Dan Froomkin at White House Briefing:
I asked you readers to suggest questions you’d ask the president if you had a chance, and they certainly spiced up my Live Online yesterday. Media blogger extraordinaire Jim Romenesko picked his two favorites: “How does ‘My Pet Goat’ end?” and “Why is Helen Thomas sitting in the back of the room?”
There were some slightly more serious ones: “Mr. President, Have you thought of a mistake yet?” and ” Can you give us instances in which you have been humble in your duties as president?”
And there were some entirely serious ones: “Mr. President, given your enthusiastic support for Turkey’s entry into the EU, could you outline what you believe the EU is and what membership entails? Follow-up: Why are you not granting Mexico the same privileges?” And: “Name 20 of the soldiers who you have sent to their deaths.”
