Would you take a bullet for the president?

[jtvang125]

Forget who is in the office right now, just view it as "The President of the US". Do you think you can be a Secret Service agent and if ever needed, take a bullet(s) for him?

 

[imported_LoKe]

I'd take a bullet for anyone. At least, I'd like to think I would.

 

[Reckoner]

Nope

 

[Looney]

Depends on who the person is. This President? Hell no.

 

[Drakkon]

depends who is next in line

 

[So]

Probably not, but I'd have a problem taking a bullet for a stranger too. I guess I'm just selfish. The only people I could see taking a bullet for are my immediate family.

 

[vi edit]

All signs point to "no".

 

[Phokus]

Hell no, i would never take a bullet for a corrupt plutocrat, especially if they're anywhere near as corrupt as Bush.

i have to go with this too.

 

[lyssword]

Only if I have a very nice armor For Bush, f**k no. Actually maybe I would. With the first condition.

 

[49erinnc]

No. Immediate family, a close friend or two and my SO.

 

[daveshel]

No way.

same here.

would i risk my life to save someone? sure (at least i think i would). But i would also cut my lose's if it was a sucide to continue.

 

[imported_Imp]

I can only think of 5 non-family people I'd take a bullet for. President/Prime Minister isn't one of them.

 

[glenn beck]

as long as he would take a bullet for me first

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Depends. If I'm on the secret service, wearing body armor, collecting a fairly decent paycheck to do just that? Yeah, I'd feel compelled to. As an average citizen? Probably not.

 

[sdifox]

I may value other people's lives, but not that much...

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Could I have when in the Navy and it was part of my job & life, then yes, most certainly. Or if I was secret service, of course I would. Now, no. Now part of my duties any longer.

At least Clinton got laid. I'd take a bullet for that mentality. Bush has trouble enough phrasing a coherent sentence, I think how the director of Transformers decided to depict him is probably more accurate than anyone realizes. Get that man some ding dongs, stat.

The SS does not protect the man, they protect the office.
It is like "salute the rank not the man"

 

[dabuddha]

I LMAO when this came up in Rush Hour 2. Chris Tucker was excited about being a "secret service agent" and Jackie goes you'll never take a bullet for the president. Chris goes yeah but they'll never know that

Sums it up for me. If its my job, I hope I would. Otherwise I'm ducking.

 

[amish]

sure, i'd take one for the pope too.
