I would ask him what he thinks about Republicans trying to repeal his medicare death panel known as the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). This death panel is putting bureaucrats between patients and doctors and severely limiting access to care. It has to go!!!

I would ask him WHY he HATES AMERICA so much!!!!

Thanks for the comment, Frank! I'd love to hear what others think about this issue and the many more facing America right now.

I'd like to ask him why he want to punish success and how under his term the country has become more polarized and divided than any time since the civil war.

I would ask him if he is making the most of the limited time he has left at the white house. because he needs to go.

Thanks, Gail and Blake! Does anyone else feel the same way?

I would ask him why half of the comments in this section look like they were lifted from a right-wing pundit/talk show. Let's think for ourselves, people. Why he hates America so much? Really? That's something I would expect my five-year-old to say. And I guess Mr. Hall would define success as making more than 250k dollars a year. I have a different definition of success but I guess everyone has a right to their own opinion, even if it's actually someone else's opinion that they just adopt.
And this country has NEVER been more polarized and divided since the Civil War. One must be completely ignorant of this country's history to compare the sectarian strife that led to almost 700k casualties during the Civil War to anything we experience today. That comparison is absurd.

My primary criticism of Obama is his neglect of bringing renewable energy options to this country. Outside of that, I feel like he's been as faithful as he was able to with his 2008 promises. We are out of Iraq, we are almost out of Afganistan, we caught Bin Laden, he tried/is trying to secure universal healthcare. That being said he is NOT taking a strong enough stance against those that would continue to rape this land of its natural resources. Fracking for methane is still going on, oil drilling in the Gulf has resumed, at least he blocked the oil pipeline but he is dropping the ball as far as securing out long-term energy needs. I would ask him what his plan for renewable energy is, should he be re-elected.

Thanks for the comments everyone and keep 'em coming! It's really interesting to see what issues matter to our readers.

I would ask him if he would like to use my " 100 percent au-thenic hari kari knife". You have to pronounce it using a texas accent.

We need economic freedom more than renewable energy. If the market wants renewable "green" energy, it will be built. We don't need to legislate it. It's not the government's job to create markets and it's not good at it either—reference Solyndra.

As for raping the land, what good are resources if you never use them? They're not resources then.

There. Thoughts straight from my brain to your screen with no pundit talking points. And before anyone gets it wrong, I'm a Libertarian. I want as much freedom as possible for everyone in our country. I don't want to stifle innovation, choice, or personal responsibility.

Unfortunately Obama doesn't understand that/agree. But what's even more unfortunate is that hardly anyone else does either.

I would ask him, why it was all President Bush's fault when he was a senator and Bush was president, but now that he is President it is all congresses fault. I would at least not blame everything on everyone else and man up and admit in front of my kids that i'm not perfect and not always right.

Thanks for the very thoughtful comments, Joe.

@Joe -- markets are terrible at creating new technologies that require huge amounts of research over many years. In the USA, we live by short term financial returns, which these projects never provide. Most government market-making takes place in the form of grants to universities or joint industry/military/US department projects. Government also uses tax schemes to prop up markets. For example, the auto registration fees we pay go to road repair but the wear-n-tear our cars make is minimal and out of balance with fees. However, the big rig trucks that move goods around do far more damage than the fees they pay. So we subsidize trucking through our tax schemes and prop up the trucking industry where it might not otherwise be successful in a free market.

Solyndra was a victim of Chinese dumping on the solar market. The solar industry in Germany is suffering a similar fate. If you agree that dumping is outside of the free market, it's hard to blame Obama for Chinese interference.

Using resources is possible without "raping the land." Just don't level mountains and fill up streams and valleys in the process (coal). Don't inject toxic byproducts into the drinking water (fracking). Expect to pay 100% of the cleanup for your oil spills.

For the record, I'm also a libertarian.

What does he really know about the disgracefull "FAST AND FURIOUS" gun sales that landed many automatic weapons land in the hands of DRUG DEALERS ?
