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?

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?

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.

5. Mr President
Edited on Tue Feb-15-11 10:46 AM by Possumpoint
When are you going to grow the stones to make meaningful cuts across the board that will really help solve the loaming financial crisis?

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.

11. Mr President, just a simple question...........
In all this "shared sacrifice" in all this "austerity" talk, where is the sacrifice for the wealthy?

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.

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 :)

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?"
