Thread: The Conversation

I guess the definition of a conversation is a verbal exchange between two or more people.

So if you had President Obama in front of you for 1 hour what would your conversation be about and what would you say?

WARNING: Santa Claus is watching all of you here so keep it polite and civil and respectful.

This is a real good topic for a thread Mr Spendur!! I'll have to think on it.

In all seriousness: does it get difficult to sleep at night? All political crap aside, it's gotta be a stressful job. If you look at pictures of presidents before and after their presidency, they look drastically different. I've managed all sorts of things, but to more or less be seen as the manager of the country has got be a new level of stress and worry.

oops, hit the wrong button (was testing pic urls)

I'd see if I could get out of him how he personally likes being president. See how he's experiencing the whole thing. The things that bother/frustrate him and the things that make it all worthwile for him.

I wouldn't waste his time. He has much more important stuff to do than to entertain me and any foolish questions I may ask.

I'd ask him to mobilize US forces to capture Santa and occupy the North Pole for its oil

Is there beer?

If it was an off the record conversation I would ask:

Why we fell down on the job in Iran?
Why are we not meeting the challenge in Afghanistan/Pakistan?
Why is the government funding multi-million dollar loans to electric car companies that are targeting the wealthy instead of the middle class?
Why isn't the government capping executive pay for publicly traded companies at 75% of the highest paid non-executive? (A top manager makes 100k the executives are capped at 175k)
I know Chicago is your home town but aren't there better things to be spending your time and my money on than flying to meet with the Olympic Committee?
Why are schools and school funding cut when ever a gap needs to be made up? Why can't we find a way to fund a 12 month school year and get our youth back into the global fight to make this country better?
Why aren't you taxing the teeth out of the rich, those making over $500k, to pay for programs and other things that this country needs.

On the record:
Would you like a shave?
Do you Hookah?
Sox or Cubbies?

What's your actual birthplace?
