A Presidential Conversation

Over at Bloggernacle Times, John F. posted a small article about President Bush meeting with the First Presidency last month. President Bush spent 40 minutes speaking with President Hinckley & Co. in the Church Office Building. John F. wondered what they talked about, and a few people speculated about conversation topics in the comments thread. It's really more politics-related than law-related, but I thought it was so funny that I decided to reproduce the hypothetical conversations here. The first one is from John F.; the rest are from Jared* of LDS Science Review.

PoUS: “So, sorry about that whole forced migration thing and the Utah War.”

FP: “Yeah, ‘it was the largest forced migration in the history of America.’ That was sad but, in the end, we found a place safe for us — at least for a while.”

PoUS: “Well, it looks like you have a beautiful city here.”

FP: “Yeah . . . So, have you ever heard of the Book of Mormon?”

PoUS: “Sooo, I hear you guys don’t drink.”

FP: “Nope.”

PoUS: “Me neither. I gave it up a few years ago.”

FP: “Good for you.”

PoUS: “Any idea what you’re approval rating is?”

FP: “Well, we don’t want to be immodest…”

PoUS: “Do your people belly-ache as much as mine?”

FP: “Probably not as much. Gay marriage seems to get them going, though.”

PoUS: “Oh, I totally know what you mean.”

PoUS: “…I told them to stop being close minded–I am the president of all Americans. So I deleted Mormons from the “axis of evil” list.

FP: “We appreciate that.”
