Here are Savage’s questions for Obama and then my "What Obama Might Say" (WOMS) answers:
1. Why did you insist on pushing into the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department a lawyer who defended the assassin of a police officer? A lawyer who has such a hatred for the police and law enforcement that he called them “an occupying fascist presence”?WOMS: I thank you, Dr. Savage, for this question. The fact is that in this country every person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Even those charged with the most heinous crimes are entitled to as one of THEIR rights to have an attorney. We must not blame Debo P. Adegbile for her role in defending Abu-Jamal.
2. Why did you refuse to send military help to the people trapped in Benghazi?WOMS: (Keep in mind, O'Reilly did ask about whether or not the Benghazi attack was called a "terrorist attack" when the president was first informed of it). The only remotely timely military response would have been an air assault, and without knowing exactly where the Americans were, there was simply not enough to go on to authorize such an attack.
3. Why did you attack Israel and have John Kerry threaten the Jewish people with another intifada and boycotts unless they gave away half their nation?WOMS: I did not "attack" Israel and there is no demand or even request for Israel to "give away half their nation."
4. Why have you fired so many combat generals on such slim charges at a time when China is on the march and the Islamo-fascists are stronger than ever?WOMS: Dr. Savage, without specific charges and examples of said "firings" I cannot answer. China is not "on the march" and we're getting along quite well with Islam in the United States.
5. Why have you dismissed almost the entire nuclear command on trumped-up charges?WOMS: They were making me look bad.
6. Why do you keep expanding the welfare state when the economy is so weak? Such as expanding unemployment payments? Not reining in the 12 million, and growing, army of Americans cashing in on disability payments? Failing to stop the unchecked growth of the number of people on food stamps? Virtually eliminating the work requirements for receiving welfare benefits?WOMS: I have to keep my supply of voters/supporters!
7. Why do you keep pushing for amnesty for 30 million or more Mexicans and other illegal aliens when they are here illegally? And we cannot afford them? When they won’t learn English? Or learn our history? When they wave Mexican flags at sporting events and speak of the “gringo” with such contempt?WOMS: I have to keep my supply of voters/supporters!
8. Why won’t you stop the IRS from targeting conservative groups? Harassing them with audits and blocking their non-profit status? Why did you let Eric Holder choose a lawyer who had contributed thousands of dollars to your campaign to head the Justice Department IRS investigation when a special prosecutor is needed?WOMS: Dr. Savage, that was three questions! Need I remind you of my previous two answers? Those conservative groups were getting in the way.
9. Why won’t you stop the NSA from spying on innocent Americans?WOMS: Equal treatment under the law... and of course, some are more equal than others.
10. Why don’t you prosecute gangsters on Wall Street and those corrupt senators and congressmen who are stealing billions through front groups and relatives? Through manipulating markets? On contracts?WOMS: Those are some pretty serious, but also non-specific charges.
11. Why don’t you approve the Keystone pipeline which will bring much-needed oil from Canada to refineries in America, for Americans? Instead of forcing the Canadians to ship this precious black gold to China?WOMS: Because that is what the Republicans want, and I can't be seen or perceived as bowing to their wishes.
12. Why don’t you encourage the expansion of charter schools so that underprivileged minority students have a chance at a real education? So they’re not trapped in a school system that dooms them to never realize their dreams? When 90 percent of African-Americans voted for you?WOMS: When those people are "trapped," as you call it - they are also dependent upon the government for their existence. Again, I need to keep my supply of voters/supporters growing.
13. Why do you make policy and change laws by presidential executive order when the Constitution grants those powers only to Congress?WOMS: I believe Senator Jeff Sessions said it well... “I think the American people are coming to recognize that the President sees the Constitution as an inconvenience…a handicap to achieving the agenda that he has.”
14. Why won’t you speak out against the Islamist radicals who massacre Christians throughout the Middle East and North Africa?WOMS: They are not potential voters/supporters.
