not that they are RIGHT to ask the question.
Fascinating. 0bama-like even. Please educate me on how this "nuanced" observation is not contradictory.
The American people have a right to ask their leaders for information.
But the questions they ask might not be the “right” questions.
I could ask Obama is he is born in Hawaii.
But if I were convinced he was born there, and had a chance to ask him a question, that would be the wrong question for me to ask.
Getting into more of an area of opinion, most of us would agree that the press had the right (freedom of the press) to ask Bush about whether he did crack 20 years ago. But some people thought the press was WRONG (improper) to ask those questions.
Trying to wrap around it with an analogy here — but don’t you sometimes find yourself saying “Sure, you have a RIGHT to ask that question, but why would you, it’s offensive, or it’s insulting, or it’s inconsequential”.
As to what Sarah meant by that, I can only guess.
