Tough Questions for Obama
Most of the interviews with candidate Obama so far have been of the softball variety. If I had the chance to interview good old Barry, I would ask him the following:
- Do you think it is possible to win the war on terror?
- Do you believe that evil exists? If so, what should be done about it?
- Can you make the distinction between free-trade and fair trade? How do you draw the line?
- Given your past association with Palestinian activists, how do you think you can be credible with the government and people of Israel when negotiating a peace settlement?
- Did you ever consider serving in the US military service? If so, which one? If not, do you ever regret your decision to not serve in the military?
- Do you feel your lack of military experience will in any way hamper your performance as commander-in-chief?
- What are the biggest contributors to American prosperity? What would you do as President to maintain America’s high standard of living?
- If you were faced with the prospect of signing a Global warming agreement that would damage America’s economy in the short-run, would you do so, or risk international disapproval by not signing it?
- What roles should government play in the lives of the people?
- Given your past ties to a black-supremacist church, do you feel you can help heel the Nation’s racial divisions?
- Given your recent denials of your Islamic heritage, how do you think you will be perceived in the Muslim world?
- How would you manage the US relationship with Saudi Arabia?
- If you could live in any country besides the United States, which one would you chose and why?
- In the past you have suggested that Wal-Mart should change its business practices? What would you tell some of the 100 million Wal Mart customers and 1 million+ employees in this country?
- Given that your church of 20 years was highly influenced by Liberation Theology, which in turn was based partly on Marxist principles, what criticisms do you personally have regarding America’s system of corporate capitalism and free markets?

All your questions are good ones and I don’t believe any of them have been asked, and probably won’t be. This may seem like a small thing, but I would ask him to show me his certificate of baptism. Without a doubt, he was born of a muslim father and also had a muslim step-father. In my estimation, if he has not been baptised, he would still be a muslim. And if he has actually been baptized and accepted the Christian religion, wouldn’t he be considered apostate and be in serious trouble in the muslim world?
