15 Questions the Media Should (But Won't) Ask Barack Obama

* How do you decide which foreign leaders to submissively bow towards and why do you think that's appropriate for an American President?

* Through dubious means, you and your allies in Congress managed to push through an incredibly unpopular health care bill that helped lead to the worst election night for the Democratic 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 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. Since 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?

* Your stimulus bill cost more in real dollars than the moon landing and the interstate highway system combined. What do we have to show for all of that money spent?

* When you took office, gas was $1.79 per gallon. Since then, you've demonized the oil industry, dramatically slowed offshore drilling, blocked ANWR, and killed the Keystone Pipeline. Now, gas is $3.34 per gallon. How much higher do you anticipate driving gas prices?


These are just four of the questions in John Hawkin's terrific Town Hall column, "15 Questions The Mainstream Media Would Ask Barack Obama If He Were A Republican." Go read the others -- every one of which is a absolute doozy -- right here.
