Were a President Hillary Clinton to spend time cutting the brush on a fake pig farm,

[BuyingThyme]

would the American people view it as presidential?

1. What a wonderful reality check!

Thanks. :thumbsup: :kick:

2. Is she wearing overalls and a straw hat?

:shrug:

[BuyingThyme]

4. I guess overalls would be an appropriate choice, but

what kind of straw hat are we talking about here?

[XemaSab]

5. a la Huck Finn

:shrug:

[BuyingThyme]

8. That would work for me.

But only if she's the one who actually broke it in. And a brand new one might not sell.

[Seabiscuit]

3. With the dumbed-down voting populace in Amerika? Of course!

The media portrays smirking and "yuk yuk"ing by the current moron in the White House as "presidential". So why not?

Now watch this shot.

[Occam Bandage]

6. Problem: most Americans don't think that dumbfuck is Presidential, either.

[BuyingThyme]

9. But don't you think Americans generally ate up that cutting the brush crap

(as being presidential) before they realized he was just using it to pad his nightly Chimp nest?

[Occam Bandage]

10. Some ate it up. Of those, I'd divide them into two categories:

1. The 19-percenters who'd think it was Presidential if that dumbfuck were to shit his pants.
2. The people who saw it as making him more approachable and everyman-ish. Those are desirable qualities for many, but I don't think those are Presidential qualities.

12. I think they had the word PRESIDENTIAL in mind

when they bought that ranch for him. I suspect they even went out of their way to grow a patch of brush just so he could cut it.

7. Only if she were to use a STIHL 18" Chain Saw with safety and dexterity....she would be a MAN

unlike Bush who is reduced to carrying the brush cut by his crew...him being dangerous with any tool.

and to think, he is the Best them GOP got to come fool us.

To Fool is to Rule....

[BuyingThyme]

11. It would depend on the brush.

You don't want to overplay the hand.

[opihimoimoi]

14. Thorny Mesquite...5 to 7 inch branches/stumps....never mind the tumble weeds

[BuyingThyme]

15. You could play the Smokey Bear card with that mess.

Anything Smokey is presidential.

[BuyingThyme]

13. ..

[BuyingThyme]

16. I wonder why so few people have responded to this poll,

after so many responded to this one:

[HooptieWagon]

17. I wonder why

clearing brush and chopping wood are viewed as "presidential", and changing the oil on a pickup or unclogging a toilet aren't. Wouldn't those be more common chores to relate to?

[BuyingThyme]

19. I can relate to all of the above.

I've been paid to do all of the above.

21. Cheney fixed the toilets in the White House.

When he was Ford's White House Deputy Chief of Staff

Lol.

[Obamaman2008]

22. Now there is too much in WH for him to flush down just 300 toilets nt

[BuyingThyme]

23. Wow. You nailed that one.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

18. Only if she were wearing her flag lapel pin while doing it.

:P

[BuyingThyme]

20. And one of those Uncle Sam hats.

[BuyingThyme]

24. I think one last kcik is in order.

:kick:

[Spirochete]

25. Of course.

Her and Bill could do the duet on the Green Acres song.
