Would you honestly expect an honest answer on that from him? Look at his past remarks on campaign financing alone. Or look how fast he broke his promise on hiring lobbysts. Great question actually, but you won't get a truthful answer.

I do not expect a straight answer from any politician on anything.

But I think that everybody should ask every candidate running for any office at least that one question.

It would be interesting to listen to how they respond.

Ok, but if we are going to listen to speeches, ask these questions, they should be taken to task when they lie or distort the truth.

Less than 1% of "friends" have signed up.

Do you have to be a "friend" to ask a question?

That would be giving way too much info to obama.

I wouldn't ask anything that might embarass him unless I had a fake profile and I was connected via an anonymous public wi-fi hotspot and spoofed my MAC address.

That's right. Any question that challenges his propaganda or embarrasses him (not likely to get asked in the first place), you know his sycophantic supporters and media (same thing) would be on that person like fly on dung, trying to dig up all kinds of personal information for their attack.

Palo Alto Online : President Obama coming to Facebook April 20

Just wanted to know what questions you want to see Obama answer. Feel free to post.

I bet the Facebook executives will be picking some tough questions for him. Do you think they will give him the questions before hand so he has time to prepare his response?
He'll answer SOME questions that are pre-approved. He won't answer MY questions.

This is obviously part of his campaign push. I wander if Obama has visited Facebook in hopes of obtaining favorable consideration from the LARGEST SOCIAL NETWORK in the world. I wander.

I wander what Facebook executives expect in return ?

Glad to know he is focused on the economy and country. I am sure the whole Facebook visit was a job creation meeting....
