"The next time you invite President Bush, please have it in a place where … all the people that hold tickets can get in. It was very disappointing today for those who ended up on the outside."
"Would someone please submit all the … politicians' home phone numbers so that we can all return phone calls to 'em and tell them that we're about tired of bein' called at all times day and night."
"Concerning GSU's football coach's post-game comments, when the guys are not doubting and are not focused, don't realize the importance of the game and get stupid penalties, it means the coach failed to get his team ready. The buck stops right there."
"It's a cryin' shame when the sheriff or the police department of this town could not spare one personnel to direct the funeral of my sister-in-law through Statesboro Monday. President or no president, that was very disrespectful to my family. What if it was your family member? I bet you would have been there then."
"This … time change is awful. Workin' people and chil … children need more of daylight outside. Is it anywhere in the bible where God said this should happen? I can't find it. Please let me know if there is. Seriously, if it is God's will that time changes, I will agree with it."
"It looks like GeorgiaSouthern lost another close game when their kicker failed to make a short field goal attempt … and shanked the ball badly."
"I'm callin' to complain about the students of Bulloch … Bulloch County Schools not bein' able to see George Bush on Monday. They were promised 200 seats and nobody got in except for maybe two schools. I would like to know why that is."
"I wonder why Portal High School football game did not get covered. … Nuthin' in the paper at all for Friday night's game. Seems unfair to me for the high school, coaches and players."
"For all you Bush supporters that showed up to hear his speech yesterday at the Hanner Fieldhouse, I'd like to ask you a question. How could you tell if he was lyin' to you or his spech was full of misleading statements? Answer: his lips were moving."
"I believe that if we realize that President Bush is a human being just like we are; he puts his pants on one leg at a time just like we do; he makes mistakes just like we do. That's because nobody's perfect. But if we … he has a big … obligation, responsibility to lead a country and if we would only pray for him, then this world will be a great … better place."
"This message is about the president's visit. I just can't understand why they gave out more tickets than the … Hanner Fieldhouse will hold. We stood in line with a lot of old people, waitin' two hours, and then they closed the doors. And if we had tickets we should have been able to get in. I wish somebody'd print this in the paper and print a reason why they did this."
"I just wanna call in and say that I think it's ridiculous that the board of education … decided that children could only be out between 9 and 1:30 on the day the president of the United States came to Georgia Southern University. My child … no longer has perfect attendance because his mother chose to take him out of school so he could have a … very rememorable experience in his life. But now he no longer has perfect attendance. Thanks, Bulloch County Board of Education."
"I wanna … know if someone could shed some light on the air conditioners that come out of the old … hospital. My understandin' they were donated to the BCCI institute for puttin' in a dorm but nobody knows where they at or what's happened to 'em. I just wondered if somebody could spread some light on that. The air conditioner from the old hospital."
