During the practically endless series of Republican debates, we have heard
almost every question imaginable asked to Republican candidates – if by
every question imaginable, you mean horribly slanted, often irrelevant
questions designed to make them look bad and help Obama. We've heard
questions about contraceptives, religion, Newt's angry ex-wife, Gardasil,
etc., etc., etc. So, what would happen if the mainstream media treated Barack
Obama the exact same way that they treat Republicans? The questions might
sound a little something like this.

1) Numerous Mexican citizens and an American citizen have been killed with
weapons knowingly provided to criminals by our own government during
Operation Fast and Furious. If Eric Holder was aware that was going on, do
you think he should step down as Attorney General? Were you aware that was
going on and if so, shouldn't you resign?

2) In 2010 you said Solyndra, which gave your campaign a lot of money, was
"leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future." Today,
Solyndra is bankrupt and the taxpayers lost $500 million on loans that your
administration was well aware might never be paid off when you made them.
What do you say to people who say this is evidence of corruption in your
administration?

3) Unions invested a lot of time and money in helping to get you elected. In
return, they gained majority control of Chrysler, the taxpayers lost 14
billion dollars on General Motors, and General Motors received a special 45
billion dollar tax break. What do you say to people who view this as
corruption on a scale never before seen in American history?

4) Through dubious means, you and your allies in Congress managed to push
through an incredibly unpopular health care bill that helped lead to the
worst election night for the Democratic Party in 50 years. Since the bill has
passed, many of your claims about the bill have proven to be untrue. For
example, we now know the bill won't lower costs and despite your assurances
to the contrary, big companies like McDonald's say they may drop health care
because of the health care reform. Since the American people have rejected
your health care reform and it doesn't do what you said it would, shouldn't
you work with the Republicans to repeal it?

5) When you took office, gas was $1.79 per gallon. Since then, you've
demonized the oil industry, dramatically slowed offshore drilling, blocked
ANWR, and killed the Keystone Pipeline. Now, gas is $3.34 per gallon. How
much higher do you anticipate driving gas prices?

6) Occupy Wall Street has been protesting against Wall Street and the richest
1 percent in America. You are in the top 1 percent of income earners in
America and you have collected more cash from Wall Street than any other
President in history. So, aren't you

exactly the sort of politician that Occupy Wall Street wants to get rid of?

7) How do you decide which foreign leaders to submissively bow towards and
why do you think that's appropriate for an American President?

8) If they could, don't you think the Nobel Committee would take back the
Nobel Peace Prize that you were awarded?

9) You made bipartisanship one of the central themes of your campaign in
2008. Yet, you've worked to push bills through Congress with almost no
Republican support, spent much less time negotiating with Congress than
George Bush, and you've said things like, "But, I don't want the folks who
created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so
we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't
do a lot of talking." Why did you decide to break your campaign promise to
pursue bipartisanship?

10) America lost its AAA credit rating for the first time under your watch.
What do you think you should have done differently to have prevented that
historic failure?

11) You cut more than 500 billion dollars out of Medicare to fund your wildly
unpopular health care reform bill. Given that Medicare is running in the red
already, don't you think it's irresponsible to cut money out of one
entitlement program, that millions of seniors depend on -- to put it into a
risky new entitlement program?

12) Back in July, you said, "Nobody's looking to raise taxes right now.
We're talking about potentially 2013 and the out years." Since you plan to
raise taxes if you're elected and you've had kind words for a value added
tax, shouldn't every American expect a tax increase if you're reelected?

13) Why should the American people reelect you when your 10 year budget
saddles America with more debt than all previous Presidents combined?

14) Your stimulus bill cost more in real dollars than the moon landing and
the interstate highway system combined. What do we have to show for all of
that money spent?

15) Members of your administration promised that the trillion dollar stimulus
would keep unemployment under 8 percent. Instead, we've had 35+ months of 8%
and above unemployment. Doesn't that mean we wasted a trillion dollars on
nothing?
