What would you ask the USA/Obama?

Postby Biotopia » Sat Sep 19, 2009 3:53 am

I'm currently the Editor of a magazine in Perth, Australia and have just scored an all-access interview with the Consul-General of the United States. This is pretty sweet timing becuase our new ambassador to the US was just announced and I managed to interview him just a few months ago (one degree of seperation to Obama, FTW). I know that America can provoke a lot of passionate opinions so i'm curious; "if you could ask the US a question, what would ask and why?"

the act itself is easily, its the after affects of being accused of being racist that hurts.

What? People that buy SUVs are regular people. Besides that they have one or more of the following; kids, outdoor hobbies, a boat to tow. You know, things that a government mandated Prius cannot accomplish. Capiche?

Well pretty much all of the senate is consisted of democrats and our current congress is the worst in US history (at least for approval rating).
