The questions:
I have only quoted his opening statement...please follow the link above to read the full...and quite detailed, responses to the questions

     1.  From Jen:  John Edwards spoke repeatedly about alleviating suffering and poverty for the poorest among us. With 46 million people living in poverty and tens of thousands of homeless people in most major cities in our nation, what will be your response in addressing the lack of affordable housing in our nation?

OBAMA:  Rising poverty is one of the most serious issues facing America today, and I believe that inserting simplistic tag lines or one-dimensional goals are unlikely to be helpful in meeting this challenge.  As president, I will build off of my life experiences of fighting poverty and hopelessness as a community organizer, civil rights lawyer and elected official to make poverty eradication a top goal of my administration...

     2.   From Debbie:  Many in the U.S. are deeply in debt, struggling to pay off credit cards with high interest rates. The mortgage crisis is pushing many working families even closer to the edge. Meanwhile, it is becoming harder for individuals with good credit scores to secure credit at a fair rate. And foreign investors are becoming nervous about whether U.S. consumers (and corporations) will be able pay back their debts, given the struggling U.S. economy. What do you plan to do to address the growing credit crisis?

OBAMA: The financial fallout from the mortgage crisis has spilled into the larger economy with millions of Americans now worried about their jobs, their homes and their financial futures.  At this moment, we must come together and act to address the housing crisis, restore balance, fairness and confidence in our economy, and provide some relief to America's middle class families that are getting squeezed from all sides.

Six months ago, I announced my plan to put a middle-class tax cut worth $500 per person or $1000 per family into the pockets of workers who deserve it.  I also proposed eliminating income taxes for seniors making under $50,000 and creating a universal mortgage credit for homeowners  who do not itemize, which will provide an average of $500 to 10 million homeowners.

And because this kind of relief can't wait until the next President takes office, I proposed a plan in January to provide an immediate tax cut of $250 for workers and their families and a temporary $250 bonus to seniors in their Social Security checks.  These tax cuts will help to stimulate the economy by immediately putting money into the pockets of working Americans who need it and will spend it.  And if the economy continued to worsen, I called for an additional $250 to workers and seniors to help them get by...

     3.    From SueBob:  Will you stop the United States from torturing people and holding them without charge or trial?

OBAMA: I strongly oppose the use of torture.  From both a moral standpoint and a practical standpoint, torture is wrong.  Military and intelligence experts agree that torture is not an effective means of interrogation, and that our use of it threatens our troops serving abroad.  It also violates international legal norms and human rights.  From both a moral standpoint and a practical standpoint, torture is wrong.

I will also work with Congress to restore the historic right of habeas corpus.  I am confident that we have nothing to fear and everything to gain by asking our courts to help ensure we're holding the right people, not the wrong people.  Our legal system can deal with these individuals and demonstrate to the world our commitment to the rule of law.

     4.  From AmyUWM:  What do (Obama and Clinton) plan to do about the horrifically family unfriendly policies of corporate America? How can we better support working moms and working families with paid maternity leave, affordable childcare, etc. Does s/he see these issues as a priority for his/her administration?

OBAMA:  We need to give working families a break. For twenty-five years, we've seen gaps in wealth grow larger, while our tax code that favors wealth over work. That's why I've proposed an income tax cut to offset the payroll tax that working Americans are already paying. This will be worth up to $1000 for a working family. I'll make retirement more secure for America's seniors by eliminating income taxes for any retiree making less than $50,000 per year. And I won't wait ten years to raise the minimum wage - I'll guarantee that it goes up every single year. That's the change that working Americans need.

We know that the cost of the American dream must never come at the expense of the American family. You're working longer hours. More families have two parents working. Meanwhile, it's hard to get a hand. It's even harder to get a break. That's why I'll double spending on quality after-school programs - so that you can know your kids are safe and secure. And that's why I'll expand the Family Medical Leave Act to include more businesses and millions more workers; to let parents participate in school activities with their kids; and to cover elderly care. And we'll finally put federal support behind state efforts to provide paid Family and Medical Leave... (continued at MOMOcrats)

   5.   From Sara:  My biggest question is what can be done to help dual income families, with specific regards to paid maternity leave (which he has addressed briefly, but I would love some more detail on) and access to quality affordable childcare.

OBAMA:  As a state legislator and a U.S. Senator, I have always supported family friendly policies. As president, I will initiate a 50 state strategy to encourage all of the states to adopt paid-leave systems, and I will provide a $1.5 billion fund to assist states with start-up costs and to help states offset the costs for employees and employers.

I also believe that the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit provides too little relief to families that struggle to afford child care expenses. Consequently, I will reform the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit by making it refundable and allowing low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit for their child care expenses.
