Calling President Bush
A 16-year-old from Iceland apparently got his hands on the private number of President Bush.
He called the number but wasn’t able to get to the president. He was able to get all the way to the president’s secretary. He pretended to be the president of Iceland and asked for a private meeting with President Bush.
He received a special visit from authorities. He is claiming he was told he would never be able to come to the U.S. if he didn’t tell how he got the phone number. He is refusing to tell how he got it. Here is the link: Link
If you got the president’s phone number, would you call it?

Give it out to guys at bars if they ask for my number-
Nothing, I will not be cruel
um, probably not. He’s a fairly busy person and I don’t really have much to say to him.
Everyone is going to say prank call.
I would ask him if he’s sad that he can never be old school hip hop.
Yeah, duh!
Only if I had something to say worth being grilled by the Secret Service.
No…. Not because I think he’s terrible…. actually I think he’s been a pretty good President… I have total respect for him…. I just wouldn’t because that’s rude to call on someone you don’t know and expect them to converse with you.
Nah, No need to call him.. He ain’t worth of my time..
Probably. Or sell it.
Only if I was desperate to have the Secret Service show up at my door.
No, I don’t want to get a bad record by the Secret Service.
OH NO! The poor kid won’t be able to come to the US! What a punishment!
No way. I’d probably want to, but I’d chicken out at the last minute.
RYC: A lot of the action took place outside the barn, but the actual Nativity scene with Mary, Joseph, the baby and all the shepherds and everything was inside a barn that was pretty warm. Plus she was wrapped up so much I wasn’t sure she was really in there, and I guess she was lying on a heating pad so they made sure she was plenty warm.
Yes and I would say, “Why don’t you put on your gear and face the war?”
RYC: It does hold up the game but its only once a year and all the bears go to charity. So, its worth it.
911 works good enough for me. I don’t foresee ever needing the Prez’s private number. Besides I hate talking on the phone.
While I think it would be cool to call th president (I wonder what his voice mail message sounds like), I would not want to deal with the Secret Service.
Lol, no, I’d sell it.
Dude that take guts. But I wonder where the teen found the number.
Probably not.
Yes.
The thought wouldn’t even cross my mind.
I dont use the phone if I can help it.
I will not even dream on prank call anyone
haha that’d be kinda cool… yea i got the prez on speed dial…
No, I only call folks who I think I can have an intelligent conversation with.
maybe
Eh I don’t know. It would be kind of fun and they couldn’t exactly prevent me from ever visiting the US since I am a Citizen and live here. I do think that havechanged had a good idea for women though.
I wouldn’t call it, but I would hold on to it in case of extreme emergency. All it would get you is a visit from the FBI/CIA and anyone else who felt they needed to knock on your door.
I probably wouldn’t call it. But I think good ol’ “G.W.” here would make a wonderful friend and advisor!
I’d probably prank call from a public phone. It’d be funny.
That kid is so 1337.
Of course not. Only an idiot with not self-control would do such a thing!
Sure I like Mr. president
And get busted for it?
no way. I would just happen to anonymously “pass the number along” to a number of Bush hate groups, lol.
I used to have the White House’s number.
Tom Brokaw gave it out on the Daily Show.
Heck yeah.
Aside from being hilarious, I think I would call him from someone else’s phone. LOL.
_>
nope, but I would probably post it somewhere publicly and then watch the confusion unfold as many others called him.
I’d like to give him a few choice words, but then I’d be in trouble.
Hell no!
no, because i’m pretty sure i’d get arrested if i did.
I wouldn’t be able to resist.
Hahaha I saw that story and laughed so hard.
It just proves kids are smarter than we’re giving them credit for. That’s funny that they were threatening him. Oooh big scary teenager, let’s run and hide!! LOL
Nah… I wouldn’t call it. I got nuthin’ to say that would be worth the breath used to say it to him.
Nah, (unless I was his daughter). He’s got plenty to do.
Well sure, you wouldn’t know for sure it was the Presidents number for sure til you called it. But I would tell how I got it if they asked.
Yes, and thank him for his service to our country.
sure
hahah I might write it on a bathroom wall..
id put him on speed dial and call and bitch everytime I didnt like something…..isnt it my right? I get stupid pain in the ass calls all day why shouldnt he?
You bet I would. I got a four letter aria for that one.
Chyeah! I would not be able to resist that kind of temptation!
….Dan, do you work for the government?
I like what Justeye said, “No, I only call folks who I think I can have an intelligent conversation with.”
I would have no desire to speak with Mr. President.
Hell no….he’d probably try to reverse the charges!
I had a hard enough time getting my passport! I wouldn’t risk having it revoked….
i would think about it, but probably wouldn’t
No…i will give it to people that hate him.
I’d crank call it.
Then give it to my friends and have them crank call it.
Then give it to phone-sex lines.
Hell yes. It may be sophomoric of me, but I’m not above poking fun at the willfully retarded.
No. I am too chicken to do anything like that.
No, I have more important things to do, e.g. reading a phonebook or staring at the ceiling or about everything else.
That is hilarious to me.
And I think I would sell the number on Ebay.
You realize when you put up questions like this, it encourages stupid people to try to make jokes, right?
I’d post it on ma blog mannnn
i can’t believe they’re threatening to not let him into the US. i’d laugh in their face if i was him and then tell them i’d rather visit France anyway. or England. or Italy. hahaha. what a ridiculous punishment.
i’d call out of curiosity and give the number to my friends if they wanted. i’d probably hang up and say wrong number though.
I’d call him up and let him know how much of a jackass he is.
Yeah, I’d call him and tell him to ignore all of the stupid Liberals who called him to tell him he sucks so much.
Note: I’m not a republican so don’t come to me bashing them because if I don’t agree with you, I still won’t care.
I have a number I’m “not suppose to have”,lol. A news report let it out a few years ago. I have called the place 2 times. 1 time was to see if they were real. The second time was to get into an argument,lol, with the person on the other end of the phone about terrorists ( this was before 9/11, but after the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995). I told the guy it would happen again. The state of the world is such, that history repeats itself. I haven’t called there again, because I feared my call might be traced,lol
That’s hilarious. No, I wouldn’t call it. I don’t call people. I’d probably write it in random places though.
He prolly got it from that lesbo show.
I would auction it off on Ebay.
Maybe, or even send a polite text message, I’m sure he’s way too busy to talk anyway.
Not worth the time to dial the number. I can’t stand to hear him talk on tv, let alone try to have a conversation with him. Which I feel would be like talking to a very slow three year old.
That poor secretary. Oh the abuse she would endure if I had his number :X
Yeah, that’d be cool. I think he’d be interesting to talk to. I, unlike most people, actually don’t dislike him. They don’t give him enough credit.
No. But I would call Cheney. At least he’s somewhat articulate.
Heck yes! Though I’d get stopped really soon… I don’t think I’d lie to get to him, see. And I definitely wouldn’t know what to say.
heck yeah. i’d give it out as my number, too, im bars
Hell yeah! I’d even right it on the walls of Girls and boys bathrooms. I just wouldnt post it on the internet because then the whole world would know and the president would have a new phone number in 10 minutes and all the fun would be gone. On the walls I would write, “looking for a good time? Call 858-352-7763. (S)He’s better than you can even IMAGINE!” hahaha so funny!
Haha … I wish that could happen to me… bush really sucks, but it would be kinda interesting to get to talk to such famous person… somehow
probably not, but I definitely give the kid props. that’s hilarious!
I would call him. Only to tell him that somehow is phone number is getting around and that he might want to see to that.
this is awesome… and the way his mother handled it, and to no surprise bush is not a well liked in Iceland.. my hats off to the young man!
i would totally call it
