Question Time

Wow. You guys submitted a load of really good questions to ask Big Guy and me today at 11:30. To watch this "Online Townhall" you can go here.

As with every Obama Townhall, I am set up and ready to go to work. Pete Souza, the White House nerd in charge of stuff like this, tells me that more than 100, 000 questions were submitted.

Pete is loading the answers in me right now, and I have to tell you, they are great answers, because unlike the real town halls, Big Guy doesn't have to make the effort of walking, talking and reading at the same time. So the answers are long, convoluted and filled with arcana that really highlight the depth of Big Boy's knowledge of just about anything.

I know that many of the questions you submitted won't be answered, so feel free to submit some here. And I will also try to answer those questions that didn't get a lot of votes on the White House website.

  1. POTUS, When will you release your college transcripts, your medical records, and (what the heck) your original birth certificate?

  2. We can begin with "Does BO's TelePromTer have a valid birth certificate?"

  3. "Mr. President, you recently excoriated former president Bush for his spending policies, specifically naming the Medicare Prescription Benefit as an example of his reckless social spending.

    ... Mr. President, can you assure us that if you had been a Senator at the time, you would have voted against the Medicare Prescription Benefit act?

    ... And Mr. President, will you now work to revoke the Medicare Prescription Benefit act in the name of fiscal responsibility and entitlement control?"

  4. Mr. President, who does your hair? It's awesome!

    Also, may I have permission to date TOTUS?

  5. How about this question...
    Honorable POTUS, do you feel a moral obligation to give back campaign contributions from AIG or is this ethical question above your pay grade?

  6. Mr. President,
    We are all aware of your close relationship with TOTUS.
    How does Michelle feel about that relationship?
    Does she feel slighted at all that you spend more time with TOTUS than you do with her?
    And in the spirit of being fair, which your administration has based their values on, do you plan on getting her a comparable "friend?"
    Maybe TOTUS and her companion could share a room in the white house, maybe even the Lincoln bedroom.

  7. TOTUS - do you know if Big Boy has any plans to make an appearance on Dancing with the Stars? He and Toes would make a great couple.

  8. Mr. President,

    Now that Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska has voiced no objection to whoever gets credit for her gasline,

    will you take credit for her gasline?

  11. Is it true that the Big Boy's favorite charity is the families of the unknown soldiers????

  12. "Big Guy doesn't have to make the effort of walking, talking and reading at the same time."

    Shouldn't that read "...walking, talking and thinking..."? Oh, wait. No. Then Big Boy wouldn't need you.

  13. That was a brilliant idea the Big O had to have government controlled thermostats and meters installed in everyone home. It is a great way to fight global warming!

  14. To Christopher Drew, was that a joke? John Galt is a character in Ayn Rand's book, "Atlat Shrugged". Check it out, very great reading! VN8

  15. Mr. President, you are always talking about fairness, now about enecting the FairTax..?

  16. "Folks" "I've held townhalls around the country".....Nice touch TOTUS, stealing lines from John McCain! I'm sure the sheeples think it's new and brilliant stuff!

  17. I just finished reading an article in Xinhua and a Chinese Treasury official speculates that you're nothing more than a "A well placed tool of the US Government's Affirmitive Action policies." I find this offensive, considering your screen tone. What do you think?

  18. I'm on an honorary degree committee at my college, may we nominate you (but not Slim Shady) as a commencement speaker?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Mr. BO: Are you looking forward to having grandchildren someday or will you consider them a punishment?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I know I missed the show, Dear Leader, but I'll submit this question for the next town hall or similar event scheduled to get you out of the Oval for several hours. Have you made any mistakes since becoming POTUS?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Mr. President,

    Have you read Ron Paul's book, The Revolution: A Manifesto? If so, do you think the sanity articulated by Congressman Paul in the book could perhaps be implemented in the United States under your "leadership"?

    Or maybe since I'm asking about implementing policies, and implying a role of leadership, perhaps I should be asking you TOTUS . . . or maybe Toes?
