Why I call the White House comment line
Edited on Sat Oct-20-07 01:42 PM by tbyg52
Of COURSE it's not because I think the comments are getting to King George, or that he would care if they did.

It's to convey a message to the people who actually answer the phones.

I called for that reason even when I thought they were staffers, but I just found out they are VOLUNTEERS! (If I appear stupid for just finding that out, oh well....)

These are people living in the DC area who care enough to volunteer their time. I bet they even think about what they hear. So tell them! Maybe they'll tell all their friends! It's worth a couple of minutes.

3. My brother calls all the time.
He says that one of the answerers is a real piece of work. She will bitch at him if he says anything negative about bush. Wants to know why he thinks he is not a good president. Guess that's why she volunteers she loves to kiss asscrack.

4. Wow.
I've never had any of them argue with me. Just listen to my comments and say "thank you." I hope I get that one some day - should be interesting.
