This should be made MANDATORY for all future president's!

Had an idea last week after listening to more of the bullshit: greed, Iraq, greed, wages, greed, healthcare... You get the picture.

My idea is that from here on out, every president elected to office should HAVE to sit down each & every week with an average Joe, FRANKLY discussing average Americans' problems. Ya know, like greed, Iraq, greed, wages, greed, healthcare... once again, you get the picture.

I want future president's to have to listen to the average Joe who has little or no healthcare, like the gentleman at the AFL-CIO debate at Soldier Field. I want them to listen to the agonies of seniors who can't afford their meds to keep them ALIVE. I want him/her to listen to the person who STILL can't afford their bills working 3 p/t jobs, after losing their better f/t job to outsourcing because some rich asshole CEO wants to become more of a rich asshole CEO.

WE have to make the administration's sit up and listen because WE pay their salaries. WE are the deciders, not them!!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw: Thanks to Blackhatjack for posting this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1826366. It made me remember that I had this idea to post for discussion.

1. And it needs to be broadcast live on radio AND television

so America can see if the president is just humoring the average Joe, or actually listening and caring.

2. Crap, I forgot to include that.

I was thinking the same thing because you know if it wasn't broadcast, then it would be all smoke and mirrors in the media.

3. And it can't be aired on FOX, unless it airs on every other channel.

But even then, it still shouldn't be allowed to be aired on FOX, and they shouldn't be allowed to offer commentary on it.

4. Who gets to decide who "Average Joe" is?

Each individual's problems differ greatly from other people.
