On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
Is it wrong for the incoming Congress to simply rule out the impeachment of President Bush?If the president has broken the law, it is the constitutional duty of the Congress to investigate and bring charges if necessary.
Richard, Evanston, IllinoisI greatly dislike Bush, but I am much more outraged about the values bickering instead of issue solving in this do-nothing Congress. I think the new Congress should, at least for now, put their grudges aside and focus more on the issues their predecessors neglected.
Ivan, Lancaster, California Impeachment should be a priority. Bush has got us into such a horrible, unacceptable position in the world and on so many levels it would take me hours to list them all. And to think we have two more years of him is outrageous. He is impeachable. I will help.
Lisa, Methuen, MassachusettsImpeachment should not be ruled out because it may be the only way to reveal otherwise secret information regarding President Bush's actions during his presidency. The public does not deserve to be left in the dark.
JohnWhat does Senator Barack Obama seem to have that the other potential presidential candidates don't?Obama's widest appeal is that he is a fresh face, someone new. In general, Americans are tired of the same old faces appearing in D.C. Obama, being new to the national scene, has people curious about him and hopeful they will find something new. The test will be whether he can keep this quality over the next two years.
Colleen, Newark, New JerseyJack, it's almost what he doesn't have: a closet full of deal-making baggage. He has a fresh face. He really does inspire people to hope. And, Jack, after six years of this administration, we desperately need some hope.
Tim, Maui, HawaiiHe seems to have a good deal of common sense. He is religious without being a fanatic. He seems to be smart, thoughtful and wise beyond his years. I think he would unify this country and lead the way to solve health care, Medicare, Social Security, education and equality issues. Equality defined as fairness for the working man vs corporate interests.
Jim, Arkport, New YorkWhat does it mean when the incoming Democratic House Intelligence chairman doesn't know the basics about al Qaeda and Hezbollah?Why, pray tell, should he be any different than the rest of Congress when it comes to Intelligence?
Stew, Palm Beach, FloridaWhen the incoming Democratic House Intelligence chairman admits he knows little or nothing about al Qaeda and Hezbollah it means business as usual in Washington DC.
AJ, LaGrange, IllinoisIt means Democrats are no better at vetting leaders than the Republicans. The ineptitude of our political parties ... staggering. After this last election I changed my voter registration to "no party affiliation." In the future, only qualified politicians get my vote. I might be staying home!
Russ, New YorkThat's the problem with democracy. You don't have to be qualified for the job to be given the job.
