Questions for Obama

If you were able to interview Obama on national TV, what questions would you like to ask him? Keep in mind, this would be with the idea of reaching a broad media platform and trying to change minds.

If you can post ASAP, would appreciate.

I personally think that his stance on “not taking money from lobbyists” is a good one to ask him about. It’s a misleading claim, and a perfect example of the type of hypocrisy that I view as standard practice for the Obama campaign.

WKJM Indeed

Josh Marshall, what the frack? He’s spreading this nonsensical meme that the gas tax holiday won’t lower gas prices AT ALL. And furthermore, he’s claiming that virtually all economists agree on this.

This, despite the experience of Indiana and Illinois, which saw at least a 60% decline in gas prices per dollar of tax cut.

Now you can argue about the efficacy of the policy, but to spread misinformation and lies is a bit ridiculous, no? TPM is basically now a haven for people who took Econ 101, barely understood it, and then stopped taking Econ because it was “too hard”.

The email I sent to WKJM, which should have authoritatively ended his nonsense, but apparently hasn’t.
