At first thought I would probably be like "Your kidding me right?" Then we would have to go through him convincing me that the President of the US was actually calling me. After that- I would ask some honest questions- such as "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?" Where is Saddam? Where are the weapons of mass destruction we were so called looking for? Why do none of your decisions benefit me- a middle class tax payer? Why are you slowly cutting away at the money for non-profit organizations such as the one I work for? What REALLY happened on September 11th? Why is there so much conspiracy theories and come proof that this had to be an inside (USA) job- a scare tactic if you will to keep Americans on your side with funding this outrageous war? Shall I go on.....lol.

ooops sorry ladies and gents- I meant to say "where is OB AMA"- But now that I think of it- another question would be- Did you really find Saddam in that whole- because I heard it was set up to look like that????

"Hello, ____ residence, ____ speaking -" I am sorry, Mr. President, I believe you have the wrong number.

ROFLMAO!!!! That is great. Yeah, I would have very little to say to him myself. What good would it do the country for me to tell him my opininon of his decisions.

I am not American and have no GOOD thoughts on the man , he is evil I think ... With all he has going on in the world , but if he called me I would simply tell him what I thought of him , I have an incense burner of satan and he is a splitting image of him ... Both as ugly as can be ... I also would tell him what I think of him VETO-ing Stem Cell research , he is the only one out there that wont pass the bill for approval, there are so many diseases out there that would benefit even cure ... In my case MS it has already cured alot of people and he is against it , I think its only cause the FDA and other Government agencies won`t make the money from prescriptions ... I am on Avonex , injections once a week , for life and itcosting 86,000 dollars a year , and it won`t even cure it all it will do is slow down the disease , in other words I will live longer and suffer longer as will 100 of thousands of people suffering with this disease , so at that rate no wonder he wont approve it . He says its cause embronic cells they are experimenting with but it is our own stem cells that are rejuvenated back to new born state , like you were just born and they clense it so they`ll work as if there was never anything wrong with us ... So why does he let them use it for other diseases , he must have relates with Alzheimers or something similar , thats why he ok`d it for the other diseases . What do you think about what he is doing ??? EVIL EVIL EVIL !!!

Oh mercy...a phone call from our CURRENT president? After I ascertained that it was really the president of our great country, I think I'd be inclined to tell him he's doing a rotten job of taking care of our country, to quit acting like he's a dictator (with the emphasis on dic) or the king of Congress (emphasis on con), and then slam the phone down for emphasis. If it was Kennedy, or (almost) any others, I'd be polite and invite them to tea lol.

I'd ask him if he'd ever had a psychiatric evaluation and/or an IQ test. I would then ask him if there were IQ requirements for the Presidency and if so, how in the HELL did he manage to fool someone into believing that he PASSED?!?!?!?!?!?!? The man is an IDIOT!

If that is Mr. Bush, I'll say "leave your troops from Iraq and manage your own country...don't attack other country that lives with peace".

Well because I live in Canada I guess the first words out of my mouth would be, "Sorry sir I think you have the wrong number." I can't imagine why he'd want to talk to me. LOL.

"Hello... Hi... Oh really you're Pres. Bush? Coz I think you're not. " I think somebody dials a number for a president, a president doesn't dial a number unless it is for his own family. So I would think it is just a hoax.

I'd ask, "Why are you calling me?" There should be a good reason why he's calling.

Out of habit I would probably say "Hi, this is Laura, how may help you?" Then think to myself, did he say president? did he say of the United States? what in the world does he want.

Say 'Hello?' originally. Long pause. Followed by another long pause, making the whole thing one huge bout of silence. Then I'd sit the phone down and walk away. Honestly I probably don't know enough about politics to intelligently gripe about anything, so rather than embarrass myself I would just sit the phone down and let him talk to himself. He'd catch on eventually. ...I think.

Honestly?....This sitting president? I pick up the phone and intelligently and with grand articulation I explain to him how absolutely embarrassed I am to have him representing ( notice I didn't say "leading") my country. I would tell him how ashamed I have become of what our country has become and how disappointed I am. I would ask him how he sleeps at night knowing the lives he has lost in vain....and I would tell him that I am really most dismayed that he associates his actions with those driven and encouraged by God. I would have no fear or nervousness when speaking to him...and I would hope that the repulsion I feel for him could be felt by him...If I were in a crowd and he was shaking hands, I could not and would not shake his hand..that is reserved for those I respect...he gets no respect from me...his judgement will come later, as will mine...we are both just human beings..but one of us has respect for the lives of others...the other one doesn't know the meaning of true respect... This is not meant to inflame or disturb anyone..it's simply my own opinion, to which I am still entitled...I respect the views of others and hope not to offend anyone..( of course that doesn't include George W. Bush)

Well pretty much like anyone here I would at first think its a prank call from someone. Since voices usally sound different on the phone. I would also be confused woundering why the president of the united states is calling me. But I would still think its a prank from someone possibly a friend of mine or stranger I bet a lot of people would to. Actually pretty much everyone would.

Well first of all I would be kind of scared because I would wonder what I did to make the president call me lol THen I would ask how his day was going and then get all of the small talk out of the way...like hey hows everything going how do you think that the elections will go...who do you think would be best in the office next time...and then I would say man what are you all doing to this country lol I mean why are we at war with so many countries and when are we going to get out of the other countries lol!!!!
