Just got this email from the White House:
As the first year of the Obama Administration concludes with the State of the Union, the White House is inviting Americans across the country to connect directly with some of the President’s senior advisors. Through WhiteHouse.gov, these leaders will report to you on their work and answer your questions on where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re heading.Every morning this week at WhiteHouse.gov, you’ll find a guest blog post from a senior advisor talking about the progress the Administration has made in a particular area. Then, in the afternoon, that advisor will host a live video chat with the public where you can ask anything you want, or just tune in and see what’s going on.

Here’s the schedule we have planned:
Monday, 3:30 EST: Carol Browner, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate, discusses the President’s push to create the new clean energy economy.
Tuesday, 3:00 EST: Ben Rhodes of the National Security Council discusses the President’s handling of national security and foreign policy.
Wednesday, 12:00 EST: HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will talk about health reform, from how far we’ve come to how reform will benefit American families and small businesses
Thursday, TBD: The nation’s first Federal Chief Technology Officer, Aneesh Chopra, will join Norm Eisen, special counsel to the President for ethics and government reform, to talk about all the ways in which the President has changed Washington.Friday, 1:00 EST: Christina Romer, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, talks about the President’s primary focus on restoring the economy for all Americans and creating jobs for the American people.
Stop by WhiteHouse.gov to read all of the posts, join the chats, and find any updates on times. As the President likes to say, this is the “People’s House,” so we want to open it up and make sure you know what we’re doing to bring the change America needs.
Get in there and ask your questions!

Thomas Bates Bio: Thomas is Rock the Vote's Vice President of Civic Engagement. @BatesThomas Email the author at: blog(at)rockthevote.com |
We can start with the question of “Why is Tim Geithner allowed to remain Treasury Secretary after his blatant lying and secret money-funneling to the big banks and brokers? Why did he issue an uncapped (rather then originally promised and enormous $400 billion) bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Christmas Eve, so as to keep it out of the headlines? Why did he allow insolvent AIG to pay out to the banks and brokers 100 cents on the dollar from TAXPAYER funds? Answer me those questions.
This is President Obama’s appointment. Are you sheeple waking up yet? Heck, even Arianna Huffington, one of his staunchest original supporters has had the veil lifted from her eyes. WAKE UP!
