Public forums

The problem with politicians is that the higher they go, the more they lose touch with the general population. The more successful they are, the more they take for granted.

Many conspiracy theories fanned by conservatives have their basis in the 'secret shadows and dark rooms'  involving unelected bureaucratic officials - decisions are made away from prying public eyes and outside of the control of taxpayers. Secretly and quietly Obama is making our country a socialist regime.

If President Obama could do one thing to dis-spell this concern, it would be to hold public summits with very people he already meets with. Sure, hold your private discussions first, but then schedule time in front of the CSPAN cameras for anyone who is interested to watch.

This open forum would go a long way towards improving public support for initiatives and policies.
