President Barack Obama is unafraid to answer questions.

He is at least willing to stand up in front of people and answer
their questions; apparently even tough questions.



He regularly points to times, days, and places where he will stand still and acknowledge legitimate questions by answering them candidly, forthrightly, and honestly (for the most, anyway).


Governor Bill Richardson will not.












Nor will Mayor Marty Chavez.












The President of the APS Board of Education, Marty Esquivel will not.










APS Superintendent Winston Brooks will not.










Surely character and courage must count for something.
