Mr President I have cleared my calendar, and can make myself available

[Ninga]

to sit down with you to discuss a budget deal from the 47% perspective. I am one of the little people, you know us as your base that went outside of our comfort zone to knock on doors and make calls for your re-election.

Let's see, you are meeting with business leaders, then with congressional leaders, but no where on your agenda of meetings do I see time carved out for real people.....you know, the majority of us who will feel and live with the results of what ever grand deal is cooked up.

Don't get me wrong, I trust you and respect the job you have to do....but by golly, just want to see real people at the seat of the table.

Is that so unreasonable?

1. I hope you have sent it to the White House, see link below if you don't have it

2. I believe that is why

We have a representative government. You elected the person who will represent you at that table, and it isn't the President. The President represents all of us.

3. Hey, I cleared my calendar to sit down with him too, if I'm not too drunk at the time.

On Edit: I'm pretty sure I've got enough open space in the back yard for Marine-I to land.

4. Obama already has talked with the common people and I think he listened.

The whole campaign was focused on finding out what we're thinking and what our concerns are.
It was not only the photo ops and impromptu visits, but in focus groups and polling and feedback from the grass-roots organizers.
Now that he's meeting with business and political leaders. Seems like the proper sequence of events to me.
Let's hope so.

5. Of course, and I agree. However he is in the throws of a week long series of discussions

with labor , education, big business etc...and this is not the first time he has talked with thoses interest groups....how can it hurt to ad common folk?
