Poll question: What Is The Proper Etiquette
You are at lunch with a treasured client and he announces Bush is a great president...

What do you do?

1. Tough
I'd change the subject or leave, depending on my mood that day. Knowing me, I'd probably leave without a word of explanation.

3. I Just Change The Subject And Move On...
It's happened before...

They usually can tell I disagree with their assessment but no way will I say something I don't believe to ingratiate myself with anybody...

4. None of the above.
Politics and business don't mix! Ignore the comment and GET BACK TO WORK!!

5. Change Subject. Plus...
Stick him with the bill. If he objects, say that only people making more than $200,000 a year have any reason to support Bush. Therefore he must have a lot more money that I do, and can afford the bill.

If he objects, remind him that HE'S the one who brought up politics during lunch, which, btw, is a business lunch breach of etiquette.

And don't forget to keep smiling.

:)

7. "Yes he is, compared the the asswipe that
was in the White House the LAST 4 years."

A Bushbot won't catch that one for a week after it's said.
