I’d ask Obama a series of questions:

1. Mr President, how are you doing? / Obama: I’m doing fine, thanks for asking.

2. Mr President, how’s the country doing? Obama: It’s doing fine.

3. No, Mr Presidnet, I want to know how the country really doing? Obama: Well, we inherited a big mess from Bush, and it’s going to take time to get the country back on track.

4. Mr President, a leader identifies the problems, and goes about solving those problems, and passing blame is an indication of somebody who is completely unequipped and incompetent to be a leader. So, when will you start leading and creating real solutions?

Questions. No one asks the right questions. I like yours, but I have a few more. You inherited this mess from Bush? Specifically, what is it that he did that caused the mess? Tax cuts? You extended them, claiming that higher taxes hurt the economy. (As we get closer to the election, you did call for higher taxes to close the deficit you created, but it really looks like pandering to your leftist base to me). Or was it our two wars? The two wars that you have parlayed into THREE wars? Or perhaps it was Wall Street greed? Yeah, there has never been greed on Wall Street before George W. Bush was president.

The main streamers never ask him to be specific. They just accept his words as gospel.
