What would you ask Bush?

jaygroup1.jpgPresident Bush’s appearance in Lancaster on Wednesday will be at the the Jay Group’s new $26 million headquarters at Corporate Boulevard and Indian Springs Drive in West Hempfield Township. That’s in the Stony Battery Corporate Center.

More interestingly, it is going to be “town hall”-style, and if it’s like the one he held in July in Nashville, Tenn., that means some of the 400 folks in the audience might get to ask him a question.

So what’s on your mind? What would you ask him?

In Nashville, he got some tough questions, according to The Tennessean.

Republican activist Scottie Hughes said she, like many conservatives, doesn’t like the president’s guest-worker program for immigrants but views his visit as his way to reconnect with citizens and, more subtly, drum up Republican enthusiasm for next year’s elections.

“We feel disenfranchised with elected officials who have stopped being Republican,” said Hughes, who was among the roughly 350 people who attended Thursday’s address. “They’ve lost core conservative values, and there is no motivation to go to the polls. He knows he needs to regain the public’s trust.”

And there was this, according to The Associated Press:

When Bush was asked about whether he would consider pardoning the two border patrol agents, he seemed briefly taken aback.

“I’m not going to make that kind of promise in a forum like this, obviously,” he said. “I’m interested in facts. I know the prosecutor very well, Johnny Sutton. He’s a dear friend of mine from Texas. He’s a fair guy. He is an evenhanded guy and I can’t imagine, well, you know. …”

To the woman, Bush said, “You’ve got a nice smile but you can’t entice me (into) making a public statement” on the controversy.

 

Here’s some footage …

Are we going to war with Iran before you leave office? Does Congress have to authorize the stike, or has it been pre-approved?

What one item he accomplished during his time, that will have the greatest effect on all of us; other then the war.

What is the most important issue that we, as a nation, will be facing in the next two years?

I am not sure about the first one. But, if I searched long enough, I know that I could show you where you are wrong on the other three.......

I would ask Bush why he chose a company that has laid off workers, pays under the poverty level, yet is building a multi-million dollar facility?

If they allowed a second question you could than ask him if it is true that his White House Aid informed him that America was under attack, but the Aid told him to keep on reading because He wanted to know what happened to the goat.

Then I'd have to ask why he didn't shove the book at the aid and tell him to read it.

Why didn't you pursue the democrats' agenda in order to not be accused of dividing the country?

If he would have done that perhaps 911 could have been avoided to mitagated but then he wouldn't have been able to gin up an attack on a country that had nothing to do with it instead of invading Saudi Arabia where the hijackers came from.

You realize of course that you would be wrestled to the ground and hauled off to Git-mo for even thinking of asking such a question.
