The Corner has a series of great questions reporters should (but won’t, because they’re too in the tank) ask Obama. Here were a few of my favorites:
- You characterized Ayers as ” respected.” What do you respect about him? Do you respect any other unrepentant terrorists?
- Do you agree with the National Journal’s assessment that you’re the nation’s most liberal senator? If not, whom do you maintain is more liberal?
- Could you please cite three things you’ve done as senator to win the war in Iraq?
- Excluding political campaigns, what’s the largest enterprise you’ve ever managed? How successful was it?
- You’ve stated that given the state of the economy, as president you might have to delay your tax plan. Why isn’t this an admission that your tax plan would hurt the economy?
- You’ve stated that determining when a baby gets human rights is “above [your] pay grade.” Let’s make it simple. Do you believe a baby is a human being? If not, why not? If you do, why wouldn’t a baby be entitled to human rights? Is your uncertainty regarding this issue the reason you voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act?
- Did you ever tell Ayers that his actions were “despicable”? If so, did you do so at the time you interviewed to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, or later?
