"What are you doing to keep good paying manufacturing jobs in the USA? These jobs keep America strong, increase tax revenue reducing the deficit and make us less vulnerable to foreign control."
-- Rick S.
"What, if anything, are you doing to help recent college graduates, undergraduate and graduate, relieve some of their financial burden as a result of student loans? How is it that some college graduates leave the universities with upwards of $20,000 to $100,000 but don’t receive degrees and income to reflect the high costs they’ve endured?"
-- Jorge H., Florida
"How long do you believe the US economy can continue to fund the Iraq war? Given that the Iraqi Prime Minister claims that his forces can control the country and that US forces can leave anytime, shouldn’t we be leaving and saving US military lives in addition to saving money? If not, then can we at least pull the troops into a friendly country for the month of August? As Tony Snow commented, it gets very hot in Iraq in August so people need to take the month off."
-- Rob M., California
"How could you take such a blind eye to mortgage industry for so long? Keeping interest rates so low for so many years and Alan Greenspan recommending to the consumer to go out and get these Option Arm loans just so people could go into foreclosure 2 years later."
-- Dan F., Florida
"Why would you not lift the excessive federal tax on commissions and bonuses for corporate employees?"
-- Alina T., California
