My previous post, parsing Peggy Noonan's He Was Supposed to Be Competent, set the theme for this one. Rush Limbaugh's show yeserday had the same theme [transcript]. Shortly before Obama's first press conference in 309 days began , Limbo listed 10 questions he would ask Obama.

- Do you prefer golf or basketball
when avoiding the hard work of being president?
- Approximately 70% of the American people approve of Arizona's
immigration law and want the border sealed. What do you do, Hugo
Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Felipe Calderon know about these matters that
we don't?
- You say that you won't rest until every
American has a job and the Gulf oil spill is capped and the area cleaned
up. Well, why are you vacationing in Chicago over the Memorial Day
weekend and then returning to Washington for a Paul McCartney concert?
- Speaking of Memorial Day, why not commemorate the day at
Arlington National Cemetery? Are you avoiding Arlington due to the fact
that you embarrassed yourself there a few years ago when you said, "On
this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen
heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today,... ?
- When you do deliver your
Memorial Day remarks, if the word "corpsman" pops up on your
teleprompter, how will you pronounce the word, "corpsman" or
"corpesman"?
- Number six, did you learn to solve big problems by putting
your boot on people's necks from Frank Marshall Davis, Saul Alinsky,
Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, or Rahm Emanuel?
- When you
said to your staff, "Plug the damn hole," was it your impression that BP
had not yet thought of that, and did it take you five weeks to come up
with that solution? What were some of the other ideas you had, if this
was your latest and greatest idea, plug the hole?
- When
it comes to Gulf oil spill, would you say that better late than never is
your motto, or is it, why do today what can be done tomorrow?
- Should the American people be saying "thank you" for the economy
and for your response to the Gulf oil spill?
- Number ten: Does the
Mexican president ever object to what you tell him to say?
