Questions for the Messiah

[Mule]

Questions the media should (but won’t) ask Obama during the debates:


1.Senator Obama, you’ve said "We can't drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times...”Why should an American who works hard and pays his bills on time not be able to decide for himself what kind of car he drives, how much food he eats, and where he should set his thermostat?And if he can’t decide those things, who are you proposing should do it for him?

2.Senator Obama, if getting billions of barrels of oil from ANWR and offshore won't lower the price of oil, why does Nancy Pelosi believe the price will go down if we release only a few million barrels from our strategic oil reserves?Do you believe she wrong?If you think she is correct, do you not believe in the law of supply and demand?

3.Senator Obama, if we have to save the oil and the trees for our children, then don't they also have to save it for their children?And their children's children?At what point would anyone be allowed to drill for oil or cut down a tree?Who should make those decisions?

4.Senator Obama, it has been widely reported that ExxonMobil made $1,500 in profit per second in the second quarter of 2008.But during the same period, it also paid $4,100 per second in taxes.As a percentage of revenue its profit was just over seven per cent, yet you’ve called for a windfall profits tax on the oil companies.Don’t you think that $4,100 per second is enough to pay in taxes?And if you believe a seven per cent profit is a “windfall,” don’t you, to be fair, also have to apply such a tax to all American businesses whose profits exceed seven per cent? Have you any idea how many businesses such a tax would apply to, or how much the economy would suffer if that much revenue was extracted from it?

5.Senator Obama, will you promise that if elected you will not support any slavery reparations legislation, and will veto any such legislation that makes it to your desk?If not, why not?

6.Senator Obama, you've said you'll increase the minimum wage to $9.50 per hour.A small business with a few minimum wage janitors may have to fire one of them and make the others work harder in order to absorb your mandated increase in wages.No doubt those who receive the raise will be happy, but what would you say to the unskilled laborer who loses his job because of the increase?

7.Senator Obama, do you believe that anyone who would vote against you is a racist?

8.Senator Obama, polls show approximately 90-95 per cent support for you among black voters.Does that suggest that many black voters are racist?


9.Senator Obama, a woman who serves as one of your campaign precinct captains and who is the co chair of the Houston Obama Leadership Team had a Che Guevara poster prominently displayed in one of your campaign offices.After you learned of the incident, did you advise all your offices to remove such posters?Your campaign issued a statement that it was “disappointed” to see the media account of the poster “because it is both offensive to many Cuban Americans, and Americans of all backgrounds.”Many people sport Che Guevara T-shirts, probably without knowing much about that revolutionary communist or the murderous atrocities he committed.Can you enlighten some of those uneducated now, by giving us your opinion of Che Guevara?

10. Senator Obama, you were one of the Illinois politicians cited in the indictment of your long-time friend and fundraiser Tony Rezko for having received political contributions from his kickback funds.Although you reportedly returned $85,000 in political contributions you received from Rezko and his family, inasmuch as there would appear to be a conflict of interest, if elected President, will you promise not to pardon Rezko, who was convicted of corruption charges for trading clout as a top advisor to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich?

11. Senator Obama, 1960s radicals and Weather Underground militants William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn disappeared in 1970 after a bomb, designed to kill army officers in New Jersey, accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse, and eventually turned themselves in to authorities in 1980. Although they were never prosecuted for their involvement in 25 bombings, because of improper FBI surveillance, they nevertheless would be considered shady characters by many Americans.How did you come to know and become friends with Ayers and Dohrn?Is it true they have been babysitters for your children?Do you still associate with them?Do you condemn their involvement with the Weather Underground of the 1960s?

12. Senator Obama, in your July trip overseas you visited eight countries in eight days, which one fawning CNN anchor described as “Incredible!”We assume you were not piloting the plane, didn’t press your own suits, and had your meals prepared by others.Would you describe what you did as “incredible,” or do you think the media has gone overboard in its unabashed enthusiasm for you?

13. Senator Obama, blacks and the media support you in overwhelming numbers, but that support does not extend to many other segments of the population.What do blacks and the media see in your candidacy that others do not?

14. Senator Obama, you said you favor affirmative action "when properly structured."Can you explain what you meant by “properly structured?”When is a quota not a quota?

15. Senator Obama, if you lose the election there will be immediate media criticism that “America was not ready” for a black President.Will you tend to agree with those charges, or will you accept the fact that perhaps millions of Americans simply don’t agree with your policies?

16. Senator Obama, for more than 30 years liberals have been arguing that we need a tax on gasoline that is great enough to discourage consumption and encourage research into alternate fuels.Now that we have the high prices they wanted all along, suddenly those high prices are not a good idea.Which is it?Are high oil prices good or bad?


17. Senator Obama, why do you want to double foreign aid?How will you pay for that increased aid?Isn’t balancing the budget here at home more important than trying to curry favor with other countries?Will there be strings attached to your increased aid?If not, why not?

18. Senator Obama, do you agree with Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters that we should nationalize the oil companies?Are there any other businesses that you think should be nationalized?If so, why?Should other industries fear nationalization?Why would that not be socialism?

19. Senator Obama, you’ve threatened to drastically raise the capital gains tax.Where will the economy get the needed cash to start new businesses if you confiscate it via higher capital gains taxes?History has shown that a lowering of the tax always promotes business growth and expansion, while raising the tax always slows the economy.How do you expect your tax to do otherwise, or do you have some unique economic skills that prior administrations in both parties lacked?

20. Senator Obama, you plan to raise income taxes.Even if you limit those increases to the wealthiest Americans, how do you avoid the job losses that would necessarily result from such an increase?If, for example, a millionaire pays your higher taxes by foregoing the construction of a larger home or a new boat, what do you say to the middle-class carpenter or boat-builder who lost his job because of your tax increase?
