So, if you were President, exactly what would you do?

I would stop all wars and give everyone ice cream. Then I would encourage everyone to smoke pot and get laid. Then I will give everyone a job. That's what I'd do. Of course, if I took the time to think about it I might do other things too.

You can't edit your post.

I find this to be amazingly relevant to the topic.

I would run for re-election.

And then have kids, and get them elected too.

Along the way, spend $1 trillion to replace carbon fuels with (hot or cold) fusion.
Declare war on Illiteracy.
Change the electoral system so that only corporations can vote.
Ban all commercial advertising.
Split the U.S.A. into three separate countries: East Coast, West Coast, and Bible Belt.
Trade Southern California for Ethiopia.
Help the poorest 20% on Earth develop viable, self-owned, productive businesses.
Privatize NASA and build several Space Elevators in the next decade, each one independently owned and operated.
Overhaul copyright and patent laws, to expire at an exponential rate, in proportion to the acceleration of technology and information.
Go to Disneyland.

Impeach the ENTIRE House and Senate.

Call for new elections and no incumbants would be allowed to run.

Give Cheney a bigger gun and a license to kill.

I agree, as long as his first victim is Bush.


(What kind of ice cream you got Nick? You might get my vote if you've got some Ben & Jerry Chunky Monkey.)

I would stop all middle aged white christian men from ever being president again.

Amazing how most of the suggestions have so far violated the constitution. (Except for the ice cream.)

Have the decency to blush when I've screwed up.

You mean, what would I do if I were George?

I'd quit.

I'd go to the Rose Garden and say:

"Lookit. I'm beat. I'm in way over my head. I don't like to work hard or work at all for that matter, so I've decided to quit. Dick has been pretty much running things so it really won't matter at that much if I go. See you around."

Of course, I would have liked to see him do that in August 2001.

Joe(He could still do now.)Nation

Oh! If I were George ... ? If I were President and also GW Bush ...

I would wish for a drink.
Not permitted one, I would look straight at the camera and put on as
serious and stern face as I could. This works the best.

Instill confidence in people, you know, be strong and firm and never sway from any
claim I make, no matter how ludicrous the facts are.

It takes practice to keep from swaying, but it's a very useful skill
when pulled over by the U.N.

I would make it clear that all problems were caused when I didn't get my way.
That if folks simply do as I say, things would get a whole lot better.

The basic notion of a commander is to give orders.
Command respect, command belief, and command compliance.

That's the whole thing. Say everything with such unvarying confidence that the whole system
of belief remains intact and impenetrable by anything contrary from the outside.

If anyone complains, well, it's my job to lead them through, until they see the light.

I think the question is just what if you were the president.

If I were George I'd go hunting with Dick.

Then, like the Apollo moon missions, I'd declare an urgent program
to replace carbon fuels with (hot or cold) hydrogen fusion.

A trillion dollars in ten years, and so many problems would be solved!

If I were president I would eliminate the electoral college, put term limits on senate and house seats, legalize all drugs but make driving under the influence an offense requiring immediate execution by the police officer on site, death penalty for all crimes against children.

I would immediately deport all illegal immigrants, close our borders for 5 years, make english the national language and require all to speak it, including white people from Kentucky and Mississippi.

I would establish National health care for absolutely everyone, reform the income tax system and take away the churches tax exempt status. That alone would pay for the health care system.

I would give any woman the first abortion on the house, make them pay for the second and sterilize them after the third, except in the case of rape. I would also sterilize any man who was guilty of refusing to support his children.

I would allow all foreign countries to run themselves any way they saw fit whether I approved of it or found it morally repugnant or not, but if anyone f**ked with us I would bomb them into the stone age and then leave and tell anyone who didn't like it to kiss my ass. I would not waste the life of one single American in a ground war when the technology to level a country by pushing a button is so readily available and perfected by us. I most certainly wouldn't get involved in a police action or nation building of any kind.

I would develop a real live Homeland Security program and inspect every single thing that came into our ports and airports.

I would require a divorce between the entertainment and news departments of all media.

Those are some of the things I would do if I were president.

If I were gwb, I'd resign in shame or consider hanging myself in the Lincoln bedroom, also from shame.

I forgot to mention I'd make all the utility companies convert to wind and solar, and instead of passing the expense to the consumer,pay their execs less. I'd resist the urge to have all highly placed administrators in the insurance industry castrated in the public square.

Because I'm a reasonable Bear.

You are not a big fan of seperation of powers, are you?
