Would you take a bullet for the president?

[caivoma]

Only my family or someone i love.

 

[manowar821]

Awwwww, I wouldn't want to keep him from getting shot, that's just plain rude.

 

[wnangle]

You should have created a pole, ooops, I mean poll.

 

[jdoggg12]

Uhh, no. The president is not a deity, or in any way better than a normal person. Most government officials could give a sh*t about the people anymore, so why would anyone want to give their lives for a person who could care less if that person made that sacrifice.

 

[miketheidiot]

lol. no.

 

[nakedfrog]

Kyle took a bullet for me, now I got to rock for three
KG and me, don?t forget about Tenacious D

 

[Q]

If I knew I wasn't going to die, yes I would.

 

[SoulAssassin]

I would duck if I was being shot at and he just happened to be standing behind me.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Did I vote for the guy? That answers the question posed by the OP.

 

[foghorn67]

Yes. It's the office of the presidency. Not the person.

 

[DefDC]

Jeeze... As much as I dislike this current president, I think I still might. I believe in karma, and I guess I'd hope he, and his administration, might see the error of their ways, no matter how unlikely that would be...

But for THIS president? Ugh... I dunno... It'd be hard to leave my wife and newborn for the Decider...

If it was job, I'd do it, no question.

 

[Dirigible]

Heck no.

President as a person: I'm cynical enough to think that anyone who could become president isn't worth taking a bullet for. All them politicians are punks.

President as an Office: There's a clearly designated person who'll take over if the prez is offed, so the office won't go unfilled.

I'd like to think I've the courage to take a bullet for a loved one or truly deserving person. I hope I'm never in a position to find out.

Pretty much the same, but I don't know. If Cheney was being hunted down, I don't know if I would go out of my way to save the guy.

[Journer]

[spaceman]

without question, provided it was still safely in its cartridge.

If I was with SS and it was my job, without a doubt. As an ordinary citizen, I wouldn't. I don't think the president is any harder to replace than I am.

I would risk taking a bullet to save just about anyone. That's assuming I have a fighting chance to save the person and escape myself too.

 

[Whisper]

It'd very much depend on the person and the situation in question. For most presidents, however, probably not.

lol QFT.

It's been a long time since the US has had a president worth taking a bullet for, and our choices for the future don't look much better. I'm going to say No on this one.

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.

Concurage.

 

[Vonkhan]

No, I'd whip out my camera phone and ??? PROFIT!

 

[Capt Caveman]

Not for our current one.
