Should the media ask these 9 questions about Obama?

Question

1. Why has Obama refused to credit the surge in Iraq?

2. Why has Obama changed his position on The FISA bill?

3. Why do most of Obama's economic plans involve raising taxes on a struggling economy?

4. Why did Obama set a timetable for getting out of Iraq before going there and talking to General Petraeus?

5. Why has Obama crticized Bush in his dealings with Iran when he has recently said that he would support sanctions against them, basically shadowing Bush's policies?

6. Why did Obama tell a HISPANIC AMERICAN crowd that American parents should teach their kids Spanish, but has never said this in front of Americans who were not of Hispanic descent?

7. Why did Obama hammer Mccain for voting against a G.I. Bill, when he himself once voted against funding our troops?

8. Why didn't Obama denounce Reverend Wright the FIRST time when his comments became public?

9. Why is Obama against drilling when 74% of the country is for it?

I will do questions on Mccain next!

Answer 1

I agree with alot of those, although you need to also add why he called his own grandmother a racist when she was the one who raised him!

Answer 2

they should have asked every single one of those questions

Answer 3

I would love to see him try to answer those questions.....especially on The Factor!

Answer 4

They probably should, but will likely not.  It doesn't make any difference, because his answer would be something like " uh - well I - um- I-uh- well ah." Unless he had the questions in advance so his speech writer could prepare answers for him.

Answer 5

to all of the above he could refute them easily - S**t even I could do it for him.

the 3rd and 9th are particularly interesting because they reveal how people only tend to look as far as their noses:

economic woes STARTED when Bush lowered taxes. the poor got poorer and only the rich got richer. The Dow Jones is not an indicator of the economic health of a nation, it's the health of the biggest companies in the country. And they sure were doing fine, with lay-offs, reduced taxes and out-sourcing. But the chickens have come home to roost and now even those companies are feeling the sting. I don't live in the US, but from where I'm standing, I can imagine what victims of foreclosures have to do to survive now.

As for the rich, well under Bush they got mega-rich on the backs of the poorer classes, so if anything, Obama should tax their asses to redistribute the wealth a little more equitably down the chain.

9:

Drilling will solve NONE of the woes now facing gas-guzzling gringoes. What needs to happen is a change in habits. And more efficient cars (see Al Gore's statistic in Inconvenient Truth - it's hilarious and tragic at the same time). Drilling now in virgin territory will give you oil in 10 or 15 years. Why not change your habits NOW (as Al says, the technology EXISTS) and not need the extra oil. Ever.

Will it take the flooding of Florida to get you guys to change? Coz New Orleans was full of black people and that didn't really cause a stir...
