25 Questions for Barack Obama
By Michael Lang on Feb 16, 2008 in POLITICS
Sone of the things that has endeared to the American people is his sense of humor, love of family and country and the unwavering belief that he can make a difference in the lives of others. Enclosed below are 25 questions that you are unlikely to hear on the evening news.
Q - You’ve been campaigning 16 hours a day for months…lost any weight?
A – I have. Probably 7-8 lbs. I’m not a snacker, so I wait until I can sit down to a proper meal – which doesn’t always happen.
Q – First concert?
A – Elton John, when I was 10. The music was terrific, but I didn’t get all of the plumage. I guess I get it now.
Q – Who would you most like to meet?
A – Bruce Springsteen. He strikes me as a good person.
Q – I see you’ve got your Nicorette here. How’s the no-smoking thing going?
A – Good. I’m done. That was always a little over-hyped. You know I’d sneak maybe 3-4 cigarettes a day, then I could go 3 or 4 days without one.
Q – What’s the first piece of legislation you hope to sign as President?
A – Health care for all Americans.
Q – First Executive Order?
A – A series of orders initiating a phased withdrawal of our troops in
Q – What about troops that lost buddies there and don’t want to leave yet and let those deaths be in vain?
A – Listen, I would say to them, our soldiers have performed magnificently, and they succeeded in the missions that have been given to them. So they have not been lost in vain.

Q – What do you miss most about life before all this?
A – Anonymity. Being able to just take my kids (daughters Malia,9, and Sasch,6) to the zoo without attracting attention. I’m in the wrong profession for that now.
Q – Have you tried a disguise?
A – A baseball cap and dressing down in jeans and an overcoat works if I move fast enough. The problem is my ears are prominent.
Q – What are some of the cool perks?
A – I can’t lie. It’s easier to get reservations when I want to take my wife (Michelle,44) out to dinner.
Q- When’s the last time you did that?
A – On her birthday, January 17. We were in
Q – What was your best effort for Valentine’s Day?
A – Interesting question. I’m so good to her in so many ways, no one gesture of undying love really stands out.
Q – You picked “Renegade” as your Secret Service code name?
A – I has to start with “R” and it suited the upstart nature of our campaign.
Q – What’s the last thing you prayed for?
A – Every night I thank God for all He’s given me, ask Him to protect my family, to forgive me my sins and foolishness and to make me an instrument of his work.
Q – Any particular foolishness?
A – Oh, all of it. I am reminded every day – if not by events, then by my wife – that I am not a perfect man.
Q – What’s the last thing that made you cry?
A – My girls. They’ll say smething that makes me realize how quickly they are growing up, how good-hearted they are. Malia is wise and thoughtful. Sasha is the comedian in the family.
Q – What’s the funniest thing she said lately?
A – I was sleeping late with the girls, and Michelle, who always wakes up early, turns on the lights. And Sasha says, ‘Aw, Mommy, we are at peace!’ She meant ‘peaceful’. I gather. Now, whenever Michelle and I want quiet time, we say, ‘We are at peace!’
Q – What’s the first thing they want when you walk through the door?
A – Hugs and kisses from their daddy.
Q – How would you describe your look?
A – Simple. My theory on style is find something that fits and buy five- like blue suits. They come in handy when you’re running for President.
Q – You used to have an Afro. What made you give it up?
A – My sort of half-Afro lasted well beyond the time it was fashionable, mainly because I didn’t want to spend $20 a week on haircuts.
Q – What was your last splurge?
A – My wife. Her birthday present. It was a necklace. And it wasn’t fake.
Q – Sonny &
A – Sonny &
Q – Fair enough. Marcia Brady or Laurie Partridge?
A – I am trying to remember what Laurie looked like. Oh yeah, Susan Dey from L.A. Law. Definitely her.
Q – Would you camp out for Hannah Montana tickets for the girls?
A – I should amend what I said earlier about the greatest perk. I was able to get them tickets already, which raised me tremendously in their eyes.
Q – Michelle’s taken you to task for not picking up your socks. Equal time. What does she do that drives you crazy?
A – I will display the wisdom I will display as President and decline to answer. My wife has no flaws.

Sir - Why do you NOT show respect for our FLAG. I have NEVER seen a picture of you with a FLAG in your lapel nor have I seen a picture of you with your right hand over your heart during the Pledge of Allegance or the playing of our National Anthem. Do you not respect our flag or our way of life and our beliefs. I wish to be notified by E-Mail - but also put this answer out in the media. I am a veteran who had enough GUTS to serve my county why not you?

I know some other questions the media hasn’t asked as far as I know.
1.What do you plan to do about Social Security?
2.What do you plan to do about water shortages that will get worse in the future?
3.What are your plans to ween us from foreign oil?
4.Do you favor spending money to try to curtail carbon emissions which may or may not affect climate change or would we be better served to spend money to adapt to changes that will occur as the suns output changes?
5.What solutions do you have for the massive national debt?

This is what I want from my president, I want him to get out of the White House, not only when there is a disaster,a photo shoot., but to spend the evening in small communities, asking what we need, how we can work together to improve a city, what’s the best way to improve our lives. WE dont always see the big picture, of the nation, our scope sometimes is just at our door step. WE NEED HOPE. The President should be FOR the people. I am trusting in You Mr. Obama.Let the people have control again. We dont need nor want more Govt, let us set benchmarks, reach them in our own districts, report to our own neighbors, that way, area by area, we can improve our lives ourselves. I dont trust Hillary, and will not give her control and power over me. Can you imagine the good you would do if you humanized the Office? You are golden Mr Obama. I know you care about this country, no doubt in my mind,so please hang tuff for all of us. I am praying for you and this Country.

Presidential candadate Obama admitted that in school he used illegal drugs such as cocaine, and marajuana? I would like to know his views on illegal drugs. Do you feel that was befitting of a person that could possibly be our next president.

Dimbert, if you are seriously interested in knowing Barack Obama’s views on drugs the please go to http://www.thelangreport.com/?p=534.
There are a great many people of my generation that either tried or just “experimented” with drugs and alcohol (which is a drug!) A lot of that depends on when and where you grew up and what you were exposed to. I try not to judge people on who they were in their formative years but on whatthey have become.
