And with today's technology, the site could look for key words within questions and automatically nest them together to avoid having to sift through "obama's birth certificate" questions over and over again. ;-)

You are absolutely correct. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and all other enemies of the American government should be put on trial for treason. Well, ok, not treason, just for wasting our time with irrelevant dribble that has nothing to do with what is really going on.

How much money does it save taxpayers to pay for the buses, planes, and trains to "round them all up and deport them"? How much would it cost to pay people to do the rounding up? Where would those people come from? how long would it take to accomplish this?

Perhaps there's a better answer.....

Perhaps every American should be tax audited. That would the only fair way to ensure that taxes are paid fairly by everyone according to what they owe.

It would be even better for a complete overhaul of our tax system to make it more transparent and easier for every American to pay their fair share.

Why can't the "birth certificate" folks simply vote on one post expressing this idea? It seems that they did not read the rules which state, very clearly, that duplicate posts about the same idea will be removed. It clogs up the system and makes it more difficult for those of us who actually want to participate because we have to sift through the same post over and over again.

This sounds like a great idea. I would even take it one step further. Perhaps each week (Sun through Thurs) a site could be set up that specifically allows people to ask questions of the president and vote for which questions they would like discussed or answered. The votes could be finalized each week at a certain cut off time, then the top 10 questions could be formalized and posted on Friday. The President could then address those specific questions on Saturday during a live webcast.

Each week the list would be removed and the process would start over again on Sunday with a clean slate, ensuring only those current questions of the week are considered in the voting process for that week and that the questions are as current as possible.
