This thread is American recommended. If you could ask Obama any question, what will it be? Try to keep it appropriate, and please stay on-topic. You don't need to give a reason why you would ask Obama your question, but if you feel like it, you can do it. Try not to ask useless questions (like can you play my level), questions that are meant to be mean to others, or questions regarding the election. And remember, this is a thread for questions, not statements.

He said what would you ask your President/Majesty. not everyone has a president. some countries have Kings and queens that follow a certain Bloodline. such as. if america had a king. i'd be royalty because my Heritage extends to a man on the Mayflower. (Also my heritage extends to Edward rutledge. but i dont want to bring him up) anyway. i would probably ask President obama Why he didnt end the pointless war in afghanastan. i mean that war's entirety was about Osama bin laden and the terrorists. to give me a Life time supply of each toy on earth. and to know why Job rates are so low. I hate Obama -_- Hes gonna sit in his mansion and take vacations for another 4 years while his nation crumbles and burns. You know what he promised in his election. "I will BOOST job rates and LOWER gas prices!" and guess what. only 20% of america has jobs and a gallon is 4 dollars (around 2-3 pounds?).i personally voted Mitt romney. but ofc the majority of america is fat boasting bloody Idiots who probably just voted for him because hes our first black president. No offense.

Oh bugger, you do realize this thread is going to immediately fall to pieces? I'm not an American, though I do have an opinion on the matter. Obama deserves much credit for preventing America from imploding. Many Americans don't realize just how close they were to complete financial disaster. Banks had funnelled nearly all their customers money into investment scams which ultimately stole the money from their customers. It was sickening. Romney supported this, and has worked towards saving those orchestrating the whole event from criminal charges. Many Republicans don't realize that their party actively tries to pull money from the lowest 90%, and give to the top 10%. They vote based on the impression that there is an issue that they can only be saved from by Republicans. It's bad enough that I know more about American politics than most Americans. Romney blatently lies about many things he tells supporters, and even considers many Americans lazy scum (47% of them to be precise). Canada has laws against news agencies lying, and has stopped Republican talks from airing because they were untrue. If I could spare the time, I would be able to link many sites and articles which argue how and why things are in America, but unfortunately I don't. I'll leave it at this though, if Romney gains presidency, he will ruin America. Even though Obama isn't perfect, he's the best option right now. ~~~~~~~~~ Sorry, completely missed the point. If I were to ask him a question, it would be: How do you intend to deal with the economic scams perpetrated by the banking and investment firms of America? Also, why has their been nothing done against those that caused and allowed the recession to occur?

Here is my question for Obama: Do you believe in the separation of powers? Why I'm asking: I don't see Obama honor the separation of powers. He's doing executive actions without congressional approval and he once threatened impeachment against the supreme court justices if they throw out his Obamacare procedure. He's also thinks that the president should have absolute power.

Dear Obama, Why do you spend money like it's nobody's business?

How does it feel to be handed a second term on a platter? Be sure to vote Ayneh 4 prez, by the way. I will wear flamboyant uniforms and basically be British.

His insane spending, bailing out the unions that put GM in that horrible situation back in '09. And even worse, Obamacare, which is a nightmare. The extreme Democrats and Republicans are both awful. Democrats controlled the house the last two years of Bush's term, meaning they contributed to the mess. In short, this election is a vote between the lesser of two evils. Neither of which I like.

Canada has laws against news agencies lying, and has stopped Republican talks from airing because they were untrue. That's because Canada is a very liberal country. A lot of the 1st world countries are like that: Canada, UK, Australia, and the rest of Europe. They support the same ideologies Obama supports, and they have socialized medicine too. Of course liberals find Republicans lying, but whatever the Republicans talk about are debatable. So I don't think the Republicans are lying; Canada is very opinionated on liberal ideologies. @bigMoose_: Sounds independent.

I completely agree, but a vote for Romney is a vote against Obama, so that'd be one advantage for Romney. If you are looking for what other candidates had to say, I'd recommend searching about Ron Paul or Gary Johnson. Two people who got way less attention than they deserved.

My posts are going to be a little biased A lie is a lie is a lie. (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2012/08/29/mitt-romney-tells-533-lies-in-30-weeks-steve-benen-documents-them/) Just because he's republican doesn't make them true. Have you seen the recent Romney video speaking to his high-profile supporters? I suggest doing so. Also, Canada has a Conservative government right now... and the liberals aren't even the official opposition party. IIRC, even the major broadcasting companies are owned by conservatives. As for the 'bailout' being a bad move. You do realize America would have lost pretty much it's entire automotive industry, and instead been taken over by foreign manufacturers. And that's being selfish. Had the american auto industry failed, so too would have Canada's. This would have just continued to grow, as steel and parts manufacturers lost business and jobs. Even housing prices would have continued to fall (a very bad thing. Say you had a $500k home. It was expected to be $150-250k. You'd lose at least half your worth.), and stocks would have continued to plunge, driving an unknowable number of companies and individuals into bankruptcy. Then there's the foreign markets. Trade would have begun to dry up as Americans would no longer be the best customers. And stock trades plunged as well. (Australia was the only place unaffected I think) ~ Personally, I think your 'medicare/obamacare' system has been needed for a very long time. You probably don't realize, but previously, insurance companies pretty much ruled over the medical system. There were so many flaws that I'm surprised people haven't complained about it more. I'm guessing it's the impression that 'socialism is bad'. The difference between socialist and communist, let's be fair, most American's don't know. A little flawed in this regard. As the last country to adopt a governmental health system, you're missing out. .... and so on.... This is not to say Obama's perfect. He spends too much, and hasn't dealt with company presence in the white house. He's done a fair job internationally though. I fear what Romney would bring. His stance of effectively 'who cares, it's not America' is ludicrous. It's so ignorant it makes me weep for everyone who will die as a result. Romney's dug his own grave for this one though. Looking in from outside, he probably wasn't the best choice for nomination.

Looking in from outside, he probably wasn't the best choice for nomination. Big post, but I can shrink it by small response. You got the Obamacare name right; Medicare is an insurance program, but Obamacare likes Medicaid only. It works in several countries, but in a country where states have their own governments as certain issues are handled as state options (like the US), it doesn't work. It is the most costly thing ever in existance in America (definetely more expensive than a crumb of bread), as it once required all 50 states to expand their Medicaid programs. It also once planned fining everyone who doesn't have insurance by 2014 (which is considered "cruel and unusual punishment"). It's not even a state option. Thanks for reminding us of how greedy and selfish America is. This is their problem, not the rest of the world. They even borrowed a debt from China which never got paid back. Selfish Americans. Shall I get a political cartoon based on that? When you said that you are biased, I'm pretty biased too. Also (as mentioned on my most recent blog entry), I have a strong dislike for all who couldn't respect others based on their opinions (like pro-choicers hating pro-lifers for not supporting abortion as a choice). Most ultimately, if we keep talking about this rather than making this thread a "question for Obama thread", it will get locked (just like what you did to my Mm Pick restriction thread). So can we please get back on topic?

Romney was actually among the best choices the GOP had this time around, which is rather sad but not surprising when you consider they had the likes of Bachmann and Santorum running for the ticket. And in the end, he's the candidate they deserve because of the GOP's obcession with "anyone but Obama" they never stopped to think about getting a presidential candidate that was actually observably better then Obama. They kept feeding into this idea that Obama was the worst president in American history (he isn't, and there have been worse and from both sides of the political fence) and they never stopped to think that they could possibly choose worse in that regard and Romney, with his countless gaffes, lies, idiological inconsistancies, empty talking points and otherwise ill-advised comments is the result. I voted for Obama the first time not because I figured his policies were better then McCain (actually, I doubted that there would have been much difference between the two) but because I really didn't want Sarah Palin to be one heart attack from the oval office and because I was uncomfortable with the increasingly fundamentalist vibe the GOP had been adopting. Obama's first term has been far from perfect and I had no expectations that it would be, but since then it seems like the GOP had gotten even crazier and Romney seems to lack any sort of conviction that would indicate a willingness to reign them in and as such I have little reason to vote for him. As for what I would ask Obama, if he could arrange for the guaranteed death of any three people in the world and completely get away with it who would they be, and why? Morbid I know, but it would be telling of what direction he thinks the world is taking and what direction it should take.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone quote their own post in that very same post..... if that makes sense. I don't think this thread is a bad idea because people aren't interested, I think it's a bad idea because it's very likely that it will just turn into a battle between the Obama supporters and the Romney supporters. It's not what you want on an LBP forum really.

I only hate those who hate me, those who lost respect in Chick-fil-a in response to the CEO's opinions on same-sex marriage, and everybody who hates another for not having the same opinions (Pelosi is a prime example of this). But I don't hate people who don't support Romney. I know we don't want any forum wars on this site, but we already did so, but mostly for LBP-related stuff. Oh, and DominationMags didn't quote himself from the same post. He double-posted, so the text got merged. I don't know how this topic will last then, if you're right. I know politics isn't a good idea on forums on TV shows and video games, but it's a good idea on blogs.

Well, Romney is basically a freaking crazed fruit loop, so obviously, I'd stick with Obama for the lesser of two evils. But hey, if Ayneh is running, then by all means, I shall paste posters everywhere in the state of Arkansas and guarantee that the Razorbacks will suck much less dirt if they vote for Ayneh. Also, I'd ask for a a few hundred dollars and say that my life sucks and sob story sob story. He seems to have a bit with the way he spends and all~.

If you're going to argue about keeping an open mind and preventing off-topic discussion, I wouldn't go around thanking posts which are off-topic and scream bias (eg: first reply...). Bias is fine, as long as you identify it. Anyway, where did I offend "you"? Everything in my post was just impressions I had gotten from looking over American politics for the last few months. Your replies seem to indicate a particular dislike for myself. "I" did not derail your MM picks thread. You did that yourself, I merely identified it. A common misconception about forums is when someone tries to counter a point brought up by another. The other person will erroneously view this as an attack on themselves, rather than their points. Eg: I argue day and night about philosophy with my friend. Even though it seems aggressive, we're both aware it's an intellectual battle, not a personal one. I don't dislike her for having an opposing view, but that won't stop me from debating it with her (and vice versa). ~~~~ Sorry about the initial wall of text reply, but look where it's got us There isn't much to go on when it's just posts with questions, of which reasoning is optional, and where they will never be answered. Also, I did have questions in my first reply... eventually

, if I could ask our PM anything, it'd be: "Do you think Canadians care?" We have such boring politics, people often go to the ballot still unsure of who they're voting for. I know I do, as with several friends. Voting % could be higher. Last I remember was around 60%. EDIT: Wow, okay, Canadian turnout was 61%, whereas American turnout was 38%! No wonder so many people complain. That's hilarious.
