 If you had 5 minutes to tell the President anything you wanted, what would you say?  To avoid any CoC violations, suffice it to say, I would tell him the next time he takes the family on vacation, he should just stay on it.

I would be tempted to borrow from Daniel's pronouncement over the meaning of the handwriting on the wall, mene mene tekel parsin, to Belshazzar, King of Babylon :

mene: God has numbered the days of your presidency and will bring it to an end in November.

tekel: You will be weighed on the scales and found wanting

parsin: Your kingdom is divided and given over to the republicans and the tea party.

But I'd probably skip that and just ask the obvious and more serious question: What does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?

Tell me which of GWBush's policies that led to the mess you inherited did you oppose as Senator?

Tell me which policies, strategies, and tactics of your own led to bin Laden's demise?

Tell me how much each occupation in America should earn before it has earned enough, and tell me how you arrived at each number?

Tell me how adding 50 million people to America's insurance rolls overnight, without adding a single doctor, nurse, hospital, pharmaceutical company, or research lab, will improve health care in America?

No...wait...those are the questions I'm waiting for a spineless journalist (but I repeat myself) - ANY spineless journalist - to ask him.

I think I would ask about the HHS mandate.  I would ask him how it can not bother him that his administration is requiring people to violate their conscience.  That's the area where his philosophy becomes most contradictory, when "tolerance" applies only to certain groups.  Likely enough he cares more about the liberal agenda than freedom, and the talk of tolerance and rights are simply cover.  But possibly, he's simply avoided staring the contradiction in the face, and there's a remote chance of planting a slight seed of doubt.

I'd tell him I pray for him.  I have to admit I'm more faithful in praying for him to lose, but I probably wouldn't tell him that.

I would simply ask him to define what a 'fair share' is.

I would tell him that it's likely that he'll get a pardon, but somewhat less likely that Eric Holder will get to stay out of jail.

I would pay my respects and thank him sincerely for his service to the country, then ask him  about his views on the immortal question -- Kant vs. Descartes.  I figure the President would be much more amenable to a leisurely academic discussion than a policy discussion which might get more heated.

I mean, it's not like you can tell this guy anything.  I'm sure he thinks he knows everything already.

Mr. President, it’s an incredible honour for me to meet the President of United States and the Leader of Free World.  What a shame that you are working so hard to create a divergence between those two titles.  Why do you have such a fundamental resentment towards a country and a system that was willing to elevate you top elective position it possesses?

If given the chance, I'd ask the Big Zero whether he knows any American conservatives, read any of their works, have any conservatives working for him.  When he says NO to one or all of these questions, I'd ask him why not, given that his policies are neither working nor are they approved of?

You're shackling our posterity to onerous debt slavery. Don't think that because you're an all-rightnik now it will carry through the generations to your descendents.

It's ironic, isn't it...the liberal media treat him like he's some breakable china doll, and don't ask him anything that might cause him to back into a corner and get a little uncomfortable.  And all the while he is waving the banner in protest over the atrocities of capitalism to the media and everyone who listens to them...who does he think owns the media?  The homeless?  That the media allows him to get away with it...assanine.

You'd better have a pitcher of whatever you're drinking...

I would just look at him in disgust, then turn around and walk away.

I can't get the quote function to work on my iPhone, but it would be hard to top Eric Voegelin's submittal. I don't think I could manage anything that wouldn't violate the CofC. Maybe this "Hey! Chicago! I got yer Saul Alinsky right HERE!"

Or maybe, "Bill Ayers asked me to swing by, Could you please autograph his Choom Gang limited edition reissue bong?"
