They are like a pack of cur dogs, sucking the balls of whatever politician is in front of them. Read this article on Politico, “Seven Questions for the President”.
Now read my questions that I left in their comments forum:
This is why people just don't trust the press. 6 of these 7 questions deal with image or politics or strategy. Only the Israel question, #6, deals with an actual issue. Hey Politico?!?! How about asking the Prez about an issue and about the actions he intends to take with respect to that issue? Here are some suggestions:
1. You promised that unemployment wouldn't go over 8%. It has been in the 10% range for nearly your entire presidency. Specifically, what changes will you make to solve this pressing issue?
2. The US has, for decades, allowed illegal aliens to stream across the border. Will you stop that flow of illegals as is your constitutional duty?
3. Your financial reform bill has left many zombie banks still operating and failed to address the "too big to fail" aspect of those big banks. In other words, the reform did little to eliminate the systemic risk that multiplied this economic collapse. It seems that the reform was the equivalent of throwing the banks into the briar patch. What steps will you take to prevent such a collapse from happening again?
4. The administration appears poised to push GM into a public offering even though early reviews of GM's SEC filings have garnered a collective yawn. Wouldn't it make more sense to wait until business conditions improve? Or are you pushing this for purely political reasons, to give yourself something to tout during the election cycle? And do you plan to purchase a Chevy Volt?
5. Why are you now asking for an additional stimulus bill given that roughly half of the first stimulus has not been spent?
6. A recent headline stated that you have accumulated more debt for the country than all the Presidents from Washington through Reagan, collectively. Secretary of Defense Gates has stated that this level of debt represents a national security threat. Secretary of State Clinton has said that it impairs her ability to conduct our affairs abroad and limits American influence abroad. How will you pay that down and strengthen this country?
7. Governing is a lot harder than running your mouth on the campaign trail, isn't it?
Enjoy your round of golf today, Mr. President.
