A good, ol'-fashioned cherry picking...

quote:"What will you do as President to restore the Constitutional protections that have been subverted by the Bush Administration and how will you ensure that our system of checks and balances is renewed?"

Um, Obama thinks the Constitution is just another piece of paper.

quote:"What will you do to promote science and mathematics education to Elementary and Middle School students?"

Um, nothing, those , er, um disciplines require critical thinking. That is something that all good sheeple should avoid.

quote: "Will you appoint a Special Prosecutor - ideally Patrick Fitzgerald - to independently investigate the gravest crimes of the Bush Administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping?"

Um , er we are hoping that Fitzgerald continues to look at others and not Me.

I was hoping one of us could sneak a stink bomb past the moderators.  "When will you release your birth certificate?"   "What time on inauguration day are you going to remove the troops from iraq?"   "If hillary's judgment is so obviously flawed due to her vote on the iraq war, at what point did she stop being retarded enough that she became a good choice for SofS?  "Where are you going to put all of the poor victims of George Bush's subversive foreign policy after you close Gitmo"?

All great questions WE

Good ones, Wretch.

The DUmmies have had a few threads about this, and some of the suggestions are absolutely comical.

Here's one example, paraphrased, but certainly believable:

"When will you dismantle the Department of Defense and appoint Dennis Kucinich as Secretary of Peace?"

President-elect Barack Obama’s Transition today launched “Open for Questions,” a Digg-style feature allowing citizens to submit questions, and to vote on one another’s questions, bringing favored inquiries to the top of the list.

It was suggested when it launched that the tool would bring uncomfortable questions to the fore, but the results so far are the opposite: Obama’s supporters appear to be using — and abusing — a tool allowing them to “flag” questions as “inappropriate” to remove all questions mentioning Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich from the main pages of Obama’s website. . . . So far, Obama’s team does not seem to have stepped in to allow uncomfortable questions to rise to the top, and instead is allowing his supporters to sanitize the site.

Really?  I'm shocked.

Be Gentle :-) :rotf: :uhsure:

The new fuhrer isn't even the President elect.  He is the PRESUMPTIVE President Elect.  And since there is NO SUCH THING as "The Office Of the President Elect" in any formal document anywhere in the USC or in 232 years of laws and rules passed.

Really?  I'm shocked.

LOL!  the politico picked up on it?

This is the top question:

Currently in the lead:
"Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?"
