The media protects politicians in America. Politicians dodge any question that could make them look bad. This is quite possibly the most ineffective media/government relationship that our country has ever experienced. The information provided by the main stream media is moving towards government propaganda and away from accountability in government. Below are some questions that I would like to be answered.
For Obama
1. One of your campaign promises that everyone agrees with is improving government transparency. You executed executive privilege to protect the Fast & Furious documents. There has been controversy surrounding your administration's response to Benghazi and the altered talking points. The IRS and now EPA are involved in scandals where they have lost crucial emails and text messages. Have you kept your promise of bringing transparency to government?
2. In 2012, you pulled out our troops from Iraq. Your administration -- yourself and Biden included -- boasted that this was a huge success and a "promise kept." With the threat of ISIS growing stronger every day, do you think this was a mistake? You have recently commented that the Iraqi leaders made us take our troops out of Iraq. This is quite different from the message of a "promise kept" as something that you accomplished. Was it your decision or their decision?
3. You successfully targeted and killed an American citizen via your drone strike program. Three other Americans have been confirmed killed, although they were not specifically targeted. You are a lawyer. The fifth amendment states that "no person... shall be deprived of life... without due process of law." How do you defend killing Americans citizens without trial?
4. We've heard countless times from your administration -- and you specifically -- that you find out about certain stories from the news reports. This includes (1) spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, (2) the V.A. waitlist scandal, (3) the IRS targeting scandal, (4) the DOJ obtaining phone records of the Associated Press, (5) and the Fast and Furious gun running tactics. Can you explain why/how you didn't know about any of these things?
For Harry Reid -- You are constantly complaining that the House is obstructing any policies from passing. You have over 350 bills sitting on your desk that the House passed. Over half of those passed unanimously and many were proposed by Democrats. What is different from your obstruction that makes it okay?
For Al Gore -- You have profited millions of dollars from your work around "global warming" or "climate change". Some would argue that your carbon footprint is many times greater than that of the average American due to your multiple homes, expensive cars, and frequent air travel. Are you taking any steps to reduce your own carbon footprint?
For Eric Holder
1. In 2 weeks, the documents detailing the Fast and Furious gun running scandal have been ordered by the courts to be released. Is there any correlation with the timing of your resignation as the Attorney General?
2. The position of Attorney General is intended to be a non-partisan one. Your responsibilities include enforcing federal laws, investigating violations of federal law, and providing advice/opinions to the President on legal matters. However, we have seen you injecting yourself into countless political battles. You've even implied that Republican opposition to yourself and the President is based on racism. Can you explain these statements?
Here are some of the best question dodges I've seen!
There are plenty more questions that I would love to have answered, but these are just the first that come to mind. What are some questions that you've heard politicians dodge?
