I got to watch the whole thing & even though I'm not a financially minded person I was able to follow along. Really good stuff, I hope that we don't dig ourselves into a bigger hole with the infrastructure spending (we really need infrastructure upgrades) that the Obama administration is planing on.

I found your presentation on 1/8/2009 to be very thought provoking and recommended that you be invited back. I was one of the nameless faces that asked for your card after the briefing. I read your comments about the AV problems in the amphitheater and they were not apparent except when you pointed them out.Your theme was right-on with the objective of the threat day session. I hope the new Administration will be listening and talking to you at the highest level. It would be great if you would post your new slide presentation with audio on your blog.

I understand what D Blair is saying. I am also very concerned about obamas spending. However, he was elected to make the promises happen. All the constiguants should relealize that and figure out a way to make it happen. Even if that means we don't build one extra fighter airplane that cost 50 billion dollars. Make 50 instead of 100. The economy has changed the way internet is. For me that is huge since I am a web based programmer. So we need people to confortable about the economy. Increase wages, Lower Expenses, and actually have money to spend that isn't on credit cards.
