Questions for the President
By: Jess | March 26, 2009 | Category: General
If you ever wished you could communicate directly with President Obama, ask him a question and get an answer, now you have a chance.
Whitehouse.gov launched a forum where you can submit questions about the economy in text or video messages for the President to see. He then may answer some of your questions live in his own video chat.
If you're not interested in submitting your own question, you can also vote on other people's submissions.
The President says in his video message that this is a new experiment, but he hopes to open the White House to the American people, to get opinions on the economy from outside Washington and understand citizens' most pressing concerns.
The White House blog provides a brief summary of how online town halls will work. You may also want to read basic guidelines for submitting questions before you dive in.
You can watch the first town hall online today and can check Whitehouse.gov to look for more opportunities to ask the President questions.
If you could ask President Obama one question, what would it be? You can leave it here in the comments, but then go over to Whitehouse.gov and ask him yourself.
