   Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama have blamed the current economic crisis on McCain and Republican Deregulation policies, and 8 years of Bush Policies.

   Do the Democrats in Congress and the Senate bear ANY responsibility for this crisis?

   Wasn’t this crisis precipitated by the failure of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac which John McCain did try to regulate and the Democrats such as Barney Frank, Chris Dodd , and yourself blocked saying there was no problem?

   Wasn’t it disingenuous of you to suggest that deregulation of corporations urged by general Republican policy was the catalyst of this current crisis when the problem was Democrats refusing to regulate Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac when Republicans asked for it?

   Has the former Freddie Mac top guy Franklin Raines who made millions from the now failed Freddie Mac, advised your campaign in any way official or unoffical?

   Is it in any way possible that the push by groups like Acorn and Democrats in Congress to force Banks to alter their lending practices and have quasi federal agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back housing loans to minorities and other people who could not really afford them is a cause of the current economic crisis?

   Has your campaign ever given money to ACORN for any reason?

   Have you spoken out forcefully about voter fraud in this campaign or taken definitive action to stop it such as personnaly asking the Ohio Secretary of State to validate all votes as legitimate?

   How is it possible that you could sit in Rev Wrights church for 20 years and not get the impression that he is a Black Liberation Theologist who thinks America is a bad country that still oppresses blacks and demands that Black be given something now such as reparations, jobs, power, etc to get them back to equal standing with whites in this country?

   Rev Wrights act looked very polished like he had given it many many times before. How can you say in all honesty that you never heard these views that most Americans despise and didn’t know he had them?

   Do you agree with Bill Ayers views on education reform in this country?

   Would you have education policy that includes the views that Bill Ayers espouses on education such as political activism being part of the education process?

   You are tied in various ways to the Chicago education reform establishment that Bill Ayers is a huge part of. Has Bill Ayers had any influence on how your views on education were shaped?

   Do you think that White people in this country owe Black people?

   You have repeated talked about the evil Corporations in this country specifically citing Exxon Mobil. These statements are potentially damaging to companies like Exxon Mobil in the global marketplace. Do you realize how many Americans Exxon Mobil employs and how many Americans are invested in these companies through mutual funds, 401k & pensions? Do you think that is irresponsible for you to make those kind of statements?

   If the big evil corporations that you criticise so often were put out of business, how many jobs would be lost and how would you replace those jobs?

   If all these big corporation jobs were replaced with government jobs therefore making the Government the biggest “Corporation”, Would you consider the lack of competition bad for America?

   yada yada yada.

    Recently you compared managing your CURRENT campaign (budget and staff size) to that of Governor Palin’s FORMER responsibilities as mayor of Wasilla, AK, to justify your experience for running for President of the United States. Why didn’t you compare her mayoral responsibilities with your former IL state senator’s job?

    Here’s my question

    You claim that you will implement a tax cut for workers making less than $250k and that this group won’t have their taxes raised. Does this include payroll taxes and if so does this mean you will veto any national health care, national retirement program, and wage insurance program the Dem Congress sends to your desk if they call for income or payroll tax increases on those that make less than $250k?
    Do you consider the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2010 a tax increase? If so then this is most definitely a tax increase on those making less than $250k. If not, what is it?

    In a sense, what brought me to Chicago in the first place was a hunger for some sort of meaning in my life. I wanted to be part of something larger. I’d been inspired by the civil rights movement – by all the clear-eyed, straight-backed, courageous young people who’d boarded buses and traveled down South to march and sit at lunch counters, and lay down their lives in some cases for freedom. I was too young to be involved in that movement, but I felt I could play a small part in the continuing battle for justice by helping rebuild some of Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods.

    Please explain what you did to help rebuild some of Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods.

    Tony Rezko received large sums of money with your help, but nothing was done to help Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods.

    What went wrong with your plan to “spread the wealth”?

    Were you involved in Rezko’s corruption?

    What role did Rezko play in helping you buy your house?

    It seems like the people in YOUR neighborhood did just fine, while the people in the poorest neighborhoods continued to suffer.

    Isn’t that the very corruption that you said led to “quiet RIOT”?

    Weren’t you part of the problem, not part of the solution?

    What were you doing in Chicago?
    Were you contributing to that “quiet RIOT”?

    If you don’t succeed in winning stealing the election, will you encourage that “quiet RIOT” to turn into full-fledged riots?

    Why did you, on March 27, 2004, tell Cathleen Falansi that you were raised by your Christian mother, yet you have told the rest of the world that your mother wasn’t really a Christian, that she considered all religions basically equal (in your book), and that your grandparents raised you?

    And if your grandparents–as in both of them–raised you, is that the same thing as being raised by a single mother?

    How is “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” different from you taking more money from the wealthy to give to the poor, or, as you have called it, “spreading the wealth around”?

    Can you ever admit when you are wrong?

    Where were you when Rev Wright said “God DAMN America!”?

    Will you be taking more money from Rev. Wright, since he’s now purchased a multi-million dollar home and giving it to the people on the street?

    Why do you not want voting booths to require a valid picture ID, yet you do want one at your party on November 4?

    If you’re–as you claim–for the “non-elite”, “regular” people, why are you charging so much money for people to attend your party on November 4?

    How is it any different for you to run the risk of getting shot while pumping gasoline than for me to run the risk of getting shot while pumping gasoline? Do you get your gasoline in worse areas than I do? Do you even pump your own gasoline?

    Why is Michelle so angry? Why does she hate white people so much? Why is she so ill-at-ease with herself if she’s in a room full of white people who probably don’t think a thing about the fact that she’s not white?

    So one Sunday, I put on one of the few clean jackets I had, and went over to Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street on the South Side of Chicago. And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright deliver a sermon called “The Audacity of Hope.” And during the course of that sermon, he introduced me to someone named Jesus Christ. I learned that my sins could be redeemed. I learned that those things I was too weak to accomplish myself, He would accomplish with me if I placed my trust in Him. And in time, I came to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death, but rather as an active, palpable agent in the world and in my own life.

    It was because of these newfound understandings that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity one day and affirm my Christian faith. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. I didn’t fall out in church, as folks sometimes do. The questions I had didn’t magically disappear. The skeptical bent of my mind didn’t suddenly vanish. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side, I felt I heard God’s spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth and carrying out His works.

    So that’s your testimony?
    Did you do the following?

    that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

    Romans 10:9

    If so, why can’t you confess the Lord Jesus now?
    Why can’t you say “Jesus is Lord“?
    Could it be that you aren’t saved?

    Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

    Zayd is an Arabic name meaning “one who progresses and makes other people progress.”

    Article 43. Citizens have the right to maintenance in old age, in sickness, and in the event of complete or partial disability or loss of the breadwinner.
    The right is guaranteed by social insurance of workers … by other forms of social security.

    Article 44. Citizens have the rights to housing.
    This right is ensured by the development and upkeep of state and socially-owned housing; by assistance for co-operative and individual house building; by fair distribution, under public control, of the housing that becomes available through fulfilment of the programme of building well-appointed dwellings, and by low rents and low charges for utility services.

    Article 45. Citizens have the right to education.
    This right is ensured by free provision of all forms of education, by the institution of universal, compulsory secondary education, and broad development of vocational, specialised secondary, and higher education, in which instruction is oriented toward practical activity and production; … by the free issue of school textbooks; by the opportunity to attend a school where teaching is in the native language; and by the provision of facilities for self-education.

    Article 49. Every citizen has the right to submit proposals to state bodies and public organisations for improving their activity, and to criticise shortcomings in their work.
    Officials are obliged, within established time-limits, to examine citizens’ proposals and requests, to reply to them, and to take appropriate action.
    Persecution for criticism is prohibited. Persons guilty of such persecution shall be called to account.[ask Joe the Plumber]

    Article 53. The family enjoys the protection of the state.
    Marriage is based on the free consent of the woman and the man; the spouses are completely equal in their family relations.
    The state helps the family by providing and developing a broad system of childcare institutions, by organising and improving communal services and public catering, by paying grants on the birth of a child, by providing children’s allowances and benefits for large families, and other forms of family allowances and assistance.

    Article 57. Respect for the individual and protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens are the duty of all state bodies, public organisations, and officials.
    Citizens have the right to protection by the courts against encroachments on their honour and reputation, [like Joe the Plumber]

    I edited this for emphasis and , of course, to obscure the fact that this it the Soviet Constitution. Much of what I cut out says these things are designed to advance the cause of socialism.

    So, Wolf, ask such a question!

    Mr Obama,

    I am Dan the deadbeat. How much money will you be giving me for my vote?

    What is your future plan for eliminating all evil rich white men?

    How much money will be left for me in the future once you take it from the evil rich oilmen and give most to the other countries in the world as reparations for our imperial behavior so they will love us again?

    Is it racist for a white reporter to ask a black candidate a challenging question? What if the candidate is white and the reporter is black?

    Do you acccept the CommunistPartyUSA endorsement of your candidacy? How are they correct in thinking that you will “move our nation forward with a broadly progressive agenda” ?

    Are they correct in saying that “Capitalism is fatally flawed”? If so, what would you replace it with?

    Sheech, what a wate of time, these questions won’t be asked before or after election day, the reprisal from the Obama cult would be swift and merciless.

    According to an FBI infiltrator at the time, the Weather Underground expected to have to eliminate, “meaning ‘to kill’ “, as many as 25million unrepentant capitalists who wouldn’t graduate from the re-education camps. Senator Obama, are today’s re-education methods more advanced,or does your campaign estimate the number to be about the same in 2009 ?

    Questions I’d like to ask The One:

    1. You support our current personal income tax system. By its very nature of being a progressive tax it is redistributionist which is socialist. Therefore, how can you deny you are a socialist?

    2. Your campaign expressed the view that our government has the duty to protect the private information of the American people and that it not be used for political purposes. Why have you not vehemently denounced the apparent unauthorized and inappropriate accessing of Samuel Joseph “Joe the plumber” Werzelbacher’s private information when the reports first surfaced?

    3. You have been proclaiming that you want to help “the folks” by giving them a tax cut. Why, then, has the figure of who will get a tax increase varied from $250K to $200K to $150K? Shouldn’t you already know what that figure needs to be to raise the needed revenues for your proposed spending increases?

    4. In a different vein of helping “the folks” through tax relief, why have you not proposed the replacement of the current personal AND business income taxes and all other payroll taxes with the revenue-neutral FairTax inclusive sales tax instead? Such a change in the tax system would provide all American people with 100% of their pay each payday as well as relieving them of the burden of having to prepare a tax return to get back their money withheld in excess of their tax burden and would remove an invasion of personal privacy that should be protected by the Constitution. (I’d like to ask McCain this one, as well.)

    5. Why have you not denounced efforts to silence anyone who might have a criticism of you and/or your policy positions?

    6. From the interview you gave to a Chicago radio station while you were a state senator, you appear to disagree with the Constitution and the principles of our founding fathers that were included within it. In particular, you seem to favor a system of equality of outcome that is in opposition to the system of equality of opportunity that our founding fathers set out in the Constitution. How can you justify such a position when it is the system of equality of opportunity that has led to this country becoming the greatest demonstration of how to achieve the highest standards of living for the most people that the world has ever seen?

    7. The lack of a Fairness Doctrine–removed over 25 years ago–appears to be a clear demonstration of the benefits of a free marketplace. Before its repeal, there were only about 100 radio stations engaged in talk. Since then, the number of radio stations programming talk is over 1000. The free marketplace has shown that people want to hear what is on talk radio today. Why, then, reenact the Fairness Doctrine when it is clear that it would only remove from the marketplace what people want to hear? The only possible reason would be to suppress freedom of speech in direct opposition to the right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
