If you could get five minutes alone with the president of your country what would you say? What questions would you ask him (or her)? I'm a big fan of celebrities, including presidents, so I'd most likely get tongue-tied and forget my words. But, I think I would ask the president if he likes to fish. For some reason, I can't think of anything more relevant to say to the President. Not that there isn't anything relevant one could say to a powerful political figure who controls the fate of nearly 300 million people with the single flip of a switch. But, when you have that kind of access, which words would be signifigant enough to express a volume of concern. Thinking about it now, I might voice my concern for children and seniors who live in poverty in the US and aren't able to afford food or medical care when they need it. That's a real concern that is very close to my heart. For some reason, people tend to think of us as a rich nation, but then forget that each person is not rich. We're just regular people struggling day by day with money concerns, many barely able to afford the basic comforts or necessities of life. Where's the money for things we need like food when our jobs are constantly being cut? Well, you see, I did find some words! So, what would you say? Do you have any suggestions on what a person might ask the President if they could get five minutes of his time?
