The Phone Call

[tenring]

POTUS calling? Take the call from the office, not the man. Just like saluting an officer when in the military. If he didn't mention politics, neither would I, unless that was the primary object of the call in the first place.

I would take the call, smile and spit. Don't like his politics but that fight can happen somewhere else like the voting booth.

same here.

 

[jennybird]

I'd take it. Definitely. After all the crap we American's are going through, the LEAST he can do is kiss my hee-haw for a minute or two. Oh yeah. I'd answer alright.

If he doesn't mention politics, then you're taking the call from the man, not the office.

Not including return calls that I'm waiting for (and assuming my caller ID is on), there are eight people for whom I'll pick up the phone...everyone else can leave a message.
POTUS ain't on that list.

Same here!

 

[SavageEagle]

I'mma go out on a limb and say that's probably gonna happen anyway, eventually...

well, if so, at least I'll get a close up look at some really cool guns and ride in a nice SUV one last time. Plus no more taxes and 3 square meals a day!

J/K, that would SUCK!

 

[turnandshoot4]

I would say.

"Congrats on my no hitter? How could you tell? You're a democrat. According to you guys I never got the second out!"

 

[MontereyC6]

I'd take the call and let the POTUS know that when he pulled his out of his backside and does HIS job, I'll call to congratulate HIM.

 

[fg12351]

I would take the call, and after we were done talking right down the number and send it to Wank and O'Brien to call and do a senseless survey!

Seriously, I would take it even if I didn't agree with his/her policy (and I don't!), regardless it is the office of the president.

That's my point exactly. Reps added.

 

[Bill of Rights]

I think almost anyone is allowed to say "Congratulations on a job well done." Coming from Barry Hussein, I have to say that a sincere "Wow!" from a five year old would mean more. The five year old has accomplished potty training and learning the English language. He can't yet read a teleprompter, but he knows nothing of insincerity, which is more than I can say for Barry.

As for me, taking the call, yeah, I probably would, if I didn't have something better to do at the time.

There are few things that would not qualify.

Blessings,
Bill

Archive bump for the post-2009 noobs.

I'd definitely take the call .. whoever the Pres happened to be. Once in a lifetime ... Love him or hate himr .. it's the POTUS for crying out loud. To me that demands a certain level of respect.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Take the call, listen to him, say thanks, end call.

 

[Trigger Time]

Take the call so you don't get audited by the IRS

I've been preparing for my comeback to the baseball scene. I haven't pitched a game since I was 13, but I feel like I'm ready for the MLB. I'll let you know how I handle the call after I pitch a perfect game in my MLB debut.

 

[N8RV]

Being at the end of my career anyway -- and enjoying the perks of being an old geezer, like speaking my mind and not caring what others think -- I would refuse the call.

It's not about the office of POTUS anymore -- it's all about the man. Given that reality, I'm sure I have something more important to do.

"But sir, it's the President of the United States on the line!"

"Yes, so you said. Tell him, 'Thanks for the call,' for me, will you? I'm kinda busy right now. Goodbye."

 

[Hotdoger]

I would not take the call.
I could care less what he has to say to me and he sure could care less what I would have to say to him.

absolutely, no matter what your politics are..THE OFFICE OF THE POTUS is calling!

Absolutely. I don't care how much I despise the occupant of the WH, you are responding to THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT. It is about far more than just who was elected to the post. It is a symbol of our country that dates back to the Founding. I respect the Office even though I don't respect the current occupant.
