“We’re going to try something a little different,” Obama’s ninety-second speech sums up the absolutely unprecedented event. “We’re going to take advantage of the Internet to bring all of you to the White House to talk about the economy.” So far, more than sixty thousand questions have been submitted.
“This is an experiment,” he states in the video. “But, it’s also an exciting opportunity.”
Internet users will also have the option of voting on questions which have already been submitted - 2.4 million votes have been cast so far. According to the video, the president will answer the most pertinent and popular questions submitted by the American people. “We may not always agree on everything, but this way I can get a sense of your concerns, and give you some straight answers,” he offers in the message.
“So, America, what do you want to know about the economy?”
