Well, I am one who thinks they are questions that needed to be asked

of both candidates.

Actually, I think the softballs that Obama got were probably more offensive. If Gibson is taking on the roll of a job interviewer, which the vibe I got from the Palin interview, then Obama got the "affirmative action" interview, in all its most pejorative meanings, while Palin got the real interview of someone who is getting a job that requires qualifications other than being the member of a must hire minority, who will be shunted off and ignored after he gets on the payroll.
