That would be such an awesome opportunity!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034445 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:37:15 +0000 LomaLinda 1034445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go no matter who was president! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034385 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:20:24 +0000 runsyellowlites 1034385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: Hmmm I don't think I'd ever really want to meet a president but I'd be more automatic to decline one I didn't agree with to the extent I do currently. (Really I dislike all politicians regardless of "side") lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034372 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:16:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1034372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go! Meeting the president would be an honor. I met George Bush Sr once and it was so neat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034369 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:15:38 +0000 lamariniere 1034369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely go!</p> <p>I actually went to a White House gala when I was in college, but was not at all a fan of the party/president at the time. It was still a really amazing opportunity to see both the POTUS and Vice Pres, along with other party members in person at the same event. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034362 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:12:47 +0000 meganmp 1034362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Just out of curiosity, would you want to go if you agreed with the President? Or would you decline across the board? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034326 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:59:55 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1034326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd decline if I didn't like the sitting president's politics. I guess I just don't think it would be an honor to meet someone whose views are the complete opposite if my own and is taking the country down the wrong path in my opinion. Luckily for me, I will likely never be put in the position to ever decline a trip to the White House. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034310 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:55:26 +0000 MrsH 1034310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't decline if I disagreed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034267 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:35:05 +0000 meganmp 1034267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In order for me to decline, the President would have to be the equivalent... I don't know, Hitler or Idi Amin or something. If I just disagree with his/her tax policy? Heck yeah, I'll go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034233 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:13:50 +0000 Mrsbells 1034233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I would no decline an invitation to the whitehouse. I think thats an honor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034231 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:12:31 +0000 Grace 1034231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's interesting. Being Canadian, I'm indifferent to meeting the American president, but I don't think I'd turn down meeting our Prime Minister (who I don't like). It would be interesting to see if I could manage to ask "what the hell?" about some of the policies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034226 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:10:55 +0000 plantains 1034226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would go no matter what. I have met Bush #2 multiple times and even though I haaaate so many of his policies, those occasions were all fantastic experiences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034224 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:09:41 +0000 Boheme 1034224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go regardless of whether I agreed with the current President or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034223 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:09:41 +0000 Bookish 1034223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmandaB8: omg that's hysterical.</p> <p>I would go regardless of politics. It's an honor to meet the President, and there is no way I'd pass that up. I went to a graduation speech by Bush #2, and even though I don't agree with a lot of his politics, it was still really exciting to be in the same room and listen to him talk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034221 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:08:43 +0000 Meltini 1034221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go just so I could tell the president what I think of his politics/policies. He works for me and it is my job to tell him when I think he is doing a terrible job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034217 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:07:14 +0000 runsyellowlites 1034217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Same here... pretty sure I may already be on that list from a petition I signed. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034213 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:06:26 +0000 pui 1034213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I'd still go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034210 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:05:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 1034210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldnt' pass up the opprotunity, what other chance would you have to meet a president? Too good to pass up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034188 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:59:37 +0000 looch 1034188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go, regardless of how I felt about the POTUS. To me, it is more of an institution than just a person.</p> <p>eta: I would actually accept an invitation from any head of state. I think they're fascinating people, wanting to take the stewardship of a nation.</p> <p>I also think it's one of those things that you have to have a respect for, if you are citizen. You don't have to agree, but you should respect. It's like the military, I might not agree with having forces in a particular place, but you better believe I support our military forces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034182 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:58:44 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1034182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would decline. I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to bite my tongue and I would end up saying something that would get me on some sort of president hating watch list and I'd end up getting strip searched any time I was in an airport, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034179 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:58:10 +0000 autumnlove 1034179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034171 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:54:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 1034171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would decline. I have no desire to meet the president or see the over the top "house" that my tax dollars pay for. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034158 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:50:21 +0000 AmandaB8 1034158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: She tried to go to Lady Bird's bridal shower!! (they were friends at the time). They were all pretty high society, and gram was never allowed at the same social events as Lyndon. </p> <p>She pushed him into a lake when he was 9 and couldn't swim - Gram's favorite saying is always, "The worst thing my father ever did was save that SOB's life!!" XD She's a hoot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034089 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:35:30 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1034089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmandaB8: that is a riot! How did she know she was on the list? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034079 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:33:12 +0000 Caly 1034079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: Agreed. </p> <p>I'd go either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034077 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:33:07 +0000 AmandaB8 1034077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely go. </p> <p>My grandma used to be on the Secret Service's red list - she had previously dated LBJ, and let's just say it wasn't the best breakup. Thankfully that's the only president she's ever had problems with!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-decline-an-invite-to-the-white-house#post-1034075 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:32:29 +0000 shopaholic 1034075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!
