POLITICAL POLL: President Bush... Friend or Foe ?

My dog would bite him on the but LOL
she's real picky about who get into the yard

. Do you accept his offer and invite him into your house or egg his car when he pulls up? I don't accept the offer.

2. What are you serving him? Steak and lobster or burgers and beans? Nothing - he doesn't come

3. Have you lost respect for the office of the President during the last 7.5 years? Why or why not? No - because that would imply I had respect for it during the years prior to the last 7.5 years.

George W Bush is definitely a friend of mine. He is a decent human being who is not interested in following the whims of public opinion.

I would invite him in for a barbeque of burgers and beans (like in Crawford). And no, I have not lost any respect for him. It has only gained, since he has stayed the course regardless of public opinon.

1. Do you accept his offer and invite him into your house or egg his car when he pulls up?

The Constitution guarentees us the right to "address the government for a redress of grievances". What better way than to have an hour or two alone with the president.


2. What are you serving him? Steak and lobster or burgers and beans?

Whatever the family is eating, usually chicken or hamburger.


3. Have you lost respect for the office of the President during the last 7.5 years? Why or why not?

All of our elected officials take an oath to "uphold the constitution." The president and most of congress have spent the lst 7 1/2 years trying to finagle 'work-arounds" or just flagrantly ignoring it altogether.

This behavior does not earn my respect, even on those rare occasions when the intentions may be honorable.

1. Do you accept his offer and invite him into your house or egg his car when he pulls up? I accept

2. What are you serving him? Steak and lobster or burgers and beans?

probably burgers he seems more like the burger type.

3. Have you lost respect for the office of the President during the last 7.5 years? Why
or why not?

No not at all. I think he has done the best he can and has done what he believes to be right for the country.

I wouldn't accept. I have no respect for his cowboy diplomacy.

I would go all out. I despise the guy but it might be my chance to get a show on the cooking network ;)

This traitorous ignorant pile of crap better never darken my door.

1. Invite him graciously into my home.
2. Serve him his favorite meal, whatever that is.
3. No I have not. If anything, I respect him more for staying the course and remaining true to his beliefs, and going against the tide.

1. Do you accept his offer and invite him into your house or egg his car when he pulls up?

I would accept his offer, but let him know right up front, that I ''never'' have regarded him ''my'' president, and that I am disgusted at what he has done to this country. Then If he still wanted to come over, I would be a gracious host.

2. What are you serving him? Steak and lobster or burgers and beans?

I would probably serve him a TV dinner, or maybe caned soup and a sandwich, as his economy has reduced a number of Americans to eating just that.

3. Have you lost respect for the office of the President during the last 7.5 years? Why or why not?

Yes!! Because of his record on the middle class and the poor. Then I would ask him if he would buy my house for a pretty hefty profit to me, since this is supposed to be a part of my retirement, and it's partially his fault that the value of it has declined.

Hey, you asked!!!

wow these are some great responses. Here's mine.

I would accept his offer and invite him in. But I"d have my kids unload a carton of eggs on his wheels when the secret service wasn't looking.

I'd serve him burgers and beans.

I have lost respect for the office of President over my lifetime. The more the president tries to "rule" the country the more I lose respect. Congress should be having a bigger influence on our government- at least it says so in the Constitution.

I'm sure we could find something to talk about...

Honestly I do not want him at my house. He has taken the office of the presidency to the depths incompetence. Your doctor tells you that you have a rash and he treats your for a rash five years but it gets worse. Finally you get a second opinion which tells you that you have skin cancer. The orginal doctor stayed the course, which some people seem to think is an admirable quality even if the course is wrong. But you still have advanced untreated skin cancer. Would you continue to go to the first doctor? I think not.

"But I"d have my kids unload a carton of eggs on his wheels when the secret service wasn't looking."

Trust me the secret service is always looking. I have a friend in the secret service that works the presidents detail.

I would have the President over to my house and serve him burgers and beans. I would talk to him about a number of issues number one being the number of Americans who have lost their jobs due to NAFTA and our trade agreements with China. I would also talk to him about being 1.9 trillion dollars in debt and still funneling money into Iraq, not the war but Iraq itself. Our people at home could use that money more than the people in Iraq. I would listen to what he has to say and when dinner was over I would thank him for comming and see him to the door.

I would invite him over for steak and lobster and whatever he wanted. I would thank him for his service too.

Well, that's quite a scenario you have there so here are my answers...

1. I'll gladly accept -if- the event is broadcasted "live" over national TV, radio and the internet;

2. I'll serve him whatever I believe is fit for a guest — and it'll most likely be very good;

3. My respect for Americans is higher than ever but however, I can't find it in me to respect people who carry their secret agendas over and above all other agendas, especially those which would be best for the American citizens — I'll allow for GWB to entertain me (for as long as he wishes) regarding this matter.

A Head of State visiting you, at your own house, is a rare opportunity to (realistically) be lied at most of the time -but- if you listen carefully, there's a chance you might learn a few interesting things, in the process.

I would invite him, then spend the whole night telling him what I think of him, myself. By the end of the night, he'd be begging to be called "Turd blossom" himself. I have enormous respect for the office of the president, but I usually prefer to give that respect to someone that actually won an election.

And I wouldn't feed him. Inflation is over five percent, he's the cause, and I prefer to have the money to feed my dog, thank you very much.

You get a call from the Secret Service, George Bush wants to come over for dinner tonight.

1. Do you accept his offer and invite him into your house or egg his car when he pulls up?

First I cry and scream and say every cuss word I know, and then I say, "If I have to."

2. What are you serving him? Steak and lobster or burgers and beans?

Half of whatever I planned to have myself.

3. Have you lost respect for the office of the President during the last 7.5 years? Why or why not?

The office? I have no respect for Bush, but that's nothing new. I had no respect for him 8 or 9 years ago, either. I have no respect for the people who put him where he is today, or who have supported him. But I have no hard feelings toward the office or the position.

I don't think he's been a good President, but I'd still welcome the opportunity to have him to dinner, because, hey...he IS the President. If GW was up for it, then I'd invite over all my friends (who pretty much hate him) but I'd make them promise to not shoot him or do anything else that would get anyone in jail. I'd want to host a kind of reality-TV-show debate or Q&A.

1. Do you accept his offer and invite him into your house or egg his car when he pulls up?

I would absolutely and gladly accept his offer. What better chance to give direct feedback, good and bad, to the one person who has taken on the responsibility of running the country? I would certainly welcome the opportunity to explain my point of view to him. It's too late to change what he's done, but perhaps he could still make useful contributions in his post-President life, as have Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush.

2. What are you serving him? Steak and lobster or burgers and beans?

Who cares.

3. Have you lost respect for the office of the President during the last 7.5 years? Why or why not?

I haven't lost respect for the office of the President, just respect for the man who has been serving in that office for the last 7.5 years. Respect for the office itself can be restored by electing and holding accountable a new President in November. This is what I plan to do, and having a one-on-one conversation with the outgoing President can provide valuable insight into how to work with the incoming President.

I'd absolutely invite him over. Then, I'd strip him naked, attach electrodes to his gonads, waterboard him, deprive him of sleep, let my dogs snarl and nip at his pee-pee, and beat him to within a micron of organ failure, since that's legal, according to him.

I have lost no respect of the office of the presidency during his horrific, miserably failed, corrupt 7-1/2 years of terror, because, regardless of how corrupt and pathetic he's been, the office itself remains better than him, by far. Someone with integrity can and hopefully will restore integrity and some degree of honesty, as well as constitutionality to the white house, once junior is thrown out on his sorry ass.

I had little respect for him eight years ago and even less now. For those whose response was that he stayed the course even in the face of a differnt public opinon I have difficulty in grasping that in that I suppose you did not see how negative he has been for our well being.

I just recently did a service call where a woman complained that her kitchen sink would not drain all the way. She used a well known company but they scheduled a return appointment so far out she refused to wait that long. I arrived and as soon as I opened the cabinet doors under the sink I saw the problem. The trap from the sink was lower than the drain pipe leading to the basement which meant water had to run uphill to drain which it will not. I simplt cut about three inches of than drain pipe off and installed a cupling and all was fine. Even though a well known company had done the work it still was done wrong. The same way I feel about GWB. He is a well known source but did not do the job well enough to satisfy my needs.

No, he cannot step foot in my house.

Serve him food. He better fix the economy if he is hungry.

He pardoned himself for the war crimes he committed. He may still have to answer to NATO.

Quite a range, Matt.

I liked the way you framed the questions.
