Word on the street - Aug. 6, 2009

If you could have a beer with the President, what would you ask him?

“I’d probably want to discuss veteran’s issues with him.”

What do you want to change?

“Better care for wounded veterans and more follow-up for them.”

“Probably about health care, more than anything else.”

What would you like to change?

“Let people who don’t have health insurance get coverage with health insurance.”

Do you have some?

“No.”

“I would ask him why he’s so intent on keeping guns from citizens that have the right to protect themselves.”

Sooo…do you own a gun?

“Yeah, I own a gun and I work for the sheriff’s office.”

“I would never have a beer with the president.”

Why not?

“Because I feel he’s not doing anything besides recognizing that he’s the first black president. I don’t think he’s doing anything for our country.”
