I'll take "Things that make Obama say uh, uh, uh, uh" for $500, Alex

Townhall.com has a great column by Larry Elder which lists questions that the MSM should be asking Obama. Each and every one of these are legitimate questions, but I think we will have to wait until that first ski lift in hell is installed before we ever hear Katie, Brian, or Charles ask any of them.

One thing is for certain, if Obama were asked any of these questions, they would surely induce that involuntary vocal chord spasm that produces that "uh, uh, uh, uh" sound we keep hearing from him whenever a reporter or interviewer goes off-script.

Here are a couple of questions Larry Elder would like to have Obama answer:

Q: In 2004, you called it unwise to announce a timetable. By 2008, however, you announce a 16-month timetable. Only a few days ago, your top campaign strategist stated that you were "not wedded" to that timetable. The next day, you reiterated your 16-month timetable, but added it's important not to "undo" our gains. Isn't this confusing?

Q: You point to Kennedy's 1961 summit with Khrushchev, held without preconditions. But Kennedy's secretary of State, Dean Rusk, advised against the meeting, and Kennedy later declared the talks a disaster. Many historians say that Khrushchev sized up Kennedy as a novice, which emboldened Khrushchev in building the Berlin Wall and in putting missiles in Cuba. Is it wise to hold up the Kennedy/Khrushchev summit as a model?
