If the phone rang at home or at work
And the voice on the other end said "This is the White House, please hold for the President"

What would you do? Hang up immediately? Stay on the phone to talk to him? Think up an obscenity laced tirade to unleash on him?

1. Wait until he picks up and give the receiver an airhorn blast.

2. I think I'd be very interested in knowing why the president was calling me.
Upon getting that info, I'd decide what I would do/say.

I mean, they give out $300 million contracts to idiots every day for all kinds of dumb crap. I'd love to be one of those idiots.

3. I would say, "So? Who cares what YOU think?" and just CRASH the phone down on him
Then retire to wait for the FBI to pick me up and haul me away.

4. It would depend on whether this happened now or after Jan 20, 2009.
'Cause I'd wait to talk to Obama.

5. I would wait, then I would ask him....
...a few questions. Since I am at work, I cannot express adequately the language I would use. ;-)

6. I'd say, "Forget it, my time is just as important as his"
"He can hold for ME."

Then I'd put it on hold. :P

7. I'd wait until the shithead came on the line, then Rick Roll him.
Another poster up thread seems to think that it makes a difference who the current President is. The only difference it makes is whether I use 'shithead' to describe who I'm waiting for.

14. I would want to ask him....
how does it feel to be a chickenhawk surrounded by chickenhawks? How does it feel to know that after you cut through all the BS and PR, you simply lied to get tens of thousands of people killed?

I think we all deserve an answer to that one!

16. He would probably keep calling until I took the call.
I'd listen to what he had to say. I am not a rude person. Even though he's a douche bag, he's still the President.
