Russert, of course, has all the ability to drill down, the question is whether he will use those formidable skills. What is most obviously missing from the public record about Obama are details as to his life after his graduation from Columbia and prior ro 2004. Tim Russert would do us all a great favor if he asked all of these questions:

What year did you join Trinity Church?

Hugh Hewitt wrote this question, thank you for recommending what Hugh Hewitt said to us Democrats:

How often did you attend services there? (This requires follow-up after the inevitable ambiguous answer. Wwas it quarterly, monthly, weekly? Did you belong to any of the church's many organizations, like a men's fellowship? These aren't trick questions. Any church member knows exactly how often they go to church, and the patterns don't change much after they are set.)

When you attended the Million Man March, did you go with a group of men from Trinity? Did you see Pastor Wright on that trip?

You heard him preach on "white man's greed," that's in your memoir Dreams from My Father. And when you told him he couldn't deliver the opening prayer at your campaign kick-off, you said it was because he could be "a little rough." How often did you hear him preach on the greed of white people, and what did you mean by "a little rough."

I'd like to know about your friendship with Bernadine Dohrn and William Ayers.

They hosted an event for you when you ran for state senate, right?

Hugh Hewitt wrote this question, thank you for recommending what Hugh Hewitt said to us Democrats:

Bernadine Dohrn worked at Sidley and Austin when your wife worked there, and maybe when you were a summer associate there, is that correct?

You and William Ayers served on a foundation board together, correct?

Did you ever socialize with them?

Hugh Hewitt wrote this question, thank you for recommending what Hugh Hewitt said to us Democrats:

Michelle Obama gave a speech a week ago Friday in which she bemoaned how much you two had been in debt until you wrote your two best-sellers. How much had you been in debt?

Hugh Hewitt wrote this question, thank you for recommending what Hugh Hewitt said to us Democrats:

Did you receive financial aid other than loans from Columbia or Harvard Law?

Do you think the country has made great progress on race relations?

Do you believe the government had anything to do with inventing AIDs? (Creekdog note: he answered this, why ask him again, because the point is to ask him, not to get the answer)

Hugh Hewitt wrote this question, thank you for recommending what Hugh Hewitt said to us Democrats:

Your church bulletin had some amazing things in it, which can fairly be described as extremely anti-Israel and some would say anti-semitic, such as the charge that Israel was developing a bomb that would kill only Arabs. Did you ever read anything in one of the Trinity bulletins that caused you to approach the leadership of the church and ask for more judgment or balance in the publications?

Hugh Hewitt wrote this question, thank you for recommending what Hugh Hewitt said to us Democrats:

People are worried about your judgment. There's your friendship with Pastor Wright, and you say you didn't know about his quote rants." There's your friendship with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, and you say you were 8 when they were blowing up people and buildings, but in November of 2007 they said horrible things about the U.S. There's Tony Rezko, your business partner on the land deal which makes him your neighbor, and now he's in the dock.

Hugh Hewitt wrote this question, thank you for recommending what Hugh Hewitt said to us Democrats:

How can people be confident that your judgment about people has improved?


==================

perhaps recommenders didn't know these were all by Hugh Hewitt, but how would they? The original poster did not mention who wrote the questions, the OP who usually sources their posts so well seemed to imply that Andrew Sullivan wrote it.

Well, Golly! :hi:
