In the 2nd U.S. Presidential "Town Hall" Debate, how many questions will there be from the audience?
I counted 12 different questions from the audience and internet. Here is list.
1. QUESTION: With the economy on the downturn and retired and older citizens and workers losing their incomes, what's the fastest, most positive solution to bail these people out of the economic ruin?
2. QUESTION: Well, Senators, through this economic crisis, most of the people that I know have had a difficult time. And through this bailout package, I was wondering what it is that's going to actually help those people out.
3. QUESTION: How can we trust either of you with our money when both parties got -- got us into this global economic crisis?
4. (Internet)Since World War II, we have never been asked to sacrifice anything to help our country, except the blood of our heroic men and women. As president, what sacrifices -- sacrifices will you ask every American to make to help restore the American dream and to get out of the economic morass that we're now in?
5. (Internet)Huge unfunded obligations for Social Security, Medicare, and other entitlement programs that will soon eat up all of the revenue that's in place and then go into a deficit position.
6. QUESTION: Sen. McCain, I want to know, we saw that Congress moved pretty fast in the face of an economic crisis. I want to know what you would do within the first two years to make sure that Congress moves fast as far as environmental issues, like climate change and green jobs?
7. QUESTION: Senator, selling health care coverage in America as the marketable commodity has become a very profitable industry.
8. QUESTION: Yes. Sen. McCain, how will all the recent economic stress affect our nation's ability to act as a peacemaker in the world?
9. QUESTION: Should the United States respect Pakistani sovereignty and not pursue al Qaeda terrorists who maintain bases there, or should we ignore their borders and pursue our enemies like we did in Cambodia during the Vietnam War?
10.(Internet)How can we apply pressure to Russia for humanitarian issues in an effective manner without starting another Cold War?
11. QUESTION: Senator, as a retired Navy chief, my thoughts are often with those who serve our country. I know both candidates, both of you, expressed support for Israel.
12. (Internet)What don't you know and how will you learn it?
