President Barack Obama rarely makes himself available to the mainstream media. They adore him anyway. At rare press conferences, such as the one scheduled for noon Friday at the White House, they lob softball questions or accept his evasive, meandering answers, rarely pressing him for clarity, much less truth. But there are many questions that the president ought to answer, yet which he is unlikely to face at all.
10. In 2008 you promised not to "do an end-run around Congress" with signing statements. Yet you have used signing statements and you have taken executive actions to circumvent Congress on immigration and other issues. Recently, you decided the employer mandate will not be enforced on October 1. Yet that date is stipulated by law. Doesn't the Obamacare delay violate your powers under the Constitution?
9. Last week we learned that dozens of CIA personnel were in Benghazi at the time of the attack, and that there may be ongoing efforts to suppress information about what actually happened. In October 2012, you said that you issued three directives when you learned of the attack, yet these have never been seen. What did you actually do during the Benghazi attack, and why weren't you more actively involved?
8. Last month, IRS officials testified to Congress that IRS Chief Counsel William J. Wilkins, whom you appointed, was directly involved in reviewing applications for non-profit status by Tea Party groups. He also met with you in April 2012, prior to issuing new "Be on the Lookout" (BOLO) criteria for evaluating such applications. What was your personal knowledge of the IRS scrutiny of conservative groups?

Better yet the media needs to stop calling them “Scandals”. These are serious crimes.
Yep.
Good questions at the link, particularly the bonus questions.
Bonus question: If you had a legitimately issued birth certificate, what would it look like?
The reporters can’t think of a thing to ask the President, everything in the world is just peachy keen right now.
It doesn’t matter what questions they ask. He’ll just give rambling 15 minute answers until everyone has forgotten the original question.
This just in: Washington D.C. Wal-Mart stores run out of softballs.
LOLOLOL.
"Eric Holder was involved in illegal gun running to Mexico, costing 2 border patrol agents and over 300 Mexican citizens their lives. He committed perjury before Congress over Fast & Furious. He raided Gibson Guitar because they're Republican donors and still hasn't returned all of their property. He illegally spied on Fox News before the election and AGAIN committed perjury before Congress. He repeatedly harasses and sues States for their Voter ID laws the SCOTUS has ruled constitutional. He is currently embroiled in a cover-up involving one of YOUR friends from Chicago, Sir. Holder has a long history of violating the law, lying to Congress and abusing the power of his office..
First, Do you support Eric Holder's actions, and if not, why haven't you fired him, Mr. President?"
Tough task to narrow it down to ten.
