Jack & Jill Politics

Mr. President,
How can your administration create a climate of cooperation and common purpose among those on Wall Street and Main Street to hasten our economic recovery?

Mr. President:

During the California Town Hall Meeting the Young AA man spoke to you about being laid off after 13 years and having had a conviction 20 years ago is unable to get gainful employment. You were very encouraging in your response but did not address the underlying issue that affects so many AA men in particular and will be a major barrier to getting any but specifically stimulus jobs in this economy. This is a major, major issue in the AA community and how do you plan to address it, IF you want the AA community to be better off when your term/terms are up??

Do you understand what systemic risk really is? Do you believe that AIG is a sytematic risk to the world wide economy? If you do why is your approach to solving the problem based on paying off failed assets in a value greater than the GDP of the country?

RobM's question is here — the green thumbs-up is a yes vote.

Rob, you might be better off submtting one or two of these as separate questions — most of the ones I've seen are one-question-per-submission. The site says each person can submit up to five … but I don't know if that's five per week, five per press conference, five per year or what so probably best not to burn them all up now.

Have to say I do agree. Things like this just are what they are.
