Sen. Cruz (TX) on Pres. Obama

Open Email to Sen. Cruz (TX):

Dear Sen. Cruz,
I refer to your newsletter, "The News with Sen. Cruz - January 24, 2014", in which you cover five questions you would ask Pres. Obama, plus a number of miscellaneous items. I comment only on the five questions as follows:

1. Will the President allow the Department of Justice to appoint a special prosecutor to fully investigate the IRS’s illegal targeting of conservatives?
I expect to Pres. will ignore the question, since he has no incentive to respond. If he had to respond, he would possibly say "no", which he knows will be unpopular. Therefore, another reason to not respond. Or, he might say "yes" and then appoint a prosecutor who is Atty. Gen. Holder's brother.
I suggest an alternate approach, which is that Congress should appoint a special prosecutor.

2. Will the President act to ensure that the privacy of law-abiding citizens is protected from unjustifiable violations by arms of the federal government such as the NSA, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Internal Revenue Service, and Department of Health and Human Services?
The President will likely respond favorably to this question, because it would be the political thing to do. However, based on his previous track record, you can be sure that he would have no intention of following through.

3. Will the President recognize that his economic policies have failed to create the millions of jobs that he promised and have, instead, reduced the labor force participation rate to its lowest level in decades? Will he commit to commonsense, job-creating policies such as the immediate authorization of the Keystone Pipeline, a moratorium on new regulations, and fundamental tax reform for every American?
The President will likely respond favorably to the first part of the question, in the context that we still have very considerable unemployment, because Congress has not made enough [financial] effort to alleviate the problem. He will also be much in favor of job creating policies, but within environmental limits, which would not be detrimental to the health and welfare of the American public.
He will agree with your need for fundamental tax reform, including especially higher tax rates on the "rich". He will not try to eliminate special benefits for favorite groups, because it is part of his power base. However, he will not admit to same and will take no action to make appropriate changes.
4. Will the President call on Congress to form a Joint Select Committee to finally discover the truth of why four Americans perished in a preventable terrorist attack in Benghazi 16 months ago?
The Pres. will ignore this question, as he has for the last 16 months. He has no incentive to reply, because he knows that any reply will tend to make his administration look bad.
The alternate action is to have Congress established the Joint Select Committee.

5. Will the President finally recognize that it was a mistake to ram through Obamacare on a party-line vote and that it is -- right now -- hurting millions of Americans? Will he take real responsibility for misleading the American people when he falsely promised “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan” and “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? Will he acknowledge that he doesn’t have the power to unilaterally rewrite the health law for powerful favored interests such as big business and Congress? And will he finally work with Congress to repeal Obamacare and start over, adopting instead reforms that will make healthcare more personal, portable, and affordable?
The President will likely respond to this, ignoring the "like your Dr." and "keep your doctor" aspects. He will claim that Obamacare will be good for the American public and that we've just not had enough time to see its advantages.

Sen. Cruz, posing these questions to the President is an effort to work with him. Congress has had five years to work with Pres. Obama with no significant success. The reasons are that Pres. Obama has a complete Marxist philosophy, while Congress has only a partial Marxist philosophy. The sooner Congress recognizes that it is impossible to work with this President, and that every effort should be made to impeach him and remove him from office, the better.
