What one question would you ask * in a press conference?
OK, you're Helen Thomas and Junior makes the mistake of calling on you--you have one chance to pin the tail on the chimp...

Mine: "Mr. President, because the UN Charter requires that a nation be under 'armed attack' to initiate hostilties, does America's disregard for that requirement in Iraq constitute a withdrawal from the terms of the Charter, and what kind of example do you feel that sets for other countries?"

Yours?

1. who's running the country?
the problem is, he wouldn't know, which is the problem with any question you might want to ask him.

2. Mr. President
as a practicing Christian, how do you reconcile your policies against the poor and in favor of the rich with Christ's statement "Whatsoever you do unto the least of these you do unto Me"?

5. Why won't you go visit the parents
and families of all the 1667 soldiers who died, and look everyone of them in the eye, and give all the 13,000 troops who have been wounded
the VA system they deserve?

For whose benefit do you and your administration
have private townhall meetings only with invited citizens who are designated republican supporters? Are you proposing that only republican tax dollars pay for your activities? Exactly when will you hold a townhall meeting with citizens who are members of the democratic party?

14. You claim that that the
Social Security trustfund is nothing but "IOUs" and yet much of your personal wealth is held in the same treasury bills that make up the Social Security trustfund. Does that mean you consider your personal financial security contingent on IOUs?

oooh
good one--he would probably evade by just going to a rehash about "fixing SS blah blah blah" (which I guess he could do for any question). Problem is they don't allow followups :(

17. Mr. Bush - which would you consider to be a bigger scandal?
Edited on Sun May-29-05 01:43 PM by FLDem5
the forged memo whose contents were none-the-less verified by Marian Carr Knox which told the truth about your service in the National Guard

or the forged memo that John Bolton used in his "Fact Sheet" to falsely justify our invading Iraq to the United Nations?

18. Why have you not attended the funeral of any soldier who died for you?
(And if someone already has asked that):

What medications are you on and why do they make you fall off your bike?

19. Since you have announced that combat operations are over
in Iraq, at what date approximately can we expect our troops to start coming home?

I think this is a fairly easy question to answer if the person answering it is a straight forward person:

Here is what I would consider an honest answer.



I was premature in announcing combat operations were over. We really try to keep Americans in the dark about this, but by now you must know, from all the new's leaks, that there is still a war raging on over there.

As you can see I can't answer your question with an approximate date since the situation on the war front has changed. We don't know.

This would be Bush's answer:

Ahhhhooooowwwwweeeee.............thank you very much people. My time is up. Goodby.

20. The answer almost doesn't matter
We already know what he's going to say--just make a point and go home. About all we could expect.
