Reasonable Questions for Unreasonable Times Part 1b

• Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor? Don't know. If Obama didn't know he should have known. Then again if he did know and was alright with Van Jones' beliefs that tells a lot about Obama's beliefs. Obama said in so many words, judge me on the people I surround myself with.

• The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill? Because they have connections to Congress. Two of the founders are Democrat congressmen. Basically this group is an alliance of big business, labor unions, and environmental groups.

• If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on the American people? No, and if they did know they don't care.

• If the ‘public option’ health care plan is so good why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan? Because they know it isn't good and politicians always look out for their best interests.

• If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our minds—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening? Because they don't want to learn what's on our minds. They want the town hall participants to shut-up and not ask any questions. Just absorb and agree with what they are saying.

• Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted? Good one Glenn. He has a point. I mean they are accusing the town hall participants of doing what they do most of the time.

• Why would you want to overwhelm the system? To create a chaos and fear in the American people. Then you try to convince them that gov't intervention is needed to solve the crisis.

• Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"? Probably. That way you hope people are so wrapped up in their personal lives they are not paying attention to what is going in the gov't.

• What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices? As for the first question Glenn Beck answers that on czar page. Most salaries are unknown, and some are not paid at all. As for the budgets of the czars, who knows. Obama does not list any czar salary or budget on the White House website. So much for transparency.
