Since MSM interviewers have so much difficulty asking Obama tough questions, let’s offer them some help.
Here are some of mine:
Could you describe your experiences at the Million Man March?
Did you go with a group from church?
Did Rev. Wright travel with you?
Did you get to meet Louis Farrakhan?
Did you get to talk with him? If so, what did you talk about?
Did you talk with Rev. Wright about the March afterward?
What was your evaluation?
How often did you go with your step-father to the mosque in Indonesia?
What was your impression of those services?
Did you receive any special education about Islam from anyone else there?
What do you see as the main differences between Islam and Christianity?
The similarities?
Why did you choose to become a Christian?
Why do you think spending part of your childhood in Indonesia enhances your expertise in foreign relations?
Have you read Rules for Radicals or Revillie for Radicals by Saul Alinsky?
What is your impression of those books/that book?
What did you learn/like?
What do you disagree with?
Who was your trainer in community organizing?
Can you name some of the people who received training with you?
Could you tell us the names and nature of some of the “grass roots” groups that you have organized?
Are any of those groups still in existence?
Your probable opponent in the general election, John McCain, has often reached across the aisle to work on bipartisan projects.
Could you tell us when you’ve done the same?
Did you agree with other Illinois legislators to vote “present” on some of those bills?
As I wrote those questions, I realized Obama could probably tap-dance his way through them. I’d still like to see them asked.
Edit: Changed title of thread to be more accurate.
Good luck getting your questions answered. Barack Hussein Obama has already defined what we cannot talk about when speaking to this proud, elitist African American (well 1/2 AA @ least):
We cannot talk about his ears
We cannot talk about his color
We cannot talk about lack of color
We cannot talk about his Mommy
We cannot talk about his Daddy
We cannot talk about his Grammy
We cannot talk about his fragile ego
We cannot talk about his Flag Pin
We cannot talk about his last name, ‘Obama’
We cannot talk about his middle name, ‘Hussein’
We cannot talk about his Muslim upbringing
We cannot talk about his schooling
We cannot talk about his ultra racist Pastor
We cannot talk about his Anti-White feelings
We cannot talk about his terrorist friends network
We cannot talk about his association with Calypso Louie
We cannot talk about his participation in the Million Man March (well @ least the ten thousand man stroll)
We cannot talk about his church attendance
We cannot talk about his voting record
We cannot talk about his wife’s “pride”
We cannot talk about his liberalism
We cannot talk about his gross lack of experience, of ANY kind, which would make him fit for POTUS
...and now we can’t challenge his cowardly appeasement strategy.
.
Shouldn’t we just hand him the keys to the White House???
(and, I don’t know, maybe a year’s supply of fried chicken, a pair of Air Jordan’s & a Boom-Box ?)
Red Rocket,
Your last line detracted from the common sense in the rest of your post.
If we complain about the MSM not asking Obama any tough questions, I thought we could give them some help. I’m irritated that the press didn’t do a better job of vetting him. I asked some questions which I hoped would elicit concrete answers by which we could get some insight into his thinking.
When he speaks to “issue-oriented” questions, he has such a fine-tuned facility with abstract words that it is possible to read almost anything into what he says.
SusanGo had a great one: When President Bush criticized appeasers, why did you yell, “Ouch?” --or something like that.
I can see that my topic has aroused little interest here.
Community organizing is something I know a little about--me and a few reporters in the Chicago area. His answere would be helpful to me.
Maybe we need a thread where we keep track of the questions he has not answered.

Yeah, I know...I should have resisted the urge to slap him down. IMO, Obama has shown himself to be just as bad as Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson: a little better educated, perhaps, but just as bad. Worse perhaps in that he’s immature and has absolutely no clue on the scope of the job he’s after.
I have a pretty good gut feeling that he’ll fall short of getting elected. America’s certainly not ready for that wife of his (and that mouth of hers) as First Lady.
At least Obama has actually run for office and subjected himself to the electorate. Al and Jesse have “appointed” themselves as spokespersons for “Black” people. The MSM, including Fox, goes along with it.
By the way in a community organizer’s “grass roots group,” the group, which has a defined membership, elects its spokesperson.
In listening to sound bites from the news, I have another question for Obama:
Are you calling for a debate so vociferiously now so you can dodge debating McCain later?

Great question. It speaks to Obama’s “Watch this/See how big my balls are?” method of campaigning. That works for most people in high school & maybe college or their first job…
That would call for another question: Where did you take voice training? You unctuous tones do such an impressive job of giving the impression that you’re saying something important. Yet, when your words are analyzed, you haven’t said a thing? Where did you learn this?

Ah...piece of cake. Allow me to stand in for Barack Appeaser Obama:
“Evon, I seek to covey a twin message of tonality and symbolism. My self assured manner virtually assures that the message I, in fact, mean to convey is, in essence, the self-same message that is received by the audience. This a critical distinction in that, in my humble opinion, no other Presidential candidate, has accomplished this heretofore. This directly relates to the message of change, that encapsulates the very campaign, and campaign goals, to which I am speaking to you about now.
Issues will come and go, but the real work, God’s work, and the work of the good people of this country who are at the moment transfixed by the charismatic venue that I singlehandedly command, is the change that they ask for, and which I unselfishly provide.
You change your underwear, don’t you? You change your tires, yes?
You see, change is all around us. It is the very fabric of this great country. Why just last week I passed a bitter, bell ringing, Salvation Army volunteer who said he was looking for change. And so, Evon, are you and I. It has been said that the ONLY constant in life IS change...and that’s why I constantly harp, I mean speak, on it. It’s not that I don’t have anything else of substance to say, but because I seek no distractions in my unwavering commitment to bringing about exactly the things that I hear echoed on the wind: the wind of change, Evon.
I should add that without a modicum of HOPE, that none of this profound change would be possible.
From the article about Obama as a stealth Socialist candidate, I have some more questions;
Which of the books by Black Liberation theologian James Cone have you read?
What did you think of it/them?
What is your opinion of Black Liberation theology?
You talk about “perfecting” America. Could you tell us what you mean by this?
What three steps would you take to begin this “perfecting?”
What is your opinion of Socialism?
You say you want to increase the tax on capital gains even though that would reduce revenue. Is it more important to you to take money from people rather than have more funds for government programs?
You talk about “perfecting” America. Could you tell us what you mean by this?
What three steps would you take to begin this “perfecting?”
I’ll bet you he’s borrowed a page from the Islamic play-book, and by “perfecting” means when blacks rise to supremacy. Much like Hard Muslims will refer to “the innocent” & mean those who follow Islam.
This way, he can speak in euphemisms without revealing his true agenda, beliefs or game plan.
As I wrote those questions, I realized Obama could probably tap-dance his way through them. I’d still like to see them asked.
And, of course, you consider all of your questions to be strictly above board, correct? Objective, rather than subjective? Asked with the utmost sincerity?
I really do not expect Senator Obama to show up and answer the questions that you have posed. That’s unfortunate. But I’ll tell you what - I’ll provide some answers to those questions that I can answer. I’ll provide some answers with the knowledge that the intent behind the questions is to ‘lower the bar’.
Agreeable?
Dang...now I’m totally confused!
I thought the purpose of the questions was to raise the bar.
Raise (or ram) it so far up Obama’s messianic derriere that he’s forced to view the queries as ANYTHING BUT distractions, focus on answers and reveal to us his hidden agenda for reshaping the U.S. of A. to his own, personal color palette…

I am not quite sure what you are talking about. Obama stands a chance of being elected President and I would like to know more about him.
Particularly, I would like to know more about his “community organizing” training and theological beliefs.
As I said in another post, I’ve received “community organizing” training three times from people who were trained by Saul Alinsky.
I am a bit suspicious of “commumity organizers.” Mostly they “organize” a pay check and expense money for themselves by using the “grass roots” group they organize to get grants from foundations that love to fund Leftist causes. I would like to know what, if anything, the groups organized by Obama or people trained by him accomplished.
Obama and his wife keep referring to his “community organizing.” I’d like some history, complete with names, dates, addresses and accomplishments. This would be “objective” and shouldn’t be too hard for him to produce.
I’ve also studied theology. I’d like to know how he expresses his Christian faith--his testimony. Has he read anything other than material about Black Liberation Theology?
My questions are suggestions for tough questions to be asked of Senator Obama. I have not been satisfied with the interviews I have seen or heard so far including the one on FOX News Sunday.
The questions are specific to partial information Obama has offered. If you take him at his word, he seems to be very inconsistent.
Since I was for John McCain for President in 2000, I have kept track of him and know about his history. I’m not overjoyed with him as the nominee but will vote for him just as I voted for Nixon over McGovern. Three unenthusiastic votes for McCain still outnumber two feverishly enthusiastic votes for Obama.
I’m curious about Obama’s theology because his church appears to be “Christian” in name only.
To be fair, I’ve met a two Black Muslim women who appeared to be “Muslim” in name only. They were much more anti-White than they were “Muslim.” They drank alcoholic drinks. One had an abortion when she found out she was carrying a boy because she knew her husband would fight for custody of it in their pending divorce. Apparently males are much more important than females in the Muslim religion--a fact most American feminists overlook.
If the questions were only in the context of a debate, it would be fair--actually essential to ask both candidates similar questions.
In my questions, I was thinking of the holes Obama keeps leaving in his resume when he talks to interviewers about his life.
If you’re saying that it would be to Obama’s advantage if he would face tough interviewers such as Hillary did when she went on the O’Reilly Factor, you are correct.
