Liberal ever! Out of the mainstream

John Kerry wants to raise your taxes.
Flip-flopper.

Love the see and say idea!

7. Anyone at that......"Ask the President"

fiasco was, no doubt, INVITED. They were (probably) given the question to ask and he had a notecard with the answer to the question. Just like his press conferences. He's incapable of answering any off the cuff question. I know his handlers didn't let him loose at that without staging the whole thing.

8. What are your plans for 2005...when Kerry is taking your job?

:evilgrin:

9. Have you thought of any mistakes yet? Or...

Or:
1) Before the war, the White House said that human rights violations alone were not enough justification for invading Iraq. Now, that is all we have left for justification. With that in mind, should the other 100+ nations that have committed major human rights violations, including China & Saudi Arabia, also be held to the same standard? Also, we already know China has WMD.

2) Before the Iraq & Afghanistan invasions, you were quoted as saying "I've been to war, and I've raised twins, let me tell you, raising twins is harder." Which war have you been to, may I ask?

3) During the 2000 campaign, you said gay marriage was a state's issue, now you support an amendment to ban it. Why the flip-flop? And please don't say activist judges in Massachusetts, since 5 out of 7 were Republican appointees.

4) You've packaged wholesale rape of the environment under pretty names like Clear Skies & Healthy Forests. Is Clean Water next?

10. "Will Martha Stewart still be in jail when you enter YOUR cell?"

12. why did your brother implement martial law in florida days

before 9/11. why did you have a ground to air missile launcher installed on your hotel night before 9/11 if you never thought of a plane flying into building and finally.........how could you see the first plane fly into building per two or three times you saying when i saw the first plane fly into building i thought what a bad pilot. and couldnt be the second plane, you were sitting in a classroom, when there was no video of the first plane until the next day.

14. I would seriously ask, Why does God tell you things contrary to his

teachings? Then I would seriously ask if he had snapshots of his nude bar dancing when he was spposed to be pulling Guard duty. You know the Bar in Georgia according to Hatfield that he climbed on and danced nude..shedding his uniform.

15. if the questions were "screened"

then it wasn't ask the pResident - it was ask the parrot
