April 16 Debate: Questions you'd like Obama to be asked.

[ZforHill]

...by the moderators from ABC.

I'll start if off.

"Earlier you stated the Rezko had raised $150,000 for you, but recently, that number had risen to $250,000. How did you lose track of $100,000 the first time?

If Hillary gets to respond, she should purposely mistake the real amount, and say 350,000. When she's corrected, her perfect respond should be "I'm sorry, that number just keeps changing..." in the cute laughter tone Hillary has.

What else should he be asked?

[Ohio mom]

Why did you find it necessary to campaign for your cousin Odinga in Kenya?? How did you feel when you found out he went on a murderous rampage when he lost the election???

Why do you find it ok for your campaign officials and followers to threaten and bully Hillary supporters???

[ZforHill]

Why did you find it necessary to campaign for your cousin Odinga in Kenya?? How did you feel when you found out he went on a murderous rampage when he lost the election???

Why do you find it ok for your campaign officials and followers to threaten and bully Hillary supporters???

Whoa, you're a rough one. :p

Here's another:

"You've said that the reason you had not one meeting after being elected to the Afganistan Oversight Committee was because you were running for President. Tell me Mr Obama, is campaigning more important than your responsibilities in the Senate? And if elected, would you prioritize your duties in the same manner?"

[Ohio mom]

Whoa, you're a rough one. :p

Here's another:

"You've said that the reason you had not one meeting after being elected to the Afganistan Oversight Committee was because you were running for President. Tell me Mr Obama, is campaigning more important than your responsibilities in the Senate? And if elected, would you prioritize your duties in the same manner?"

I'm a Hillary supporter whatcha expect:D

[floorrunner]

Why did you lie about not hearing Reverend Wrights, bigoted comments?

[Ijane]

How did you feel when you found out he went on a murderous rampage when he lost the election???

That would be my #1 question!

Other questions would be along the Odinga theme...

*Why do you feel Sharia law would be better for Kenyans
*Will you help Islam supporters impose stronger sharia in Tanzania?
* Do you feel all of Africa should be under Sharia law?
* Do you feel Sharia would be good for America?
*Are you considering Farrakhan to be your running mate?

[Mom4Hillary]

What else should he be asked?

Haven't submitted this, but I'm thinking,

"Senator Clinton: Since on average the American woman is paid 77 cents to the American man's %1. 00 for the same work, it means that if you're elected president, you will be paid $308,000 annually, but if Obama becomes president he will be paid $400,000. What do you think about this disparity and what plan do you have in place to close this gap?:cool:

If you like this question let me know. And let me know to whom it needs to be submitted. Thanks.

[victory]

Senator Obama, you stated that you WERE NOT aware of "those specific" controversial comments from the recent videotapes of Rev. Wright's sermons and you've stated that you WERE aware of some of Wright's controversial comments. What were the controversial comments that you WERE aware of your pastor actually saying?

[joeysky18]

How can we submit our question?

[ZforHill]

I'm not sure where it must be submitted, or how they formualate the questions. But I love the questions, there are some things that not even I thought about, or how my mind would articulate it. Keep it up :D

Another(sorry, I have to write this before I forget lol):

"Before the Senate, you donated only 1% of your salary to charities, that number has risen and fluctuated from 2-4% after you joined the Senate. Are you more charitable now because you were planning to run for President?"

[Ijane]

* Is Karl Rove the real mastermind behind the Obama campaign?
* Do you really feel that appointing republicans to your cabinet to procure votes is a good policy?
* Are you only bring Republicans into your cabinet for cross-over votes to help you win the election or do you have a bigger plan? Are you trying to restructure and/or bring down America's political parties?

[ALL4HILLARY]

Why did you find it necessary to campaign for your cousin Odinga in Kenya?? How did you feel when you found out he went on a murderous rampage when he lost the election???

Why do you find it ok for your campaign officials and followers to threaten and bully Hillary supporters???

That is what I really want to know. Talk about his relationship with this Jihadi. and also when is the next update on Rezko case and contributions.

[samkm]

How many times have your children attended Rev Wright's sermons.

How many times have you or Michelle attended any of the hateful and anti-American sermons of Wright in your 20 years with the Church.

How many times have you spoken with Wright since 3/14.

Why have you still not convened a session on Afghanistan, but you were able to find time to write and deliver speeches to flog your dead campaign.

Do you feel that the people whose company you keep does not reflect on your character.

Your church TUCC where Wright was your pastor has reprinted the manifesto of Hamas and mailed to all the Churchgoers and you are one of the churchgoers so your house would have received a copy of this Hamas manifesto. You have donated $22,500 to this church. You have attended this church for 20 years. Given these factors, how will you forge any relationship with Israelis.

Of the 47Million Americans that presently do not have healthcare insurance coverage, your healthcare plan would still not cover 15M Americans. What happens when one of them gets sick?

You have voted "No" on maximum cap of 30% on interest rate, effectively allowing loan shark behavior. You have also accepted large sums of money in campaign contributions from top Wall Street banks. What is the relationship between these two facts?

Your wife received a $200,000 or so in salary increase after you entered the senate in a hospital in Chicago. such an increase is unheard of. What qualified her for such a large increase. What role did you play in her getting such a large increase. What workdoes she do? What is her role with relation to people who come for emergency care without insurance coverage?

Your church does not endorse LGBT, hates whites, italians, israelis and many others. And your lecture was majorly a defense of Wright who speaks such hatred. How can you be viewed as a uniter?

Michelle's college thesis had to do with inability to identify with the American experience. This coupled with her recent statement "first time in my life I am proud to be an American" and a college podium statement about diversity "that's America for you" makes our audience wonder if Michelle and you are recoving anti-Americans, proud only if the occasion serves you. Comment?

How much did you pay for the white mink coat for Michelle? Did it make Michelle proud of the animals that died?

What is your relationship to Ayers?

What is your relationship to Auchi? Explain the oil money trails.

It appears that you do not want Americans to know that you have an Arab background. Why? Explain your Arab background, starting with your grandparents. Clarify your Arab connections.

How does your tolerance of Anti-American sentiments and your Arab background and your sitting through Wright's sermons on sunday after 9-11 make you patriotic?

Your step father Lolo Soetoro took you to Mosques for more than 6 years. Can you recite the Koran? What are the common elements between Koran and Bible? Koran accepts Christ as a prophet. Believing in Christ is consistent with Koran, Correct?

If your message is Unity, why do you not want to acknowledge your background and prior faith?

A gay pastor in the TUCC Church was slain and Pastor Wright's sermon was less than respectful. Did you attend that sermon?

You have donated $22,500 to your Church. Do you receive your Church bulletin?

What are your plans in regards to the budget deficit?

When do you plan to end the war in Iraq? Why did your foreign relations advisor indicate to UK media that you would not end the war in 2009; that date is very tentative?

Why have you co-sponsored 400 bills in one year? Why are you absent so frequently for voting? You are next only to McCain in this regard.

Why have you voted "Present" more than 140 times in Chicago senate?

Why have you co-sponsored a bill on gun control? Why have you not voted on that bill that you have not sponsored? Is this not a flip-flop? Which side of the issue are you on, really?

You campaigned for Odinga in Kenya, and you called your cousin while you were campaigning in New Hampshire, so you were obviously very involved in his campaign pocess. Is it acceptable to endorse someone with such poor reputation locally? How does it reflect on you as a person?

[diane]

Question: You're whole campaign is based upon your judgement, but yet you associate with a Terrorist, Chicago Slum Lord up on indictment charges, a Pastor whom you consider "like an uncle" who makes bombastic patently untrue statements with no regard to historical fact, and you WANTED to vote to confirm Roberts to the Supreme Court. Roberts is an Anti-Woman, Anti-Worker extreme Pro-Corporatist, and you only voted no because someone advised you you could not vote for a Neo-Con and then run as a Democratic Candidate, so you changed your vote, but the fact remains you WANTED to confirm Roberts to the Supreme Court, add to that your assistance in bringing Sharia Law to Kenya--definatley Anti-Women in it's opression of Women's basic freedoms and rights, so how does this not show you're judgement is severly impaired and if elected President, with half the population being women, who WOULD you appoint to the Supreme Court?

Okay, okay...it's an out-of-control runon sentence, which probably should be three questions instead of one. ; )

[Brooke]

Since it's at the National Constitution Center, I'd ask him if he knew how to recite the Preamble.:p Or "Senator Obama, how have you been enjoying your visit to Philadelphia? Take a ride down to South Philly lately?";)

[B positive]

Senator Obama, you stated that you WERE NOT aware of "those specific" controversial comments from the recent videotapes of Rev. Wright's sermons and you've stated that you WERE aware of some of Wright's controversial comments. What were the controversial comments that you WERE aware of your pastor actually saying?

This is the question I had THE moment he said..."I was aware of some things but not all." He is such a newbie!!!
He just keeps opening the door wider to his own scandal!

[LadyLuck]

You are running your campaign on a theme of Change and unity.

Can we expect to see the same type of unity in our country that your church projects?

[YesSheCan]

Why doesn't Obama drop out of the race? There is no way he can get the required number of delegates and all he is doing is preventing us from having a truly just society. Why won't he drop out?

[Soaring Eagle]

My question for Obama. If we all in the audience pledgae allegiance to the flag will you join us(yes with your hand on your heart)? If he says yes, then have him do it along with everyone!

[Patsy]

WTF is in that Kool-Aid?

[Annie]

Why did you find it necessary to campaign for your cousin Odinga in Kenya?? How did you feel when you found out he went on a murderous rampage when he lost the election???

Why do you find it ok for your campaign officials and followers to threaten and bully Hillary supporters???

Those are my questions also. AND
During Selma was your mother and your father there and if THEY (he or she or both) were you as you would have been 4 according to your date of birth and the date of Selma.

Also how do you feel being lauded by MARXISTS?

PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE - IMPORTANT:
http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/31226.html

[DrLisa]

I had no idea he went to a Mosques for all that time. Where are his Arab ties?

[Ijane]

sudhakm, you win. You got my head spinning!

Is Obama's Arab background a well known fact that I missed? Wow! So what again were his reasons he gave for joining the Trinity church???

[Patsy]

I had no idea he went to a Mosques for all that time. Where are his Arab ties?

His Father was Arab-African. Thus, he was campaigning for his Arab cousin in Kenya.

The only African-Negro (which is PC) on his side of the family is his great-great-grandmother which technically makes him not even African American under US law.

Funny how the MSM won't touch that one.

[Ohio mom]

My question for Obama. If we all in the audience pledgae allegiance to the flag will you join us(yes with your hand on your heart)? If he says yes, then have him do it along with everyone!

hahaha and offer him a flag lapel pin and tell you would like to pin inon him:p

[B positive]

Let's be clear:

NOTHING wrong with being a muslim
SOMETHING VERY WRONG with being a radical muslim extremist

NOTHING wrong with being Arab
SOMETHING VERY WRONG with being a radical Arab extremist

Review Wright's video for further clarification of "extremist" views!

P.S. There are some HOT Arab guys out there ;):)

[lea210]

"why do you try to bring down Hillary's foreign relations experience, despite traveling to over 82 nations, yet you yourself have no significant foreign relations experience at all?

[ZforHill]

You know what, some of these questions are total news to me. Great job compiling them!

Here's another one:
"Your records as a state senator are missing or you've never recorded them. My question is: Why did you feel it wasn't necessary to keep records of your dealings in the State Senate? Or how could it simply have vanished? If you're in the White House, should we expect records to go missing in there as well?"

Question based on this:
http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/judicial-watch-obama-intended-to-leave-no-paper-trail-2008-03-26.html

[hipelayne]

You guys are really tough! lol! You can bet that not one of those questions will be asked! I think FoxNews has an "ask the candidates" link on their home page. You can ask a question of any of the candidates - the question I posed was to BO - IF he becomes POTUS (God Forbid!) and he gets his "health plan" in place what happens when one of the people who choose not to purchase insurance gets sick? (And there will be MANY of them!) Do we who have purchased insurance pay for them? Do they have to purchase insurance before they can get medical attention? Will they be thrown in jail until they purchase health insurance? Will they be left to die? I haven't had a response - go figure!

[hillary4change]

MOM4Hillary you rock!!! That is the perfect question!!! I LOVE IT YES SEND IT IN!!!

[Brooke]

WTF is in that Kool-Aid?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! HILARIOUS!!!

On a serious note, I'm trying to score a ticket to this thing. If I get one, I'll be sure to pass these questions along.;)

"Hey O, can you get your supporters to stop harrassing my political hero? Thanks"

[B positive]

!
Here's another one:
"Your records as a state senator are missing or you've never recorded them. My question is: Why did you feel it wasn't necessary to keep records of your dealings in the State Senate?

Question based on this:
http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/judicial-watch-obama-intended-to-leave-no-paper-trail-2008-03-26.html

OMG!!! I just realized that Obama's PRESENT votes in the state senate are VERY MUCH AKIN to his simply being PRESENT IN THE CHURCH for 20 yrs without putting himself on the line and saying, "NO, I REJECT THIS HATE SPEECH!"

The best predictor of FLUFF's future behavior is his past behavior... or lack thereof !!!

[AdrienneJ]

Why would anyone who loves America vote for you?

[Ijane]

Let's be clear:

NOTHING wrong with being a muslim
SOMETHING VERY WRONG with being a radical muslim extremist

NOTHING wrong with being Arab
SOMETHING VERY WRONG with being a radical Arab extremist


That's very true. However, Obama's ancestry, along with his wife's hatred of America, the flag pin thing, the hand on heart business, his decision to partner with Wright (and Farrakhan because they do go hand in hand) and belonging to Trinity is just a little more then coincidental.

[Annie]

You are running your campaign on a theme of Change and unity.

Can we expect to see the same type of unity in our country that your church projects?


Now that's a good one - just the kind of question
B i l l C. would ask.

[ZforHill]

"You are a smoker Mr Obama, so how can you promote Health Care?"

http://www.angrywhiteboy.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/windowslivewritersmokeemifyougotem-12634obama-smoking2.png

[DrLisa]

:) I love the smoker question. That should be posted everywehre?

[Ijane]

You are a smoker Mr Obama, so how can you promote Health Care?"
Do you smoke around your children?
Do you smoke inside your house?
Do you smoke inside your car when your children are riding in it?

[DrLisa]

When is the last time you did cocain?

How much do you drink every night?

[hillary4change]

My 15 yr. old daughter has a question for Obama.
She wants to know, why if you are a uniter and not a divider you only embrace the black side of your heritage and not the white side of your heritage. You say you renounce Rev. Wrights hate sermons and yet are you not living a divided life? Is that not on its face divisive and hypocritical? If so, what are your plans to rectify that?
She wants to know how you plan on getting Grandma out from under the bus???

[ZforHill]

Do you smoke around your children?
Do you smoke inside your house?
Do you smoke inside your car when your children are riding in it?

Do you like them in a plane? Do you like them on a train? Do you like green eggs and ham?

rofl, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

[DrLisa]

Your daughter has a very good question!!!!

It's time to change politics. JUST WORDS! Why don't Wrights words matter to you?

[Disfranchised]

How many times have your children attended Rev Wright's sermons.

How many times have you or Michelle attended any of the hateful and anti-American sermons of Wright in your 20 years with the Church.

Grandma from under the bus! I almost forgot that! That's one smart girl you got there. :D

Question:
"In your speech on race, you said that your grandmother had said things that made you cringe, and 2 days later implied that she was a 'typical white person'... Are you implying that your grandmother is a racist, and if so, do you believe the 'typical white person' is also a racist?"

[hillary4change]

I love the limarick that was funny!!!
GO Hillary!!!

[freethinker]

Senator Obama, we have heeded your call to begin a conversation about race. Do you believe discrimination against women deserves a similar conversation?

Currently in the United States, statistics show that men murder at a rate ten times that of women. It also shows that 25% of the people men kill are women. Statistics also show that 3 million men rape women every year. Thats means a man rapes a woman every 15 seconds in this country. Every year, men also kill three times as many women who are their wives or partners than soldiers are killed in Iraq.

What do you think about the epidemic of male violence and in particular, crimes against women?

:cool:

[Les33]

Do you think it's wrong for someone to take credit for something they didn't do?

Can I use that race speech you gave that everyone liked so much and pretend I wrote it? Actually, never mind, I want to write a different one.

Are you inspired by people who fabricate details of their histories and personalities to influence others to admire and identify with them?

Since Rev. Wright may or may not have been recently crossed off your list of people you most admire, who would you say is the most influential person in your life. (I really wonder this)

[ZforHill]

"You're wife said that 'as a black man' you can get shot getting gas. Do you believe that more black men are assaulted with a deadly weapon than white men?"

If he says yes:

"Well, according to the Department of Justice, far more white men in 2005, 100,000 plus to be exact are assaulted with a deadly weapon than black men. Are you just playing the race card, pretending to be the victim of hate?"

[DrLisa]

How much money has Oprah given your campaign?

BE HONEST FOR ONCE.

[freethinker]

Senator Obama, your campaign slogan is "Change" and you promise the country unity.

If you are a change candidate, why are your policies virtually identical to Senator Clintons?

And if you are a unifier, why is your own party so dangerously divided?

[G4Hillary]

When will you realize that you have no chance of winning in November?

[HillWill]

Since msnbc thought to play only bad videos of Hillary during the debate, I would like to see a run of soundbites of Sen. Obama regarding Rezko:
1) SC debate when he said he only worked 5 hours on a case in a law firm that represented Rezko;
2) Then when he said Rezko only donated a couple grand;
3) Then when he said they received XX amount and they returned it;
4) Then when he said they received XXX amount;
5) Then when he said Rezko helped him buy the house, as a "boneheaded" move;
6) Then when he said Rezko really helped him raise a quarter of a million dollars...
THEN show a loop of videos when he said he never heard Rev. Wright make "controversial" comments, ending with the one when he said in his speech he did hear them.
THEN ASK...Senator, you only made these statements after each report showing what you said was untrue. How do we know when you're telling the truth?

[SugnSpicesmom]

Senator Obama, have you ever had an extramarital affair?

I would LOVE to ask THAT one!!!!!

[lanesharon]

How do you lie and cheat and degrade people the way you do and still look at yourself in the mirror every morning? :D:D:D

[samkm]

What else should he be asked?

Haven't submitted this, but I'm thinking,

"Senator Clinton: Since on average the American woman is paid 77 cents to the American man's %1. 00 for the same work, it means that if you're elected president, you will be paid $308,000 annually, but if Obama becomes president he will be paid $400,000. What do you think about this disparity and what plan do you have in place to close this gap?:cool:

If you like this question let me know. And let me know to whom it needs to be submitted. Thanks.

Pose it to Obama. What work experience from your actual work can you show to convince the women in America that you are more qualified to address this.

[samkm]

what is the difference between boneheaded and 'no judgment'

Your charity in 2007 was less than 1% of your income. How much of the charity was from money that you received from sources that you vowed to donate?

You indicated in the first debate that your relationship with Rezko was limited to 5 hours of consulting time you gave through your lawfirm to Rezko. Now we are discovering money after money after money.. How much more money are we going to be discovering as this trial unravels.
-------------
Since CBS is clearly good with pulling up old videos.. probably they shd pull these prior debate statements and put them in context.
-------------

We have already discovered that Rezko has ploughed money to Wright for Meeks' campaign. How much has Rezko contributed to your campaign directly? How much has Rezko contributed to your campaign through Wright.

How much has Wright contributed to your campaign individually? How much as he raised as your campaign member? Are you keeping this questionable $$

How will you attend Wright's church if you are living in DC? Would you provide him a prominent role in your cabinet? would he sleep in President Lincoln's room? Would you be calling him for advise? How often have you called him for advise during the time he has been engaged in the campaign.

From your statement that Wright was aware that you may need to distance him and your stated response to that which you have revealed, it is clear that you were aware of Wright's anti-American statements and their severity. What made you think that such facts may not come to the surface? Did you feel that Americans would simply accept this as perfectly reasonable comaraderie/mentorship for a leader?

[Musicdude]

How can you be seen as a uniter, when you were an active 20-year follower of a pastor that was a separatist? How is that history not an influence?

And what is the reason for using using a fake-southern-preacher-accent, during all of your speeches? Explain and justify the lack of authenticity.

[smsemedic]

you have not held a single meeting, you voted "present" 130+ times, you "copy" hillary's policies.....when you get a 3am phone call, will you say....'can you call me back later....i wanna think about it?????'

[diane]

Not to offend anyone, but I just have to say this, because it seems a lot of people here think BO not wearing a lapel flag pin and not putting his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance is a big thing and very significant. And, to some people I'm sure it is. But if I'm honest I wouldn't wear a flag lapel pin either--unless perhaps it was a "b-rude" design by Boy George, or a Lacroix.

I don't like "ribbon bullies" (credit phrase to Seinfeld) either--hand over the heart, that kind of thing. Also, if it weren't for School House Rock, I, and lot of people my age, probably wouldn't even know the Preamble to Our Constitution. There's a LOT I HATE about BO but those kinds of things I personally just can't get upset over.

Now having "In God We Trust" on our money and also replacing "E Pluribus Unum" as our National Motto, and inserting "Under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance... all that anti-Constitution stuff that happened in the 1950's, and we've never gotten rid of it since! THAT's something to be pissed off about, rather than someone not wearing a lapel pin. But again, that's just me.

Also, can someone give me a link so I can learn about BOs link to Sharia Law? I KNEW this jerk was Anti-Women, everything he says points it out like neon lights on Broadway, yet no-one calls him out on it!! I truthfully wasn't aware of his support of such misogyny. So if anyone can point me in the direction of some links etc. I'd appreciate it. : )

[Bloomer]

Mr. Obama, How do you explain your voting record on WOMEN'S ISSUES of 0% in the Senate??????

[EH]

Sen. Obama, with what rationale did you accept to be the chairman of the Senate Subcommitte on European Affairs if you yourself have never been to Europe? Is that why you have never held a committee meeting?

[freethinker]

Sen. Obama, with what rationale did you accept to be the chairman of the Senate Subcommitte on European Affairs if you yourself have never been to Europe? Is that why you have never held a committee meeting?

Thank you, Conchita! That is hilarious!!!!
:p

[Annie]

Senator Obama, have you ever had an extramarital affair?

I would LOVE to ask THAT one!!!!!

Make that a Homosexual affair (Larry) and what do you know about the two gay men belonging to your church who were murdered. The Choir Master in particular who was trying to contact Larry after he spoke out about the Barak/Limo/Larry sex and cocaine encounter.

[Ijane]

Not to offend anyone, but I just have to say this, because it seems a lot of people here think BO not wearing a lapel flag pin and not putting his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance is a big thing and very significant. And, to some people I'm sure it i

Diane, It's all about the REAL TRUTH as to WHY he doesn't wear the pin or put his hand on his heart. Those two things alone don't mean anything but put them together in a much larger list of questionable things he does and it all adds up to his anti-American sentiments.

Just a simple question for Obama: How can you campaign as someone who can unite this country, while belonging to a church that advertises itself as "unashamably black," and anit-middle class preaching separatism? I want to know who the real Barack Obama is. Can you tell me? Don't you feel hypocritical to say one thing and have your actions and association say something else?

[Soren]

Senator Obama: I like your idea of putting governmental meetings on CSPAN. I wrote a screenplay one time with that in it. However, what prevents the big players from making all their deals before they get into the room?

As the leader, don't you have to stand for something rather than just saying, "I'll listen to everyone?"

Why am I tempted to call you the "Tommy Tune of politics?"

[Soren]

Senator Obama: Did you help Michelle pick out her ankle-length white mink coat?

[Mom4Hillary]

MOM4Hillary you rock!!! That is the perfect question!!! I LOVE IT YES SEND IT IN!!!

Thanks. I edited it some and sent it to Katie at www.cbsnews.com

woman = 77 cents
man = $1.00

Katie: PLEASE consider asking Senator Clinton the following question when you moderate the Pennsylvania debate: Senator Clinton: On average the American woman is paid 77 cents to the American man's $1. 00 for the same work. If this formula were applied to the US president's annual salary, you would be paid $308,000 for your work while Senator Obama would be paid $400,000. What do you think about this disparity and what plan do you have in place to close this gap?

[Mom4Hillary]

MOM4Hillary you rock!!! That is the perfect question!!! I LOVE IT YES SEND IT IN!!!

My 15 yr. old daughter has a question for Obama.
She wants to know, why if you are a uniter and not a divider you only embrace the black side of your heritage and not the white side of your heritage. You say you renounce Rev. Wrights hate sermons and yet are you not living a divided life? Is that not on its face divisive and hypocritical? If so, what are your plans to rectify that?
She wants to know how you plan on getting Grandma out from under the bus???

Your daughter is brilliant! Please sent this to Katie.

[Mom4Hillary]

Mr. Obama, How do you explain your voting record on WOMEN'S ISSUES of 0% in the Senate??????

This has been bugging me too! I try to counter Obama bloggers with the fact that while Hillary as a record of supporting African American issues, BO has done nothing for women's issues nore has he even addressed this in any of his speeches. I am an invisible woman to BO.

[Mom4Hillary]

Not to offend anyone, but I just have to say this, because it seems a lot of people here think BO not wearing a lapel flag pin and not putting his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance is a big thing and very significant. And, to some people I'm sure it is. But if I'm honest I wouldn't wear a flag lapel pin either--unless perhaps it was a "b-rude" design by Boy George, or a Lacroix.

I don't like "ribbon bullies" (credit phrase to Seinfeld) either--hand over the heart, that kind of thing. Also, if it weren't for School House Rock, I, and lot of people my age, probably wouldn't even know the Preamble to Our Constitution. There's a LOT I HATE about BO but those kinds of things I personally just can't get upset over.

Now having "In God We Trust" on our money and also replacing "E Pluribus Unum" as our National Motto, and inserting "Under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance... all that anti-Constitution stuff that happened in the 1950's, and we've never gotten rid of it since! THAT's something to be pissed off about, rather than someone not wearing a lapel pin. But again, that's just me.

Also, can someone give me a link so I can learn about BOs link to Sharia Law? I KNEW this jerk was Anti-Women, everything he says points it out like neon lights on Broadway, yet no-one calls him out on it!! I truthfully wasn't aware of his support of such misogyny. So if anyone can point me in the direction of some links etc. I'd appreciate it. : )

Diane -- I agree that we had better tread lightly here. Let me know if you ever get that link to Sharia Law... I'm curious about that. Blessings.

Senator Obama:

(some initial questions - there are pages more to add)

Why do you use racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia and dishonesty to score votes?

Why are you intent on DIVIDING the support base of the Democratic Party through your divisive politics?

Why do you claim to be a Democrat when your politics and behavior are clearly inconsistent with the ideals and aims of the Democratic Party?

Why do you not CONDEMN the disgusting conduct of many of your supporters - some of whom have made death threats against those who critique you?

How do you respond to the suggestions that your campaign is akin to a cult and an extremist/dangerous cult at that?

Why do you LIE incessantly to elevate your political status?

Why did you LIE about NAFTA?

Why did you LIE about what happened in South Carolina & disgracefully accuse the Clintons of being racist?

Why did you LIE about how much money Rezko previously contributed to your political activites?

Why did you LIE about the nature of your assocations with Wright over 20 years?

Why did you LIE about not engaing in negative campaigning when you do it on a daily basis?

Why do you allow SEXISM to take place in this election and NOT confront it? Is it because you SCORE VOTES from people engaging in SEXISM?

Why did you LIE when you say you support equal rights for LGBT people when your behavior and policies clearly indicates your do not?

Why did you not speak out against the HOMOPHOBIC response of your own church to the MURDER of the openly gay choir director, Donald Young on December 23, 2007?

Why will you not publicly discredit the allegations made by Larry Sinclair whose videos have been viewed by hundreds of thousands of Americans? If his claims are untrue, why won't you denounce them publicly?

Why do you lie about the many lies you have told?

[Ijane]

Why do you lie about the many lies you have told?


LOL!!! :D

"Thank you Murray for your very candid question. I'm going to have to take a minute to think about your question so that I can come up with a good lie to explain why I lie about all the lies I've told"

[ZforHill]

Holy Hell guys! Hearing some of these questions are forcing me to look them up. It just reaffirms my faith in Hillary.

One thing though, it won't be moderated by CBS, but by ABC if my sources are correct. They'll be moderated by Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos according to http://fpc.state.gov/fpc/102450.htm. Anyone know their email addresses?

Few other questions:
"Name the most controversial thing you have heard Pastor Wright say."

"You said that you would not stay in the Church if you had heard Pastor Wright say the most controversial things. Tell me Mr Obama, should the other members of your church leave also? And if No, why?"

[Robin]

You said you donated all of the money that Rezdko raised for you to charity. Which charity did you donate? Was it to Rev. Wright's church??

[JCortese]

You said you hadn't accepted money from oil companies, but you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in your coffers from Exxon, Shell, and various members of the boards of directors of oil companies. Why do you make that claim?

Why do you claim to have passed legislation that died in committee?

How can you sleep nights while falsely attacking two people for being racist who have done more than any other powerful, moneyed white people ever could to help heal the wounds of the racial divide in this country?

[samkm]

You said you donated all of the money that Rezdko raised for you to charity. Which charity did you donate? Was it to Rev. Wright's church??

And was that money channeled towards building the $1.6M mansion for pastor Wright.

Mr. Obama do you favor tax breaks for Kentucky Burley Tobacco Producers?
