Recommend to thank you President Obama for holding the question and answer sessions

[JDPriestly]

with Republicans and Democrats and broadcasting them on You-Tube.

I finally got around to watching the entire hour of the President's question and answer with Republican Congresspeople. I don't agree with everything the President said (although I do agree with probably 90% of it), but it was just so great to be able to watch him answering questions. He is so patient, so easy to understand and so straightforward.

I hope he will continue to hold these what I would call issue forums.

This approach puts the President's best qualities -- his unusual intelligence, agile mind, personability (is there such a word?) and creativity in the spotlight. This is what we Democrats need. It helps us get a clear view of where the President wants to lead the nation. I like this.
