1. Do you think you can fool me by NOT answering questions concerning your staff? (What do you think I think when you don’t answer a question? What do you think I think when you respond with um, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, etc.?)
2. Do you expect me to accept your non-answers and not remember that you failed to answer legitimate questions?
3. We know now a little about how Chicago patronage (corruption) works, so do you expect us to not be suspicious of you and your history in Chicago politics?
4. Is it possible or probable that certain of your staff may be ‘taped’ by the US Attorney in Chicago?
5. Are you really the Teflon man?
6. Why have you resurrected your middle name (Hussein) after condemning its use during the political campaign?
7. Why don’t you allow your staff to meet with the different media – press, TV, cable, Internet? How long do you think you could stone-wall with your non-responses?
8. Why don’t you dispel or tamp down the rumors about your personal history – birth records, place of birth, foreign travel, passport stamps?
9. Why don’t you authorize the opening of your academic records to the public – your college transcripts, academic papers, legal writings (if any)?
10. Finally, since you are regarded as a skilful basketball player, how do you explain your bowling score to hover around 50?
Okay, okay, this last zinger may have crossed the line, but it’s my line!
