We might have to reconsider asking that question over the next 3.5 years.

(3,267 posts)Tumbled down the hill, landed on the sidewalk. I vaguely remember making my way back to the house, the dog following me. Sat down on the couch and woke up two days later. Must not have been totally passed out, as the critters food and water bowls were full.
Nothing hurt, but I went to the doctor just to be sure. After inspecting the old noggin, he asked me questions to see if the mental functions had been impaired.
Who is the president?
Al Gore.
No, who is the president?
Al Gore.
OK, who was president before that?
Being a history major, I could reel them off. I think he stopped me when I got to FDR. I was thankful, because Im a little fuzzy between TR and Reconstruction.
Well, thats good, but whos president now?
Josiah Bartlet.
He laughed, and said youre all right. Just call if you have any problems.
If I were asked the question now, Id probably answer Fatass.

I was there for it. The first few questions went smoothly but then she was asked who the president was. Now, mom could never say Bush's name without preceding it with the words "that ass" but she wasn't going to be so unladylike in front of the social worker.
So there was a pause. I could hear her wheels turning & I could see some concern on the social worker's face. Finally Mom said, "Gore was elected but Bush is living in the White House."
To which the social worker said "Your surgeon didn't think you needed this exam and I can see she was right" And the SW left.

I think it was MLKs niece or great niece or maybe granddaughter, anyway, that Saud not to say his name. Deny him his name. He will disappear in your life if he has no name. Or something like that.

(2,070 posts)The ambulance worker asked who the president was. I said it depended who you asked, some would say it was trump, but I knew it was Biden.

(4,739 posts)I was at her hospital bedside days later when a nurse began her shift and went through the gauntlet of questions to check my mother's cognition. The inevitable question came up: "who's the president?"
Through whatever impairment, my mother responded, true to herself "donald Fucking trump."
The nurse doubled over in laughter and looked at me to ask "did she just say what I thought she said?"
I just shrugged with a smile.
