Title: Ask Obama or Romney a question!
Post by: jimmy olsen on October 09, 2012, 12:57:53 AM
Ask a question! You can even attach a youtube video.


QuoteOn October 16, President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney will take the stage again at Hofstra University, in Hempstead, NY, in the second Presidential election debate. This time, they will answer voters' questions in a live town hall forum.

This is YOUR opportunity to ask the candidates where they stand on the issues you care about most. The Commission on Presidential Debates will give a selection of your questions to CNN's Candy Crowley, who will be moderating the debate and asking questions of the two nominees.

Don't miss out on this chance to have your voice be heard! The deadline to submit is 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 9, 2013.

Post your question so we can vote to have them included.

For example here's my first question. It was originally much longer, but they seem to have a 250 character limit.

Quote"Mr. Obama, the U.S. navy is the smallest its been since 1916. With the rise of China as a naval power shouldn't emphasis in the defense procurement budget be placed on building new ships? After all, ships take much longer to build than planes."

Governor Romney:

When you were confronted with being a member in good standing of the LDS Church when it was still a racist organization you answered that you worked to change that; I commend you and your father for that. The LDS believed (and still does believe) that the discrimination was by Gods revealed command. Why do you think you know better than God and the Mormon Prophet?

President Obama:

Why do you persist pretending that a drone strike in a sovereign country without that country's permission is not an act of war?

It's not an act of war because we're not following it up and they're willing to let it pass.  :showoff:

QuoteGovernor Romney,

As an American who earns less money in a year than you make in a day, I want to know what you will do as president that will support my interests rather than yours and others at the top.

Although I could ask Obama the same question.  :sleep:

I'm pretty sure that's Romney.  A Hispanic teacher?  He couldn't smother him fast enough.

Obama:

Can you give a concrete method for shoring up the US education system? What, specifically, would be done to support our teachers and administrators in the public school systems, and how would it be paid for? What prevented this from happening during your first four years in office?
