If the answers were “inadequate”, and that is a big if, the inadequacies may be attributed to the questions being inadequate. There is a term for
people who do what you just did, and a term that describes the behavior, and if you’re familiar with rhetoric and debate you’ll obviously know
what I’m referring to. In addition, take a refresher course on open and closed questioning you seem to need it. Now let us address your lack of
critical reading skills, you’ll get a laugh out of this one, I’m sure.
You asked:
Question: do you think Obama is aware of the rising tensions? What should he do about it? Or is he using it to his advantage, as a distraction,
even though it is tearing this nation apart?
To the first question I answered, “Yes he is fully aware of it.” Knowing this to be fact, how can you claim my answer was inadequate and focused
on how Barry O could protect himself, when you asked a closed question, and I answered in the appropriate fashion?
Hold on it gets really better!
To the second question I answered with, “For starters, he should tighten security. However, he won’t be touched unless his handlers give the green
light, and as long as he does what he is told, he’s in good hands.” You asked what should he do about it, but due to him receiving the most
threats out of any president in U.S. history, which would make him aware of rising tensions (which is an element of your question) he should be
concerned with his safety. Therefore, the answer is appropriate. Yes, this answer does focus on his safety, but since you made no distinction, your
opened question was answered in a highly logical fashion relevant to rising racial tensions.
Here we are now, the last question!
I answered your question in the appropriate fashion with, “If he is using it as a distraction, it is because he is being told to use it as a
distraction.”
In closing, two out of three of my answers had nothing to do with his safety. Therefore, you’re
lying when you say my answer was inadequate
and focused on his safety. However, I will once again point out that the answer that did involve his safety was highly reasonable and relevant to the
questions.
Have a nice day! LOL!
