White House Launches Open for Questions

Follow us on Twitter

Barack Obama and the White House launched Open For Questions aiming to hear the people's questions about the U.S. economy.

Here's how it works -- President Obama is inviting everyone to ask a question about the economy and to rate other questions up or down.

On Thursday morning, the President will conduct an online town hall on the economy and answer some of the most popular questions live.

"Open for Questions" is an opportunity to open up the White House to all Americans.

It's an experiment designed to encourage transparency and accountability by giving you a direct line to the White House.

This first round will deal with the economy. Americans deserve to know what their government is doing to get our economy back on track. But it's up to you to participate and make this experiment a success.

Join the discussion now:

Thanks, and remember to check back Thursday to watch the President answer some of your questions live.

The online town hall will be at 11:30 AM Eastern, the voting will close at 9:30 AM. 28,231 people have submitted 29,982 questions and cast 1,054,067 votes

I'm not behind on my mortgage. Do I have to be behind to get a better deal? I'm paying Wells Fargo at seven percent. They wont give me a lower rate without meeting specific credit standards. Is this fair? I want a four percent interest rate.

If you've read the plan, do you agree that its beneficial to the economy. Lotto stimulus is a city lottery. The Lottery incentive is an up to 5k possible weekly winning ticket. After a 6 mo. collection period city registered residents get a fair share of the lottery pool as a supplement income payment via lotto stimulus direct deposit accounts. It's an investment, savings and resident supplement income plan to assist the city's economy. Do you agree with the plan?

What do I say to my Wells Fargo Bank to get a lower interest rate with an average credit history?

Some company's are advertising their ability to guarantee the Obama plan to help lower mortgage interest rates. Then they ask for up to twoo thousand plus dollars up front as an attorney fee. Is this a scam? If so, can you stop them?
