7. Afghanistan question from USA Today
about ordering additional troops
60 days of work to do, a report will be presented to Obama for him to decide what to do
Didn't press Harper for additional troops just complimented Canada and their troops and made sure he said Thank You

8. optimistic that they have a partner in climate change
Obama, on both sides we can make our economies more energy efficient
very grateful for the relationship with Canada largest energy supplier
two wealthy countries it's important to show leadership in this area
no silver bullets, sharing ideas, research
my expectation, dialogue will take us in the right direction
the more we can coordinate, and with Mexico, the more we can show leadership,hopefully we can draw in India and China
we think we can benefit by listening and sharing ideas.
