If you were in the White House pool today, what would you ask the President?

[cali]

[redwitch]

1. Mr. President, can I borrow some money?

Not makin' it here.

[leveymg]

2. Mr. President, why are you calling this press conference, today, on such short notice?

Anyone have an inkling about what he intends to talk about?

[Horse with no Name]

3. Why he is attempting to shoulder the responsibility

for the economic crisis we are in on the people who had absolutely nothing to do with it and giving breaks to the people that caused it?

[blm]

4. Can you hand me a towel?

Actually, I would ask him why he hasn't reopened the books on BCCI so the people of this country can see for themselves how a corrupt government with a fascist agenda brought about most of the global tragedies we've been living through the last 20 years.

[Possumpoint]

5. Mr President

When are you going to grow the stones to make meaningful cuts across the board that will really help solve the loaming financial crisis?

[LiberalEsto]

6. Why do you hate Democrats?

And the middle class?

[Buzz Clik]

7. Mr. President, why is it that some people on both sides of the aisle...

... refuse to acknowledge your accomplishments?

[here_is_to_hope]

14. Was this for the lulz? Cuz I am laughing!

Sure, lots of accomplishments.
Right.
Every thing went better than expected.
Somewhere...

[closeupready]

8. How can you in good conscience agree to extend tax cuts on the rich while cutting heat assistance

to the poor?

[Wilms]

9. I want to know the impact that Pell Grant and heating assistance reductions will have on HIS family.

Actually, I know the answer. I just want to see him asked.

:shrug:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. Eating well? Staying warm? Kids getting a good education? No worries?

That's nice.

[socialist_n_TN]

11. Mr President, just a simple question...........

In all this "shared sacrifice" in all this "austerity" talk, where is the sacrifice for the wealthy?

[mmonk]

12. Has he started sending resumes out yet.

No matter what he says, the battle was lost with the income tax extensions. He'll never get his budget through no matter how conservative.

[kentauros]

13. Mr. President, end the wars, and spend that money at home on us, except

for 1/10th of one percent spent on the war in Afghanistan. Give those few hundreds of millions to Greg Mortenson's https://www.ikat.org/">Central Asia Institute. That's how you bring peace to that area, by building schools for girls :)

[Johonny]

17. How's that whole Gitmo closing thing workin out

been 2+ years...

[XanaDUer]

19. "Why is Wall Street, which is doing very well, not freeing up

capital to help Main street?"

and

"Mr. President, why do the poor, working, and middle classes have to suffer when they were not responsible for the financial meltdown? Can you guarantee you'll fight for the expiration of the Bush tax cuts?"

[LongTomH]

20. How about "Who are you?

"......and what have you done with the man I voted for?"

[RedCloud]

21. Why is throwing money at the rich still going on?

[PBS Poll-435]

22. Why is Congress continuing to screw us? nt

[Lyric]

23. Brother, can you spare a dime?
