Would you like to see President Obama hold weekly "fireside chats?"

[Dennis Donovan]

Poll question: Would you like to see President Obama hold weekly "fireside chats?"

If so, what setting should he use? Oval Office? Roosevelt Room? East Room? Somewhere in the residence? Fire, or no fire?

1. He's already doing weekly video addresses.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. ...with a FIRE?

:D;)

[parasim]

4. I think he should do it in front of a greenscreen.

The you could put anything you wanted in there.

[alfredo]

21. Funny hats.

[Dennis Donovan]

23. Both greenscreen AND funny hats!

:thumbsup::rofl:

[alfredo]

24. Hell yes.

[Captain Hilts]

14. I think I'd shift these to once a month. nt

20. All presidents have had Saturday addresses, Obama added video.

I would like to see all 305,664,888 Americans invited for a Saturday afternoon ice cream social over the next four years.

7. How About Weekly Indictments and Trials?

4 Years' worth ought to do it, I think.

[Idealism]

8. I voted for Fireside chats only because I am near hypothermia

Bribery!

[Captain Hilts]

13. You must have gone to the inauguration. It was cold!

[Soylent Brice]

9. i picked yes with fire in background, but dammit i wanted to pick pie so very badly.

[Dogmudgeon]

10. Doing a good job will be enough for me

Chats are fine, but they're mainly symbolic.

I suspect President Obama will be quite active in maintaining informal contact with the public.

It's a new world.

--p!

11. No ... I think every 37 days is just right. No more often, No less often. EXACTLY 37 days.

:eyes:

[Captain Hilts]

12. NO!!! FDR didnt' have that many, actually. They were pretty rare.

Hence their large impact. Especially the one before the war where he asked everybody to get a map first.

Then there was the one from the Oval Office and he was surrounded by dignitaries. Someone wondered where Eleanor was and it ends up she was sitting on the floor behind his desk knitting.

[Fire1]

15. Weekly, is a bit much for me. Once a month would be sufficient.

[shintao]

16. Web Cam the Big Oval & Lets see our business being done!

I would like web cams 24/7, and let Obama go to another room for confidental meetings.

And YES, fireside chats with Obama & Biden explaining what the anchor-dragging Replugs are doing to block the peoples business with specific quaotes from these tyrants off the congress floor. Replugs are cowards when faced with the cameras.

[Contrary1]

17. Weekly may not be feasible...maybe monthly.

Scrap the fire, imo.

On edit: Where's the "I like fire" option?

[FloridaJudy]

18. I'd like to see a fire.

Just so Sasha and Malia can make s'mores. I'll even offer to bring the marshmallows.

19. No, it doesn't do much good

Using the internet to keep the network going is good though. And keeping the web page updated.

[gkhouston]

22. Depends. Do we get to vote for which Bush Administration person will be on the spit? n/t
