Youtube is taking questions for Obama's State of the Union address. I asked "What is your criteria for deciding if you will veto a bill". I figured it was inocuous enough that it might get answered while providing a possibly useful answer.Plus it probably won't get me sent to a secret prison in Uzbekistan. My favorite question that will almost certainly not be answered is "Do you believe any of your decisions are unconstitutional?".
well, my question was blunt and to the point:
"in light of the overcrowding of our prisoners, which is allowing rapists and murderers to escape, why not just end the war on drugs?"

I'm pretty sure I upthumbed that question on the channel page.

thanks! it was (at the time) the only one up there about this issue.
bear in mind, what I posted here was a paraphrase, though the original was still blunt.

Supposedly the votes are going to decide what Obama is asked, but I'm skeptical about that. Especially since one of the top ranked is "My toaster, bread goes in and toast comes out, explain that." I'm guessing they'll only take "serious" questions and they can define any difficult question as not serious.

I pretty much figured that that would happen. still worth asking, if only for the principle of it.
nice O'Reilly spoof there (in bold). Little wonder that question is a leading one-I'd vote him up too if I was less serious :P
