QUESTION OF THE DAY: The Washington Examiner asks readers one question with each Morning Examiner email, and here's todays question and response:

Which of the candidates, announced or unannounced, does President Barack Obama favor to succeed him in the White House?

[R]eaders opted for Joe Biden, although at least two readers believed the president favored his wife, Michelle Obama. Nancy in Pittsburgh had a different take:

None of those who have been mentioned. He wants to continue to rule America, and he may figure out a way to accomplish this. He has gotten everything else he's wanted.

The latter is a relatively common suspicion on the Right, and with Hillary's flameout, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Left scheming ways to get around the 22nd Amendment.

AN ERROR? ARE WE SURE? Facebook apologizes for 'error' that banned reports on illegals taking jobs from Americans.

Forgive me, but that's hard to take seriously, given Mark Zuckerberg's support of immigration.

NOT TO MENTION THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH HACKING: Electronic noise is drowning out the Internet of Things.

BUT ARE THEY ARMED? UAVs deployed to protect sea turtles along Mexico’s Pacific coast.

PENSIONS OF 10,000 military cheaters on Ashley Madison list may take a hit. And what about other government agencies?

The list says there are 44 emails registered on the Ashley Madison site with a "WhiteHouse.gov" address.

Was one 'POTUS@WhiteHouse.gov'?

BECAUSE ALL THE HOT AIR HAS MOVED TO THE EARLY PRIMARY STATES: Wind energy gets blown away by shifting patterns in the West.

CARS THAT THINK: Tesla hands self-driving technology to select customers.

It’s like handing off DVD players to the first non-engineers ever to see them—guys who will not read the #$%^! manual and who will not use a ballpoint pen to set the digital clock so it won’t flash “12:00” forever and ever.

I'd read the #$%^! manual if the first 375 pages weren't chock full of 'safety' warnings and the 10 pages of useful information (like what the blinkin' lights mean and where the fuse box is) were organized coherently and logically.

SCOTT WALKER'S ObamaCare alternative chooses pragmatism over purity. It's a good first step, but a first step only. I'm still looking for health insurance to move away from the tax exemption of employer-based plans and open up group plans to professional, fraternal, and other voluntary associations.

YEAH, RIGHT: Veterans' mail incorrectly 'placed in shred bins'.

WYOMING MAN files suit over massive EPA fines for building pond. I hope he wins, wins big, and every dime of his winnings comes from the salaries of the EPA bureaucrats.

Remember, this is your EPA.

AMMO GRRRLL on the socialist paradise of Cherokee Lizzie, Class-Envy Bernie and Disparate Impact Barry:

[B]eing the arbiters of Cool, the gatekeepers guarding the trends, the fads, the politically-correct speech code, is less trouble and less dangerous than facing down angry mobs. Sometimes, “in the course of human events” and all that, angry mobs – even nuns! – can be pushed far enough to fight back. And decide for themselves what is Cool. May the time not be distant.

Amen.

FIVE YEARS? For most progressives, five days is a step too far.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON has thoughts on the absurd and not-so-absurd of immigration reform.

IS THERE a gender-neutral term for 'idiot'? Yes. 'Diversity Coordinator'.

THE NASCENT BIDEN CAMPAIGN has picked a campaign slogan.

A POX ON VOX: John Hinderaker's final comment about Vox founder, editor-in-chief, and former Washington Post employee Ezra Klein ("[H]e just isn't very bright.") is spot on and representative of the entire Vox organization.

Vox does, however, provide a small window into the historical illiteracy of the progressive 'reality' worldview.

JEB BUSH just lost my vote. We need a Republican candidate who will stand up to these lice, not cater to them.

'TIDAL WAVE' of EPA regulations threatens U.S. 'fracking' revolution. Progressives won't be happy until the United States is as poor as the rest of the world.

THE MOVEMENT to surrender on amnesty is well underway.

I'm willing to grant permanent residency to those illegals who have lived - and worked - here quietly and within the law for years. But citizenship? No. Not until they leave and then get in line to return legally.
