1. You say John McCain is content to "watch [Americans'] home prices decline." So, government should prop up housing prices generally? How? Why? Were prices ideal before the bubble popped? How does a senator know ideal prices? Have you explained to young couples straining to buy their first house that declining prices are a misfortune?
2. Michelle Obama, who was born in 1964, says that most Americans' lives have "gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl." Since 1960, real per capita income has increased 143 percent, life expectancy has increased by seven years, infant mortality has declined 74 percent, deaths from heart disease have been halved, childhood leukemia has stopped being a death sentence, depression has become a treatable disease, air and water pollution have been drastically reduced, the number of women earning a bachelor's degree has more than doubled, the rate of homeownership has increased 10.2 percent, the size of the average American home has doubled, the percentage of homes with air conditioning has risen from 12 to 77, the portion of Americans who own shares of stock has quintupled … Has your wife perhaps missed some pertinent developments in this country that she calls "just downright mean"?
3. You favor raising the capital gains tax rate to "20 percent or 25 percent." You say this will not "distort" economic decision making. Your tax returns on your 2007 income of $4.2 million show that you and Michelle own few stocks. Are you sure you understand how investors make decisions?
4. You favor eliminating the cap on earnings subject to the 12.4 percent Social Security tax, which now covers only the first $102,000. A Chicago police officer married to a Chicago public-school teacher, each with 20 years on the job, have a household income of $147,501, so you would take another $5,642 from them. Are they undertaxed? Are they rich?
5. This November, electorates in four states will vote on essentially this language: "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting." Three states—California, Washington and Michigan—have enacted such language. You made a radio ad opposing the Michigan initiative. Why? Are those states' voters racists?
6. If a white minister preached sermons to his congregation and had used the "N" word and used rhetoric and words similar to members of the KKK, would you support a Democratic presidential candidate who decided to continue to be a member of that congregation?
7. Would you support that candidate if, after knowing of or hearing those sermons, he or she still appointed that minister to serve on his or her "Religious Advisory Committee" of his or her presidential campaign?
8. Why are Hamas, the Nation of Islam, Iranian government, Hugo Chavez, Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the PLO, the New Black Panther Party, Louis Farrkhan... all racist, anti-American groups endorsing you, Mr. Obama? Any idea why they like you so much??
For some more questions Obama will NEVER answer, thanks to his "media shield" (the media that protects this guy and praises his 24/7):
IMHO i really like #9. but at this point anybody, anybody that would give assurance of stopping the war (thereby preventing the USA from going broke) will get my vote.
immigration and gas can be fixed, but "broke" can't be fixed.

Excellent questions! Thanks for posting. A true shame these questions will remain unanswered and glossed over.
AS USUAL OBAMA and his little minions on here dodge the tough questions. They just don't have answers yet they want to change. They all want a change from Bush but many of them are not aware that Obama is a Socialist who wants to raise taxes and extend government programs to infringe on our lives.
Are they really willing to give up some of their freedoms for a smiling Socialist who wants to raise taxes, increase government spending and implement more intrusive government programs?
OBAMA..you are known by the friends you keep
1. Tutored by a Communist named Frank Davis in Hawaii
2. Friend and business partner with convicted Chicago thief and slumlord named Tony Rezko.
3. Friend of convicted terrorist bomber and socialist activist named Bill Ayers
4. Friend of Vulgar, racist-sexist, anti-American anti-Christian Rev. Jerimiah Wright
5. Aquaintance and possibly friend of Nation of Islam hate monger Louis Farrakhan
IMHO i really like #9. but at this point anybody, anybody that would give assurance of stopping the war (thereby preventing the USA from going broke) will get my vote.
immigration and gas can be fixed, but "broke" can't be fixed.
Surrendering will never stop the war on terror.
Excellent questions that you'll never see answered. I'd like to add one regarding his close contact with Tony Rezko and how Obama was able to get his home.

Why did you (Obama) say on national tv that you had desinvite the rev. when you annouced you would be running for the presidency when you still let him be there as it came out yesterday?
Yesterday the rev. told the public that he was there but he was praying with the Obama family before Obama went on stage, because the rev. is his spiritual mentor and pastor and above on stage Obama was being the politician.
So again Obama has something to explain!
Ok Obama supporters this has been here almost 24 hours. Why have you not responded? Can you answer the questions? Is it beyond your mental capability? Are you so intoxicated from the Obama Kool-Aide that you can't reason?
As my auntie used to say "you can tell a woman is embarassed when her slip is showing"
In that vein Obama supporters "your slip is showing"
Fix it by answering the questions or forever be an embarassment to yourselves and the party.
