How do you cope with being President?

[Oakey]

This question has been on my mind a lot lately but it must be hard for someone like Barack Obama.

I mean, think about it, your first day sworn in as President, what do you do? so many choices...

Do you...

Immediately go and visit Area 51?

Demand to know who killed JFK?

Insist on guided tours of places like Raven Rock, Mount Weather, etc?

Scare the crap out of your advisors by putting on your best poker face and ordering Russia to be nuked?

I don't know how these people even find time to be President and all the political crap that goes with it. I'd be far too busy wanting to know all the top secret stuff.

Ive also often wondered this. Is there a special advisor employed to get the new recruit up to speed?

"Ok Mr President, here we go: Elvis is alive, Iraq is all about the oil, Area 51 contains......"

and so on

....Hookers.....drugs.....Steak dinner....Hookers

I think I can kill the 1st day with those items.

I guess the president, like any other decision making device, is only as good as the information fed into it (or him). The people around him can get any decision they want by editing the information they provide, which means it's a bit daft to blame Bush for all the evils of the world

[Adenauer]

I'd imagine one of his priorities will be to get the doodled crayon drawings off the desk with a scouring pad

"So, it WAS aliens then" as they slowly peel their outer skin off and prove that that are a reptilian race.

Anyone seen the film with Nick Cage where he kidnaps the President and asks about state secrets, can't remember the name. Treasure Hunt?

3 month long national holiday, except for the construction industry, who'd be building atleast 200 new race circuits.

Then to get the full potential from all these new tracks, there'd be another 3 month holiday. For everyone except the automotive industry.

This would continue indefinetly, until oil supplies started getting low, when I'd invade anywhere that has some.

Thats why I had Hookers on the list. Why do it yourself when you can get a scantily clad lass to do it....

I think you've taken this thread a bit serious mate

I did give this a little thought while being subjected to the umpteenth news bulletin in traffic this morning.

There was I fretting about my Friday deadlines and whether I'll be successful in securing funding for peoples projects...

And on the other Mr Obama has to wake up knowing he is in charge (in the media's eyes anyhow) of the US and A.

On the case of what would I do:

Call a press release with the statement saying all african-americans have to leave the country by the end of the week.

Then whip off the spitting image mask to reveal an old white gentleman...

And shout 'Ahhhhhhh gotcha'

(with Noel Edmonds by my side).

That be the one! Just makes me laugh thinking about Obama going into a secret cave and having tea with Elvis and JFK talking about how they stopped the alien invasion in '93

[sleep envy]

start a war

[ytrebil]

Get a blowy off Ms Lewinski!

[rude-boy]

Drop my first and last names, change my first name to Saddam and ask anyone of Kurdish decent to report to Salt Lake City.

Remove the speed limit from the motorway from 9PM-4AM

Give us a chance eh?
