Unless we do something now, the mainstream media is going to throw the election to Barack Obama. I need your help to promote a very effective plan that will show that Obama isn't qualified. The plan will also help reveal media bias and show that the media has not done its job.

Under the plan, regular people will ask Obama tough questions about his policies and his lies on video and then upload his responses to Youtube and other video sharing sites. A good question that gets a "good" response will show hundreds of thousands or even millions of people that Obama is not qualified to be president. A very favorable response would probably be linked to by Drudge and featured on TV and would have a devastating impact on his chances.

Please bear in mind that Obama has rarely been pressed on his policies and his lies, and on the few occasions when he was pressed on something he didn't respond too very well. If someone asks him a really tough question, there's no telling how he'll respond.

Note that I'm only talking about honorable questions about his lies, his misleading and incomplete statements, his documented associations with radicals, and the incredibly obvious flaws in his policies. I'm not talking about smear or personal questions. And, I only want the questions to be asked in a polite but forceful manner, and only at designated Q&A sessions or whenever else it's appropriate.

Based on almost two years' experience trying to push this plan without luck, I know it's going to be difficult to get people to ask real questions. I've posted dozens of posts urging people to ask questions, I've posted dozens of comments on this topic at other sites, I've come up with several tough questions, and I've even offered money to anyone who'd ask one of those questions. No one took me up on the offer.

Some might argue, in good faith or not, that Obama doesn't take questions. In fact he has and there will probably be many opportunities during this month. Some won't think that the plan would be effective. We'll never know until it happens, but I have yet to see Obama really pressed on something, and it's possible to come up with questions that will make him look bad and that leave little room for him to deliver a stock speech. And, some people might even be worried about being tased or beaten up by his supporters. There's only a very minor possibility of that happening, provided that people ask legitimate questions in a legitimate fashion. But, if it does happen, it would be news in itself and would make the Obama campaign or its supporters look almost as bad as asking a real question would.

I am absolutely positive that this plan will work if the questions are good enough, and I ask you to come up with very tough questions in your fields of expertise and then urge your visitors to go ask them.

It is vitally important that the questions are succinct, are easy to understand for those who aren't familiar with the topic, that they try to solicit information not already discussed, and that they're designed to anticipate the answer that Obama would provide.

Too many questions - such as those submitted to the CNN/Youtube debate - are general in nature and act as little more than an opportunity for a candidate to replay a stock speech. The questions must go beyond that and must be designed in recognition of positions already taken and statements already made. The questions must ask about specific failings, lies, or misleading or incomplete statements. And, they must give Obama a choice between either directly answering the question or clearly avoiding answering the question. And, of course, to avoid any doubt about the validity of the questions they must be fully sourced.

The topic that I mainly cover is immigration, and a few questions I have for Obama are here. Another is here, and this question applies to Obama as well. Countless other questions can be fashioned by searching through the coverage of Obama at my site.

I am willing to help edit questions for maximum effectiveness or help in any other way with this effort.

If we don't do something now, Obama is going to be president in the new year. I think avoiding that is worth a few hours spent waiting to ask a question.

Please develop very tough questions for Obama and then urge your visitors to go ask them.

Why would Obama agree to respond to these questions? If he just ignores the effort he won’t get into any trouble because of it.

That's good.

They also need to tell the whole story of Barack Obama's closest and most developmental "comrades."

Download Interview of James Simpson by Sandy Rios - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL
From http://www.culturecampaign.com/culturecorner.aspx

James Simpson is the former White House economist who has just published "Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis" on AmericanThinker.com.

Simpson lays out the positioning of Barack Obama relative to the neo-Marxist plans of Saul Alinsky and Obama's implied relationship to the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" of generating national, financial crises, in order to turn the nation toward ever stricter socialism.

He also connects the dots of what this has to do with the "community organizers" of ACORN and Marxist power players, Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, etc. Simpson documents his research in his article using Web links and provides a rough flow chart.

At this point, I have not determined whether a recording of the interview will be available. Please do what you can truly do with this information, so McCain-Palin goes to the White House, not the Marxist Messiah.

If you ask BHO a question and he walks away, runs off the stage crying, or asks, "how about that weather?" I'd say that would make a pretty good video.

This post is about asking BHO questions to his face on video, not emailing him questions or similar.

(the Obama plan)

Both Michelle and Barack have promoted organizing communities, children in particular. Obama wants to take your hard earned money through taxes and give it to those who didn't earn it nor deserve it.

Try this and pass on:(Obama's Three "A"s; Ayers,Alinsky, ACORN)

Folks Obama is dirty, he is a Marxist and he does not like Capitalism, he wants Socialism and he is going to tax the holy heck out of the Americans who pay federal taxes till he reduces the country to workers and dependents but all depending on the government for succor. Obama is being handled and marketed by experts and the MSM is in bed with all. America is being bludgeoned to vote for this empty man mainly because of his race. What on earth has he ever done other than to organize people and like Jackson's Rainbow Coalition, strong arm banks etc. into loaning money on bad risks because of the color of your skin.

There’s nothing that can be done about that now, so let me suggest concentrating on defeating BHO. The plan above will work, but people have to actually do something. If no one here is willing to ask BHO a question that could greatly reduce his chance, then at the very least send emails to the bloggers listed above and suggest they get behind this plan.
