Honest opinions only please! Serious questions to serious issues Obama will face or likely to face as a potential President.

Scenarios:

1. Iran special op troops sneak into Israel and take hostage 500 Israeli citizens to place as human shields at its military installations. How does Obama handle this?

2. Obama implements tax increases on the $250,000 threshold as advertised, only that percentage of income earners drops by 75% due to the economic woes. How will he handle this? Print money driving more inflation? Back off his promised programs?

3. We are attacked on the scale of 9-11 by Pakistan militant terrorists. What does he do?

4. It is discovered at the same time and confirmed 100% Iran and N. Korea will have a long range tactical nuke missle capable of reaching Europe or even the Eastern US in under 6 months. What is his move here?

5. His tax increases fail to stimulate the economy. Unemployment slips into double digits as well as double digit inflation. Muni bonds begin failing and a recession is quickly showing signs of a depression. What economic moves would Obama make? Keep taxes high? Or reduce them as Bush did?

6. Iran, N. Korea would like Obama to fly over and have coffee and tea, perhaps some pastries to. Would like to talk about making a deal with the US. Conditions, or he just hops on a plane and goes for a visit like a long lost old buddy?

7. He is in the oval office, alone, a young twenty-something intern, absolute beauty wants to get on her knees. He assumes nobody will ever know. Does he go for it, or turn it down? A character question.

8. His then teen daughter gets pregnant, he encourages her to have the baby, or abort it?

9. Assuming Democrats control the house and have the presidency, will Obama still take input from Republicans on major issues, or simply snub them all?

Interesting read this weekend...
Obama will support a law that will suspend medical doctors from delivering babies if they refuse to also perform abortions.
Sounds like a bad idea.

Don't think so.
Abortions are done on everyone.

Serious questions, puleeeze!


Scenarios:

1. Iran special op troops sneak into Israel and take hostage 500 Israeli citizens to place as human shields at its military installations. How does Obama handle this?


More important question is how does Israel handle it? But while we are at inventing wild and highly implausible scenarios (slipping into a country and whisking away with 500 citizens) why don't we ask, what would Obama due if the Empires Death Star showed up in the outer atmosphere?

2. Obama implements tax increases on the $250,000 threshold as advertised, only that percentage of income earners drops by 75% due to the economic woes. How will he handle this? Print money driving more inflation? Back off his promised programs?


This one is ways since you've already answered the question.

3. We are attacked on the scale of 9-11 by Pakistan militant terrorists. What does he do?

I don't know what he would do, but I know that he wouldn't invade East Ossetia and proclaim us all Georgians.
