In my dreams I had won a chance to spend an entire day with President Obama and get his undivided attention to talk about America, politics, pending legislation, and his agenda.

In this dream he would take the meeting and my comments and concerns seriously.

If this became a reality and you got to spend the day with the President, what would you talk about and what one or two issues would you really stress with him?

Is there any hope for true representation in Washington? Or are we already a plutocracy? And I'd ask him why 2009 couldn't have been used a little more effectively.

Boy, you WERE dreaming, weren't you?

Obama is interested in nothing but his agenda. Whe a conservative shows up, Obama has no interest in "taking his comments and concerns seriously". His only interest is in getting the conservative out of his face so he can get back to making laws to spread the wealth around and buy votes.

Sorry, in your dream you met someone who is not Obama. You'll have to describe him a lot more fully, so we can figure out who he really is... or, at least, what his intentions and agendas are. Only then can we even BEGIN to guess what we might talk about.

If we have a President who will even meet with a conservative for a day, half our problems would be solved already. If he would take the conservative's comments and concerns seriously, 3/4 of our problems would be already solved, before the first word is spoken in the meeting.

With Obama, 0% of the problems are solved... and talking won't alter that number.

Obama would spend the day answering my first question and I would have no idea what he said.
I hope he would provide food and drink.

Seriously, what planet do you live on? Obama met with plenty of conservatives back in 2011, for example. That's how we wound up with that awesome, totally awesome thing called the Sequester.

Also...presidents have agendas? Wow. I never would have guessed.

Why discuss anything, he would just lie to my face the same as he does to yours.

Well he did say if he couldn't fix it he would be a one term president. He didn't fix it but he ran again. Obviously that was a lie too like so many others.

If Obama moves his lips he is lying.
