| 1. I wonder how candid this meeting is as compared to a meeting behind closed doors |

| 2. There in lies the problem with transparency.... |
|
..... even when you stick a camera in the room people will say that those in front of the camera aren't being candid enough.
There's always something.

and some meetings need to be held in secret to allow a free flow of ideas, some of which might not yet by fully fleshed out, and some of which might not be popular.

| 9. Oh gee, do you honestly believe that TAX CUTS will stimulate increasing employment? |
|
That is an old and tired GOP meme that Obama is presently touting. I could not be more disappointed in him and his "team." :thumbsdown:

| 12. ok, lets try this again..... |
|
... I'm not arguing with you, I'm asking you what the rest of his sentence was. To just say "the President said 'tax cuts'" doesn't tell the rest of us anything.
I was out of the room for part of it. If he said he was going to offer tax cuts to the wealthy I certainly missed it.

| 21. +1 Obama is continuing on with both Clinton's and BushCo's failed fiscal Policies |
|
Now one of his solutions to create jobs is "tax cuts" which he immediately mentioned during the few minutes we were allowed to listen in.
