I would ask President Obama if he plans on using Tony Rezko in his administration. Perhaps Mr. Rezko would help work with homeowners in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure.
Mr. Rezko helped President Obama buy a house he couldn't afford.

I would ask him if he is looking at taxing the flow of money through the financial sector as a possible source of funds to enable the implementation of his new programs for healthcare, etc.
.
For instance, placing a small tax on trades of all types, movement of funds over the fed wire system, and other financial services where brokers or transaction fees are already figured into the economic costs of the transaction will have no effect on whether or not the transaction made and would only affect those who have money and not the poorer struggling middle class. It would also create revenue from offshore, untaxed funds simply moving through the system for safety and convienience.
.
All financial institutions already charge arbitrary fees for transactions that are a huge source of revenue for them. Stock brokerage fees are arbitrary...they may charge 1/16th or 1/8th on the gross amount to complete a sale...if the Fed charged a flat fee of say $1 per trade...it wouldn't affect whether that trade was made or not--and there are millions of trades per day. The same with wire transfers from banks. In a real estate transaction, closing costs are loaded with arbitrary fees.

I think Willie Horton said it best...go to where the money is.

Why is the Federal Gov. so hard on the working man's job(factory worker, etc.) and not the bank exec.?
then I would ask him if he thinks MLM companies are legal
network marketing training
I would ask him if he can legalize poker clubs.
I would ask him when he plans his first way. Isn't it always the way that a new president needs to get a war under their belt?
I would ask him...
