That's because if you ask Obama the same questions you'll get reasonable responses and then you end up with an interview that nobody wants to watch. It would be incredibly boring. He's answered questions like that before in speeches, debates, and press conferences and proven he has a stance on those issues.
On the other, when a candidate comes out of left field and virtually never talks to press, they have to ask these because nobody knows where she stands. If the McCain campaign hadn't been hiding her away, inaccessible to the media for the last month, I'm sure the interview would have been much different. These tough questions would have been previously answered at press conferences, and everyone would already have an idea of Palin's competency.
When you don't allow your VP candidate to talk to the media, it looks as if you're hiding something, and you bring the tough interviews on yourself.
