Slimy Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 netbuzz writes "Dilbert's Scott Adams kicked off the idea in his November 19th blog post, saying there isn't anything wrong with this country that President Bill Gates couldn't cure in less time than it takes to get a new operating system out the door. Today, the idea is moving forward with a brand-new 'Bill Gates for President' Web site. Adams is also back on the campaign trail, flogging the site and Gates' candidacy." A blog post at Network World includes a lot of eye-rolling about this idea, but neither Adams nor the folks at the 'Gates for President' website seem to be taking this lightly.

MulletRobZ Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Put aside my constant grudge against Microsoft and hell yeah, I'd definitely approve of Bill Gates being President of the United States! :D After all, he does have a good reputation for being a philanthropist.

2xSilverKnight Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 they choose the president that is gonna win .. they never get elected for real by the population. that's a fact and it happened two terms in a row by frauded election. Even the 2006 partial was frauded but the dem win is meaningless in reallity they are even protecting him from impeachment. If you heard the oposite, well it's lies over and over again. If he would have to be impeached, and he should with all the rest of these cowards, it would have been done a long time ago. When I said they .. I mean all the corporate elites supporting them along with these secret societies Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/517497-get-on-the-gates-for-president-bandwagon/#findComment-588097053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him being able to do more of what he wants in his current position, than as president. I honestly feel it would harm Microsoft in some ways too.

Spielo Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Who on earth could possibly think this is a good idea? What's next? Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor of California? If that happened, US politics would go from being a joke to a farce. :rolleyes: EDIT: My post would have been better had it arrived 2 minute earlier.

L3thal Veteran Posted December 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2006 I would vote him in. He has the brains, the charisma, the personality, and the heart to step in and make a difference. However, I highly doubt he would even consider such a thing.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted December 1, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2006 he probably won't listen to all us internet geeks for him being president.. hes got microsoft on the go, he doesn't need the world too. he wouldn't know where to begin to start being president. I'm pro gates, but he's not fit to be a president.. the US needs an idiot.... someone dumber like borat Does he actually have any understanding of how to be a president?WTF MACS? he actually owns part of Apple, and helps build up apple's popularity. he doesn't want to dominate and be all secretive about computers, hes trying to share his gift with the world, and help the computer industry prosper.

nvllsvm Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hmm, that would be interesting for Gates to be president. Not sure if I would vote for him, I could care less that he is famous and I care more about the actual politics.

*John* Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Man, you are really on an Anti-Microsoft campaign this evening :whistle: No. I like and use Microsoft software. I also have a lot of respect for Bill Gates's business acumen. However, I will laugh if someone calls Bill Gates "charasmatic", and I will not support WGA. To call that "anti-microsoft" is almost demonstrating a troll like fanboyism imo. :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/517497-get-on-the-gates-for-president-bandwagon/#findComment-588097376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
