It’s definitely time for a pre-election pick-me up, so how about a little red meat in the form of a few questions John McCain could ask Barack Obama before he is crowned President of the World on Tuesday?
I’ll say that if any of our national media outlets had asked these questions in more than apologetic, mealy-mouthed tones, a column like this wouldn’t be necessary. But that’s as unlikely to happen as Obama’s ridiculous promises to pay for everyone’s college educations, health care, tax cuts, tax credits, gasoline bills, mortgages, increased military presence in Afghanistan, Global Poverty Initiative, and all the kickbacks he’s going to have to give to his well-heeled donors and political allies like ACORN. Might as well wish for a pretty, pretty pony.
Here’s an excerpt.
– You have sought to make an issue of my supposedly voting with President Bush 90 percent of the time, hoping to link me to a president whose popularity rating is under 30 percent. But isn’t it also true that you have voted 95 percent of the time with a Democratic Congress whose popularity rating is even lower than Mr. Bush’s, in some polls as low as 9 percent. So isn’t that 90 percent thing a red herring?
– During the Democratic primaries, you refused to participate in a debate on the Fox News Channel, supposedly because the network isn’t “fair and balanced,” even though the event was to be co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus. If you are unable to stand up to Brit Hume and Chris Wallace, why should we believe that as president you would be able to stand up to Vladimir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il or Hugo Chavez?
