"Who cares what you think?" Yes the famous words of our great and good (not!) misLeader. These words were directed at Bill Hangley Jr. at a picnic on July 4, 2001.... Read about the
incident here
Bill had the guts to say to the Prez's face:
"Mr. President, I'm very disappointed in your work so far. I hope you only serve four years."
Whew! What guts/balls/cahones!
Would Kossacks have the guts to say such a thing to the man's face?
Mr. Hangley describes his incident further:
But it was an unexpected return, to say the least, and as soon as our handshake was done, I stepped away and pulled out my notebook to write it down. This he noticed, and I heard him call out, "Who are you with?" I turned to see him 10 or 12 feet farther down the handshake line, craning his neck above the crowd -- he's shorter than I had expected -- and looking right at me, asking again, "Who are you with?"
Maybe he thought I was a renegade journalist; the press corps was expressly forbidden to interview people or mingle with the crowd. Or maybe he just wanted to know who was responsible for me, since nobody could get into the picnic unless they were with one of the organizing groups. But I wasn't trying to speak for anybody, and I certainly wasn't trying to goad a story out of him, so I stammered that I wasn't "with" anybody. As people started to notice, he grinned again and drawled, "Make sure you get it right."
