If there was one question I would like asked of Barack Obama tonight that 1) might actually get asked and 2) might actually get answered it would be this:

Sen. Obama, if you were to become president and, upon taking office, discover that your plan for higher taxes on the rich would be insufficient to provide middle-class tax relief and fund your various programs, would you:

A) Forget about your new programs?
B) Go into debt to fund the programs?
C) Define "rich" down until it reaches a point sufficient to fund your programs?

I must confess that I'm getting that sense of deja vu all over again when it comes to a Democratic candidate promising a middle class tax cut.
