Gallup Poll: If You Could Talk With President Bush for 15 Minutes
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 01:55 PM by sabra

Gallup's April 18-21, 2005 national survey of 1,003 randomly selected Americans included this simple question: "If you could talk with President George W. Bush for fifteen minutes and give him advice about anything that's on your mind, what would you tell him?"

The following are verbatim responses to that survey question. (Note: Gallup edited these responses for language.)
<</SNIP>>

Some are good:

Keep up the good job. Male, age 41

Keep following the Lord. Female, age 23

More not so good:

That he's an idiot because he turned the surplus to the deficit. Female, age 35

Leave Social Security alone. Female, age 58

Go back to Texas. Male, age 48

Quit robbing our country. Female, age 45

To get out of office. Female, age 76

Get the (swear word) out of Iraq. Male, age 48

4. You would be telling that to the wrong person.
His response most likely would be, "I will have to check with Dick (Chaney)first".

5. I would give him bad advice like:
Lower the tax on the rich and raise taxes on the middle class. Oh, that's right, you have already done that. Tell him to do it again and justify it by saying God commanded him to do it.

De fund federal courts that do not toe the ideological line of the Christian right.

Public declarations that the US is a Theocracy and then forbid women from holding jobs outside the home except for nurses, teachers, and hookers.

Make childbirth mandatory.

Declare torture an American value.

Wear a crown in public.

Reinstitute the draft with exemptions for the rich.

9. Here's a good response from a freepazoid:
My 15 mins with President Bush:

5 mins of stunned almost silence thanking him for providing steady and strong moral leadership in troubled times.

5 mins of learning how he stays focused and finds time to pray with all of the whirlwinds that spin around him daily.

3 mins of emphatically encouraging him to continue the fight to reform SS and the Tax code.

2 mins of trying to covince him I am not in fact too old to date his daughters. (I imagine that this would take less than the alloted 2 mins as both he and my wife would send me on my merry way at about the 3 second mark.)

15. This from a friend of mine:
"I'd ask him why he says nuk-u-lar for "nuclear" and why he pronounces Kiev as Keeve."
