First, let's start with MTV Host Sway's Interview, previewing the Town Hall with Lawrence O'Donnell last night on The Last Word:
Sway seemed a little more down than necessary. Plus, how do we know the young people aren't going to turn out for the President. After all, the pollsters aren't screening people with cell-phones.
Anyway, here goes. It's thirteen parts, each part running 3-8 minutes each. It's a lot, but covers just an hour of time.
Part 1, The Opening, with a Question from a Republican on Health Care and Bi-partisanship:
Part 2, a slightly snotty question on Job Losses and spending:
Part 3, from a D.C. Student from Montgomery College:
Part 4, a Junior from Maryland asks about Cyberbullying:
Part 5, a faculty member from Howard University on Don't Ask, Don't Tell:
Once again, memo to the Jane Hamsher's of the world: DADT is Law. The President cannot unilaterally end DADT. I'm glad the President led with this.
Part 6, the Twitterverse asks Is being Gay a Choice?:
Part 7, from a Senior at G.W. about Social Security, and a bonus Tea Party question:
And the President got in another (subtle) shot at the Chamber of Commerce and their Foreign Money.
Part 8, from a young producer of a Conservative Talk Show:
Whenever they say it's not about race...
Part 9, from a Grad Student at Johns Hopkins on race relations, why are they getting worse:
Part 10, the Tweetverse asks about a possible War in Sudan:
Part 11, a junior from Georgetown University, an immigrant from Cuba, asking about Immigration and the DREAM Act:
How will your Administration take steps to get this legislation passed? Again with the "just be tougher" bull@#$%?? Congress is the most unpopular part of Government, yet it's only the President's fault when something doesn't pass?
That being said, the President is way more optimistic than I am about getting it passed.
Part 12, on Environmental Justice, focusing on post-Katrina New Orleans:
Part 13, Greatest Hopes and Greatest Fears from the Twitterverse:
