Obama’s live cast is on right now–you can watch it here!
A highlight for me: Obama is talking about what it was like when Obama was in the hospital for the birth of his daughters!
Other great highlights: Obama is taking questions directly from people and from online participants (would the legalization of pot resurrect the U.S. economy?)–something I don’t think I’ve ever seen.
Many of the questions, I think Obama is glossing over–but I do think that he is showing a certain amount of accountability to us citizens that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before.
Are you listening/watching? What do you think?

My thoughts? It’s so very casual…so surprising to see this tone in the White House. Who knows if this is really something useful, but it’s refreshing nonetheless.
This healthcare question is DEEP. Let’s see how he responds.

No immigration mention.

I was gonna ask about that. I tuned in at the very last 5 minutes and wondered if an immigration question had made the cut. Not surprised it didn’t.

yeah, I only saw about 20 minutes, didn’t even come *near* the immigration question from what I saw. The question on education yielded some good answers, tho. but the question right before that one on taxes/private businesses–kinda sucked.
I do agree with you, tho, jennifer, I really appreciate the more laid back, accessible style of this administration. At the very least, if he totally back pedals, we have the ability to say to him, you totally back pedaled on that.

Has he and everyone taken the whole Si Se Puede chant/rallying cry out of context so much rendering it meaningless? No mention of important issues like immigration. It’s as if he wants Latino support using buzzwords and catch phrases. [...]
