Beltway Snark

Wolf Blitzer, in an effort to ask relevant questions, has posted this asking for question suggestions for his upcoming interview with Obama. Well, I’m glad you asked Wolf. Here are my suggestions, I would post them to Political Ticker but somehow I don’t think my response would make it past moderation:

1) When are you going to start talking about your actual plans for “change”. Vague promises didn’t work for Kerry, they ain’t going to work for you either.

2) Why didn’t you get out in front of the Wright issue the way you got out in front of your college drug use? Judging from the last two Presidents we’ve had, the general population doesn’t give a damn what drugs you did before the age of 40, but they sure do care about your association with crazies. And you can feel free to drop the whole “but I didn’t know” spiel.

3) What do you have to say about your relationship with Rezko? You’ve gotten a free pass thus far because Hillary can’t bring it up without a few (dozen) skeletons coming out of her closet, but you’d better believe either the RNC or a 527 will be all too happy to bring it up. Again, you can drop the whole “but I didn’t know” spiel. 

4) Yeah, I guess I want to know what you plan to do about Iraq, Iran, taxes, gas prices, the housing market, and the economy. You can get back to me on those after you read the day’s polls and figure out what demographic I’m in.
