Almost a month has gone by and the American people are stunned that the new President is plowing through legislations like a three year old high on sugar and racing through a china store. Leaving destruction in his path and laughing all the way. Obama is having a grand old time with one spending bill after another. Yet, he won't stop and talk to one of his toughest critics. Heck, the invitation is out there, yet there is a gut feeling among conservatives that this coward of a President would not dare to face anyone who opposes him and his Administration. It is almost as if the Messiah in practicing in the Oval Office how to point at someone, and see if they will disintegrate on his command. (He hasn't perfected it yet) On the off chance that President Obama will accept the offer, here are a few questions that should be asked.
1. According to your policy, stimulating the economy means we have to spend money. Why do you feel that it is better to promote government spending instead of providing tax cuts which would stimulate consumer spending?
2. At this time, you feel that it is your Administration's responsibility to control banks and force them to stop foreclosures on mortgages that can not be paid. In essence, you are willing to force the banking industry to follow the same path as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which if you need to be reminded they failed. What guarantees do we have that this new government enforcements on banks will work?
3. Mr President, you have written two books, been a Senator and now won the election for President, do you think now is the time to go beyond the bumper stickers slogan and tell the American public what is your political philosophy? Would it be fair to label it fascism? Socialism?
4. Speaking of your campaign promises , you promised change and hope. Issues that we were facing during the election would cease to exist, but now you are forecasting worse times ahead. You urged former President Bush to pass legislation for the first stimulus in order to save America. What happened?
5. How does giving money to ACORN, AMTRAK and STD Prevention stimulate the economy?
6. Have you found a new home for the Gitmo detainees?
7. Mr. President, you claim to be a constitutional scholar, could you explain the First Amendment? If you believe in Free Speech, then why are you allowing members of your own party to look for ways to silence conservative talk?
8. Another campaign promise that you gave, was that the government would be more transparent. Explain why you passed three different legislation without any notification to your press office? Why was your latest victory, passed through congress so fast that no one had a chance to read the over 1,000 page bill? When will the transparent government begin?
9. Mr. President, your Cabinet picks are not shaping up to be "reputable." Many of them have tax problems. sticky conflicts of interests and some are lobbyists that you claimed would not be welcomed into your cabinet. It seems that the vetting process has been sloppy, would you say that is a fair statement? What will you do to make sure that you next appointments meet the requirements of the job, as well as being moral upstanding citizens?
10. Speaking of you picks for your administration, are you sorry now that Bidden accepted your offer to be Vice-President?
11. On a personal note, which title do you prefer, "Czar", "Messiah", or "King"? Or would you like to create your own title?
12. Mr. President you say that we must all act responsible when it comes to spending. That everyone is going to have some skin in the game and learn to live within our means. Please explain why our Government can not live within their means. Why our government takes in so much in taxes and yet spends it like there is plenty more where that came from.
13. Finally, Mr. President, you are president now and the assumption is that you are currently making more than you were as a Senator? That should indicate that you should not receive bonuses either. Like living in the White House for nothing, having a limo, car etc. Should there be a salary cap for you or is this question above your "pay scale"?
These are just a few questions that are begging to be asked. However, they will never get asked by the "I Love Obama" media and conservative commentators, such as Sean Hannity will not have the opportunity to present these questions. This is still the land of the opportunities and dreams, in that spirit, let's dream of the day when Obama will have to answer these questions.
