Speculation on Debate Questions

Check out this interesting article in the Washington Examiner that details questions that will likely be asked in tonight's debate in Denver.  There is speculation that the debate will mainly focus on domestic policy issues, with a potential question on Libya as well. 

The questions for President Obama are geared towards jobs, healthcare and Libya. 

The questions for Governor Mitt Romney will likely deal with his health care plan in Massachusetts in comparison to Obama-care, and breaking down his recently publicized statement that "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims ... And so my job is not to worry about those people."

Below are four questions that I am going to be looking out for - but check out the article for the full list. 

'Mr. President, your campaign is currently running a television ad in which you promise to create 1 million new manufacturing jobs in your second term. Four years ago, you promised to create 5 million new green energy jobs, but fewer than 5,000 have actually come into being, and there are now 261,000 fewer jobs overall than when you were inaugurated. What makes your new job-creation promise any more credible than the old one?'

'To Obama, on health care: When Congress passed your health care law, you promised that it would make insurance premiums for families go down by $2,500 per year. Yet since the bill passed, premiums have actually risen, on average, by nearly that same amount. If your health care law is failing to make insurance more affordable for families, why should Americans think it more likely to accomplish its other stated goals?'

'To Romney, on dependency: Your opponent is currently running a television ad featuring you telling campaign donors: "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ...." What exactly were you trying to say there? Do you regret the statement?'

'To Obama, on Libya: To this day, you and senior members of your administration keep referring to the assassination of our ambassador in Libya as being related to a YouTube video. Since the attack, numerous mainstream news outlets have unearthed substantial, credible evidence that this attack was a premeditated al Qaeda strike that had nothing to do with any video. Please confirm or deny for us that this was a planned terrorist strike and not a protest over a movie.'
