Gallup today released -- exclusively to me -- some examples of the actual wording respondents used in response to the open-ended question. A nonscientific sampling:

* "Leave Iraq. Get his head out of the sand. I would tell him that his expectations are unrealistic and that his friends are making too much money on the war and that there are people dying. Also, if it's such a good idea, he should be sending his daughters."

* "Continue doing the job he is doing and not worry about the press."

* "I would tell him I appreciated him being the president, but I would like him to bring those people in Iraq home, because there has been enough suffering."

* "It's not a disgrace to admit you made a mistake. Stand up tall and be a man and say, 'Hey, I blew it.' Bring the troops home because you are just making it worse."

* "I would say what is wrong with your crazy , what the hell are you doing, we went over there to get oil and straighten these people out, and we are paying out of the nose for gasoline now."

* "Quit giving out so damn much information."

* "Admit up front that what we set out to do is going to take up to 40 years to do."

* "Stay the course and finish it."

* "Get out. Let them fight for themselves."

* "Get out of Iraq and start thinking about the American people and not about himself."

* "Hold his ground and do what he knows is best."

* "Get out."

* "Shut his mouth and get out."

* "Enlist."
