Subject: 15 Questions The Mainstream Media Would Ask Barack Obama If
He Were A Republican]
< Regardless of your political persuasion
(promise!), please give this article a fair read. Then, if you still disagree
with the premise, fine. I appreciate you doing so (reading it). And then voting
according to your own conscience. But, as for me, I still firmly believe this is
absolutely undeniable. >15 Questions The Mainstream Media Would Ask Barack
Obama If He Were A Republican
The only thing they don’t ask Republican
candidates about much is economic questions and debt questions. Instead they ask
horribly slanted, often irrelevant questions designed to make them look bad and
help Obama. We’ve heard questions about contraceptives, religion, Newt’s angry
ex-wife, Cain’s employees, Romney’s personal wealth, Gardasil, etc. Newt’s rise
was because of the way he attacked the media and Obama in the debates because of
the stupid and obviously planted questions.
So, what would happen if the mainstream media
treated Barack Obama the exact same way they treat Republicans? The questions
might sound a little something like this.
1) Numerous Mexican citizens and an American
citizen have been murdered with weapons knowingly provided to criminals by our
own government during Operation Fast and Furious. If Eric Holder was aware that
was going on, do you think he should step down as Attorney General? Were you
aware of Fast and Furious and if so, shouldn’t you resign?
2) In 2010 you said Solyndra, a company that
donated heavily to your political campaign, was “leading the way toward a
brighter and more prosperous future.” Today, Solyndra is bankrupt and the
taxpayers lost over $500 million on loans that your administration knew might
never be paid off when you made them. How do you respond to citizens who say
this is evidence of corruption in your administration?
3) Unions invested a lot of time and money in
helping to get you elected. In return, unions gained majority control of
Chrysler, the taxpayers lost $14 billion dollars on General Motors, and General
Motors received a special $45 billion dollar tax break. What do you say to
people who view this as corruption on a scale never before seen in American
history?
4) Through dubious means you and your Democrat
allies in Congress managed to force through an incredibly unpopular health care
bill that helped lead to the worst election night for the Democrat Party in 50
years. Since the bill has passed, many of your claims about the bill have proven
to be untrue. For example, we now know the bill won’t lower health care costs
and despite your assurances to the contrary, big companies like McDonald’s say
they may drop health care because of the health care reform. Congress has
exempted themselves from the health care reform and instead has their own
taxpayer-funded premium health care plan. Many large companies (that donate to
Democrat political campaigns) have received special exemptions from the health
care plan. Since the majority of the American people have rejected your health
care reform and it doesn’t do what you said it would, shouldn’t you work with
the Republicans to repeal it?
5) When you took office, the national average
for one gallon of gas was $1.89 per gallon. Since then, you’ve demonized the oil
industry, dramatically slowed offshore drilling, blocked ANWAR, and rejected the
Keystone Pipeline. Now, gas is $3.54 per gallon and rising and is expected to
reach $5 per gallon by May of this year. How much higher do you anticipate
driving gas prices?
6) Occupy Wall Street has been protesting
against Wall Street and the richest 1 percent in America. You are in the top 1
percent of income earners in America and you have collected more cash from Wall
Street than any other President in history. So, aren’t you exactly the sort of
politician that Occupy Wall Street wants to get rid of?
7) How do you decide which foreign leaders to
submissively bow towards and why do you think that’s appropriate for an American
President?
8) If they could, don’t you think the Nobel
Committee would take back the Nobel Peace Prize that you were awarded after
serving just one month in office?
9) You made bipartisanship one of the central
themes of your campaign in 2008. Yet, you’ve worked to push bills through
Congress with almost no Republican support, spent much less time negotiating
with Congress than George Bush did, and you’ve said things like, “But, I don’t
want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get
out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them,
but don’t do a lot of talking.” Why did you decide to break your campaign
promise to pursue bipartisanship?
10) America lost its AAA credit rating for the
first time under your watch. What do you think you should have done differently
to have prevented that historic failure?
11) You cut more than 500 billion dollars out
of Medicare to fund your wildly unpopular health care reform bill. Given that
Medicare is running in the red already, don’t you think it’s irresponsible to
cut money out of one entitlement program, that millions of seniors depend on —
to put it into a risky new entitlement program?
12) Back in July, you said, “Nobody’s looking
to raise taxes right now. We’re talking about potentially 2013 and the out
years.” Since you plan to raise taxes if you’re elected and you’ve had kind
words for a value added tax, shouldn’t every American expect a tax increase if
you’re reelected?
13) Why should the American people reelect you
when your 10 year budget saddles America with more debt than all previous
Presidents combined?
14) Your stimulus bill cost more in real
dollars than the moon landing and the interstate highway system combined. Many
prominent economists have concluded the stimulus plan was a total failure. What
do we have to show for all of that money spent?
15) Members of your administration promised
that the trillion dollar stimulus would keep unemployment under 8 percent.
Instead, we’ve had 35+ months of 8% and above unemployment. Doesn’t that mean we
wasted a trillion dollars on nothing?
