This past week, Q-line asked: “If you had 15 minutes with President Bush, what you would ask and discuss with him?”

Here are your responses: ✆ “I would ask him three questions: ‘What’s wrong with you?’ ‘What the hell do you think you are doing?’ and ‘Do you suffer from a small man’s complex?’” ✆ “What a stupid question you are asking. I wouldn’t waste one minute of my time talking to what we call the so-called president. To me, he’s not a president at all — he sends these boys to Iraq, where we’re killing thousands of them and wouldn’t bring them back. Me waste my time talking to him? I’d rather talk to a dog than talk to that so-called president.” ✆ “In any discussion with GWB, our homeland security should be top priority, especially military presence all along the border between Mexico and the United States to prevent illegal immigration. Everything else is secondary and hinges one way or another on this. Second to this, I would add, get our military people out of Iraq.” ✆ “Why Mr. President, when you have to depend on information from your advisors, do you not take their advice and often discredit or terminate them when their suggestions in fact do not flow with your slow-flow of thinking? Namely, four-star general Colin Powell and the various inspectors who were searching for Iraq’s massive arms supplies and found none. And what is your love-affair with super-terrorist bin Laden? Do you derive erotic gratification when bin salutes you and all the rest of us with his middle finger? Or is it that bin is an Arab, and America depends on Arab oil to keep your friends in their fancy-pants, alligator shoes and Bentleys, very much like Nazi war crimes... escaped the news due to his family owning of the German Motor Works. What Mr. President, you do not understand my question? And you say that I am fired?” ✆ “My advice to President Bush is the same answer I gave to last week’s question and I hope you spell every word correctly: For some time now, the United States has been closing military bases throughout this wonderful country of ours. My recommendations are for you, President Bush, to open new armed forces bases along the southern borders of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The personnel stationed at each location, including the National Guard while on annual training exercises, as well as career soldiers should be utilized in the safe-guarding and protecting the borders from the Pacific Ocean on the West to the Gulf of Mexico on the East. This would not only stop the mass infusion of illegal immigrants migrating from the south, but would also be a boon to the economy, for each state in the surrounding areas along our borders.” ✆ “Hey Bush, how can I get a place in the underground city bunkers along with you, Cheney and others of the ruling elite and their lackeys for when you let loose the biowar topside to reduce the population to 500 million from 6 billion?” ✆ “Jobs, stop out-sourcing jobs. These corporations that outsource jobs, they should be taxed. Tax the hell out of them until they beg for mercy and then tax them again. Social Security is not broken just erase the salary caps so the rich people have to start paying more. Energy: Try making solar energy... feasible — stuff like that, things we can renew. Iraq law: He’s got that so screwed up, it’s beyond redemption. And countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel, we should not be supporting them one bit because they are dictatorships. The Israelis occupy Arab lands; the Saudis, they oppress half their population — as in the women. As far as the environment is concerned, Bush is going to trash that, we’ve got to stop him from doing that. We’ve got to tax the rich people, all the ones that get all of the tax breaks instead of the middle-class and the poor people, so tax his rich friends. As far as the border is concerned, put the troops on there. We don’t need all these illegal aliens coming in and taking what little jobs we have and destroying the rest of our country, turning it into a sewer just like Mexico is already. And they’re destroying our healthcare system. Hospitals are clogged with illegal aliens and they don’t pay so everyone else has to pay. That’s why we need to have nationalized health care. Get rid of these HMOs they don’t do anything. Get rid of the pharmaceutical big shots, they don’t do anything, just have them make the drugs and find the cures for the diseases. And the doctors should be treating the patients, the only people who should be making medical decisions are the doctors, not the Christian-Taliban, not the pencil pushers — they don’t know a thing about medicine, they shouldn’t be making medical decisions. As far as the special interests are concerned, the only special interest Bush ought to be concerned about is the American public, not the fat-cat corporate pals that he has like in the oil industry. There’s a lot more I could tell Bush, but there’s not enough pages in the paper for that. Since Bush is in his second term he can’t run for re-election so he should quit worrying about what his corporate donors want to ✆ “First I would ask President Bush why he ignores the pleas of the majority of U.S. citizens to control our southern border against illegal immigration. Second, I would ask him why he caters to President Fox of Mexico regarding U.S. policy on immigration, specifically using our country as a safety valve for Mexico’s exploding population.” ✆ “If I ever got that close I’d probably be nauseated. Anyway, since out corporate emperor lacks either a heart or a mind, it would be pointless to say anything. A sycophantic, ‘yes, sir,’ is all he’s programmed to understand.” ✆ “Oil in the Middle East drives President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Back in the 1920s President Bush’s great grandfather George Herbert Walker, was doing oil deals with the Arab states in the Middle East. His daughter married Prescott Bush, father of G. H. W. Bush and grandfather to our current president. Oil deals in the Middle East with the Arab states are part of the Walker and Bush legacy. Cheney also comes from an oil background, but to the point: With 15 minute with President Bush, I would sum it up with one sentence, ‘Look back to America, and our needs Mr. President, the American people and our needs have been forsaken.’” ✆ “If I had 15 minutes with President Bush I would want to say: Thank you very much for all that you’ve done for the country, and despite all of the criticism I do believe that you have the best interests of the country at heart. I would recommend that you stay firm in Iraq even though it looks like it’s having a lot of problems, but I think in the long-run it may work out. Number two, on Social Security I would recommend that you go toward making sure that the system is solvent and if you want to try the experimental accounts, do that on a very limited basis and see what the problems and what the strengths are. Again, thanks very much.”
