If President Barrack Obama knocked on your door ...

We've only been contacted by three-letter organizations twice this year about posts and about four lawyers in reference to pending or on-going law suites, so this one may be okay.

Respectfully staying out of the discussion to not cause INGO any more problems.

Homey is the Commander in Chief. I would refuse no Commanding Officer entry to my abode, no matter how much I disagree with his politics. The only difference is, this Commander is supposed to work FOR me. Therefore, he would get an earful of distasteful rhetoric, all in the comfort of my foyer.

 

[halfmileharry]

I don't like his sitting as POTUS but as President of the United States He would be welcomed in and MAYBE just MAYBE he'd listen to concerns I have about the direction the country is taking. More than likely he'd show no respect for me or my concerns but as the President I would at least like to know why he showed up at my door. AND...He'd better have a danmed good reason

 

[edporch]

I voted that "I'd ask him to stay out" as the closest.

ACTUALLY if he knocked on my door,
I'd offer that he drive over to my house ALONE,
and knock on my door like a man.

Then I'd offer to let him in and we'd speak AS EQUALS, just him and me.

But of course he, like most Presidents and other powerful people are usually afraid to do this, as they make their decisions with the understanding that an army of people will guard them for the rest of their lives.

So they NEVER will have to walk down the street as "their own man" and face the world like the rest of us, answerable to those around them.

WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION:
How much different would our elected leaders govern this country if they had to?

I really hope he gets over his fear of walking down the street as his "own man" as he won't have lifetime protection. George W. Bush was the first that got 10 years post presidency protection.

Public Law 103-329, I was going to post a nice link for you to read but the website is undergoing maintenance right now.

 

[rugertoter]

I voted to ask him to come in...then I would proceed to show him my firearms and then maybe the clown might not think we are all as scary as he thinks we are. On second though, I'm would probably just be wasting my time on that one.

Every former President Including Bill Clinton have LIFETIME protection.

The only 10 years started with Bush #2.

But I doubt after the 10 years is up, that he or any other former President is just going to "be his own man" and be the guy next door.

I'd do my best Eastwood impression and say, " Get off my lawn".

Yes. That is why I stated that G.W.B. was the first to be limited to 10 years. Basing things off the majority of people I've met, I wouldn't want to be the guy next door so I wouldn't blame a former president if they didn't want to be.

BRB while I go bash my head in with a hammer.

Yes, you did say that Bush got 10 years.
I just clarified it to include that everybody before him gets lifetime.

Actually, though I think Bush was wrong about a lot of things, he always came across to me as a good guy and I'd have no problem having him as a neighbor.
He'd just have to instruct his people not to hassle me or my friends.

You never invite the vampire into your home....then you are powerless.

That's lost boys page 1 stuff.

 

[GlockRock]

I voted to invite him in. I was raised to be polite and respectful. Maybe he would sit down and talk about some things we dont agree on.

 

[bds792]

Well, unfortunately he's technically my boss, so I'd have to show him all the respect due the office. Then I'd vomit after he left.

Oh, it's not INGO's problem.

No traitors allowed in my house. He allowed an ambassador to die.

My GF knows how I feel about cowards and that I don't even want her nephew in my house. Why would BHO be any different?

And how many American soldiers died because of Bush's trumped-up wars?

 

[Mosinguy]

I'll offer up $100 and government gas mileage for all his haters to go to Obama and say to his face what they've said here.

Get me a car and consider it done.

 

[actaeon277]

So if you don't sit down and talk/listen, are you a better person than the person on the opposing side thatwon't talk/listen?
Sorry, kinda thought that was America. Disagree, move on.

 

[Mark 1911]

I am not a fan of Obama, but I would not turn him away, I would let him in. I would like to have my chance to discuss the issues with him. Now, if he wanted to spend the night, that would cost him.

 

[IndyDave1776]

How is this relevant? Bush is now nothing but a rancher in Texas and has nothing to do with the safety of Americans who could have been helped under most any leader other than the Apologist in Chief. Are you going to hold Obama responsible for his own decisions any time before January of 2017?

 

[Bapak2ja]

I would not open the door. I have nothing to say to him.
