I asked members of the Cotillion earlier this week, what questions they would like to ask Senators John McCain and Barack Obama about national security/foreign policy issues for tonight's debate in Oxford, MS.
Here are a few of their responses:
SeeJaneMom: Senator Obama, given the *emperical fact* that we have been pumping domestic oil at a decreasing rate since 1972, (some call this peak oil), how do you plan to address* material* military readiness in your administration without increasing domestic oil production?
Conservative Belle: For Senator Obama: After hearing the hateful remarks from Iran's president at the U.N. this week, how would you approach future dialog with him if you were president?
For Senator McCain: What would be the first three measures you would take as president to deal with illegal immigration?
For both senators: When will it become a priority to capture and convict the terrorists who plotted the attacks on the USS Cole in October 2000? What kind of actions will you take with the Yemeni president to assure his country's cooperation in the investigation and prosecution?
Beth from YeahRightWhatever: To both candidates -In light of recent events concerning Russia, how would you protect us and our allies from an expansionist Putin government? If Russia invades a neighbor (with or without a request from a separatist group), how would you respond?
Hugo Chavez has openly admitted that he is a communist. How will you respond if the relationship between his country, which is rapidly transforming into a socialist state, and Russia continues to blossom?
How will you encourage the development of democracy and pro-democracy groups in countries such as Cuba, China, North Korea, and Iran?
Here's one from my kids- if Iran developed nuclear weapons, what would you do?
NiceDeb: For Senator Obama - Once and for all....Was your political career launched in William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn's living room, or was it not?
You were the chairman of the Annenberg Project from 1995-1999. Did you work with Mr. Ayers on any of the projects during that time? Why, after spending 100 million dollars, did test scores in Illinois not improve? You also sat with Mr. Ayers on the Woods Fund board. Given all of that, doesn't it strain credulity to say that he is just a guy from your neighborhood?
Inquiring minds want to know.
PS: We all know how old you were when he did those "despicable things" in the 60's. We also know, he's unrepentant, is still a radical and by his own admission a "small c communist).
What would you ask the candidates about national security or foreign policy issues?
