THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS REAL JOURNALISTS WOULD ASK PRES. OBAMA

(h/t Avedon)

David Dayen at Salon has a list of 20 good ones and this is my favorite:
13. The Residential Mortgage Backed Securities working group, the task force you established to prosecute fraud in the packaging and selling of mortgage-backed securities during the housing bubble, has thus far not issued one criminal subpoena, and just a few civil cases, where the perpetrators can often settle without having to admit wrongdoing. Do you believe in the concept of prison as a deterrent to criminal behavior?
