Thanks for posting this so quickly. There was an election long ago in which one candidate posted a list of questions on the debate podium and then turned to the audience and charged them with not letting the other candidate get away until he'd answered those questions. That is the kind of tact McCain should be taking with the Democrats. Not just O though he has plenty to answer for, but all the Dems in control of Congress and the chairpersons over various finance committees.

I think the American people deserve to know. I have seen plenty of Sarah Palin gags on your satire shows but none on Barack Obama. I am all for transparency and the first question has been around for such a long time that I think y’all deserve an answer that at the very least.
