If you were elected President tomorrow, what would be the first thing you would do?
 
Arrest the principal leaders and policy makers of the former regime on charges of war crimes and turn them over to an International Criminal court for prosecuting as a way of saying to the rest of the world, "Were sorry!"


Bush would be behind bars before the sun set on
the day I took the Oath of Office.
 
You only mean regarding Iraq, I assume. I'd come up with demonstrably attainable goals, not this pie-in-the-sky nonsense Bush has, set timetables to attain them and then start moving troops out of Iraq. Iraq needs to stand on it's own two feet, they'll never do that if we're there holding their hands every step of the way.
 
Honestly, with what I know at present (nothing compared to what the president knows) I'd likely do both A and C.

I'm not huge on military, but I think these two things need to be done. The Iraq war isn't good, but we can still re-deploy to better fight the global war on terrorism.
 
I'd start two reality TV shows:
  1. Who wants to date a President?
  2. Neocon Survivor
The first one is self explanatory.

The second one is I take Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Fieth, Hannity, O' Reilly and a few more neo's, stick them in a typical neighborhood near Basra with 200 dinars and the robes on their back, and see if they survive the week.
 
I would send billo to Guantanamo to work as a guard for a few months


Then I would hold the first annual “Cheerleaders day” on the Whitehouse lawn. (must be between the ages of 18 and 20 to enter, no male cheerleaders allowed, no male audience members allowed except for the Secret Service and a few of MY friends. Wet shirt contest not mandatory but preferred, Thongs are very, very, very, very much preferred or going without any.... Extra credit given cheerleaders who wish to play "Doctor President". Did I mention I was the judge?)

Consider this your only warning!

If I'm not back in time for the party,
I'm starting a jihad against wet, young, blonde, firm, healthy.........whew....... where was I?

Oh yeah, ..........cheerleaders!

Man, I need a nap!

Whatcha got to say to that?
 
I would declare a state of emergency and Marshall Law during a U.N. conference using the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, then I would have the National Guard surround the U.N. building, and have all the worlds dictators escorted from said conference and executed by firing squad on the steps of the U.N. building, then have them decapitated and their heads sent back to their countries of origins as a warning, I would then resign as President and surrender myself to the courts.

***Yeah, and as a guard I would flush Billo's bible (Michael Moore's & Cindy Sheehans) guide on how to lose wars--down his toilet in front of him. I would also strip him of all of his symbolic anti war clothing by replacing them with a colorful orange jumpsuit...suitable for those serving time for sedition.

TOT has won, hands down, the Most Outragous President award!

He definately hit one out of the park this time...

You forgot changing the name to "BITMO!"

And will this be a "charged" or "un-charged" detention?
 
I'd gut the entire FDA organization from the ground up and replace then with people who actually know what they are doing. They I'd veto every single piece of legislation that contained pork and/or rider bills. I'd then tell the pharmaceuticals that they either start lowering drug prices with 1 week or I revoke their federal licenses to operate. My Attorney General would start a policy in which severe corporate violations would not face some stupid fine, but a revoking of their corporate charter. Microsoft would be a prime candidate, having been convicted of anti-trust activities, but not actually being seriously damaged by the suit. I'd also propose legislation that returns copyright to 20 years, instead of a forever.

Considering that this would get me impeached anyways, especially my second proposal, I might as go all out. I'd use the military to hold the FCC hostage until they added an exceptions in their guidelines that allowed the broadcasting of hot lesbians, regardless of how explicit the content is.
 
... :shock: Holy sh1t ToT :shock:

Hay it's alot easier than a hundred wars for regime change, if I could get rid of all the worlds dictators in one foul swoop with no casualties other than the dictators themselves you better believe I'd do it in a second, I'm surprised nobodies thought about it yet.
 
1 - Suspend Possie Comatus
2 - Declare a Limited Martial Law (all federal, state and local governments are still operating with the exceptions as listed below)
3 - Put Homeland Security & Border Patrols under Martial Law
4 - Under Martial Law round up all Illegals
4A - transport them to the border
4B - put them in chain gangs
4C - starting 1 mile in from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico begin digging a ditch 100ft wide by 100ft deep along the border
4D - transport all the dirt to New Orleans and other areas that could use it
4E - while digging the ditch 25ft in from the ditch erect a 15ft high chain link fence with 5 strands of razor wire at the top in both directions
4F - while C & E are being done, 25ft in from the fence erect a 25ft high 15ft thick concrete steel reinforced wall with guard towers every 500 ft equipped with sensors
4G - put signs on the fence facing south that would read "Proceed Beyond This Point You Will Be Shot" in all hispanic languages, Arabic and Farcie
4H - Man the towers only with guards who will shoot to kill
4I - when the ditch is completed blow out the ends letting the Atlantic Ocean flow in and Meet the water from the Gulf of Mexico - the weight of the water will prevent anyone from digging tunnels unless they want to go 1 mile deep, and even then it's iffy
4J - anyone who crosses the ditch and goes through the fence to be shot and left where they drop - one picture is worth 1000 words
5 - Have Maliki declare Martial Law in Iraq - and send an additional 100,000 troops over and initiate the plans I stated in my battleplan as mentioned in the thread I started concerning the ground war
6 - Ensure the Armed Forces have all the equipment and weapons systems needed
7 - Force Congress to pass legislation ensuring that the Veterans Administration is "Mandatory Funded" permanently so they can make sure all veterans receive the treatment they deserve, and get rid of all the bullshit redtape as well
8 - Bring all outsourced jobs back to the United States
9 - Bring all offshore accounts back to the United States
10 - Reinitalize our Steel and other manufacturing industries as well as drilling for oil, expanding our nuclear plants, and developing alternative fuel and energy sources so we can tell OPEC to shove it
11 - Withdraw from the UN, and give them one year to get the hell out of America
12 - Increase the endstrength of our Regular Armed Forces, Reserves and Guard, while reopening some of the military instillations that have been closed
13 - Increase the number of F/A-22 Raptors from 339 to 1000
14 - Have the DOD start work on a B-22 using 90% of the F/A-22's avionics and weapons systems to be operational by 2010 and have 200 built
15 - Allow the USAF to retire all Fighters and Bombers - leaving only the F/A-22 Raptor, the JF-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the B-22 - this will save trillions in manufacturing, spare parts, maintence training of personnel and actual maintenence hours required.
16 - Ensure the Army, Navy and Marines have the necessary equipment and weapons systems needed - while at the same time streamling these systems so that all services will act in concert dealing with future operations
17 - Hold the mass media accountable for fair & balanced reporting to include not just the negative but the positive aspects as well so the public will have more information from which to form their opinions
18 - Put Iran on absolute notice, not to cross the line.
19 - Stop sending trillions and trillions of USD overseas to other countries only to see it get into the hands of corrupt politicians - use that money to ensure every American citizen and Legal Alien have medical coverage that's affordable and proper
20 - Use some of the money mentioned above to ensure every American and Legal Alien has employment, and get the dead-heads off the welfare rolls
21 - Increase the NSA wiretaps
22 - Increase operations to seek out and eliminate any and all terrorist sleeper cells in the USA, and advise the American People everytime one is closed down
23 - Keep Gitmo open and employ strong interrogation techniques but stopping before actual "real torture" methods.
24 - Transport captured terrorist leaders to Gitmo
25 - Any prisoners at Gitmo who are no longer considered a threat, send them back to their home country to face the music there

There's more, however, that's a start.

And a nice Ziech Heil morning to you too!

After you built your iron curtain, you forgot about taking down that plaque at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty. And after militarizing the US, you forgot to tell us to kiss our a.s.s good-bye.

The only thing the world is asking us is to stop exporting our own brand of terrorism.

:monkey Typical appeasement minded, panty-waisted wimp reply I expected :2bigcry:

The plaque on the Statue of Liberty in no way voids the laws of the land - you do know we do have laws don't you :doh

You want to come her - all I ask is you do it legally - now what's wrong with that :roll:

And you say we are exporting terrorism I would conclude that you are either naive or just plain stupid :2razz:

You don't think being in a hospital when we hit it with a 500 pounder is terrifying?

You don't think torturing a 15 year old in front of his father is terror?

You don't think being responsible for a half million deaths is terrorism?
