Should we swap Blair for Bush?

Question

In the UK, Blair is widely criticised. In the US, Bush doesn't seem too popular. How about we do a swap. The UK gets Bush for Prime Minister, America gets Blair for President, say for a year. Could be fun.

George the hippo has used than answer before, which is less than impressive.

Answer 1

In England, Blair is known as Bush's poodle, so I don't think I want a poodle for Prez. However, at least Blair is an articulate speaker. Toss in a few thousand hot English chicks with those awesome accents and you have a deal, LOL.

Answer 2

I am very much against Bush, and although i have only been in this world for 15 years and Blair has been the only prime minister i have really known, for all his downfalls he has been in office for three terms although he is stepping down late next year. I am not to sure how long Bush has been in office but i am sure while he has been in he has not been in as popular with his people as Blair has and also Bush has recently lost all power that he had in the American political system in the mid term elections, he now faces the next 2 - 3 years as a lame duck. Personally i believe that Bush would not suit British politics at all and also I do not believe his policies would sit well with the people.

So in conclusion i do not believe that Bush should ever be swapped for Blair, as for all his downfalls Blair is a very good politician and has been a very good prime minister for the UK. However i think Blair could be a great President for the U.S.A.but his policies for a "greener" future would not sit well with the people of the U.S

In the year 2004, The Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in
Canada, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and
over-populated and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark
and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans." He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have six months to build the Ark before I
will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights".
Six months later,
the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard .... but no ark.
"Noah", He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah. "But things have changed. I needed a
building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need
for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the
neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the
height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board
for a decision.
Then Transport Canada and the Departments of Highways and Hydro
demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power, trolley
and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move
to the sea. I argued that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear
nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees
in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists
that I needed the wood to save the owls.
But no go! When I started gathering the animals, I got sued by an animal
rights group.
They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will.
As well,
they argued the accommodation was too restrictive and it was cruel and
inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.
Then Environment Canada ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd
conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.
I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission
on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew. Also, the
trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only
Union workers with Ark building experience.
To make matters worse, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency seized
all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with
endangered species.
So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least ten years for me to
finish this Ark."
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow
stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked,
"You mean you're not going to destroy the world?".

"No", said the Lord. "The Government beat me to it.

I was one given some advice that you should always try and speak with the organ-grinder rather that the monkey.

The trouble is that neither of them look like the organ grinder. Blair is more of a poodle.

From the UK side, I would suggest we build a new Titanic and buy all of them a ticket before the polar ice caps melt from global warming.

Answer 5

I think we should swap Blair for David Palmer from the tv show 24.. pity he died though!

Answer 6

It wouldn't happen due to the exchange rate issues. Britain could sell Blair to the Americans and they would have to give us something TWICE as good as him. Such as a chocolate tea pot, or a solar powered torch.

Answer 7

Uhmm!! How about asking for polonium 210 from Russia instead, If its fun you are looking for?

There are enough deaths around here as it is, don't need no gun slinging cowboy to add more.

Answer 8

I say we swap Blair for a gooseberry bush. It would be more useful.

Answer 9

That would be a cruel thing to do to them and an unfair trade to boot! ANYTHING would be an improvement over Bush (unless, god forbid, Dick Cheney became president... or is he already?)

Answer 10

Yes, we would love to swap, when is this swap going to take place , let's do it tomorrow.
