George Walker Washington, D.C. He really has to tackle immigration reform. We absolutely need to have a more balanced policy concerning immigrants. They’re [a large portion] of the workforce, and a lot of those in the brown and black communities are affected by it. I would also like to see new tax policies and reforms to close a lot of the current tax loopholes. I’m excited to see President Obama tackle these issues.
John Ferrell Washington, D.C. One of the biggest issues is the economy, and making sure that President Obama gets it under control. That’s the biggest issue for me, especially when dealing with the number of foreclosures in this area. I like what President Obama is doing with health care reform. I think it’s important that everyone has health care as it’s a wide safety net. Without it, a lot of people struggle financially and end up going bankrupt. Those are the two biggest issues I’d like to see him tackle.

WHAT ISSUES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA TACKLE DURING HIS SECOND TERM IN OFFICE?
Nicole Madhere Decatur, Ga. I’d like to see President Obama tackle Social Security, because I am now retired, and jobs and employment. Unemployment numbers are still high and a lot of people are not working. We also cannot afford to do away with Social Security. People like me have worked all their lives and have contributed to that system, and we’d like to see [the government] fulfill its promise of giving it back to us. These are the main issues for me.
Rudolph Chandler Washington, D.C. I’d like to see the president continue to work on economic recovery. He needs to continue to find a way with the Federal Reserve and the banks, to release more money into the economic system and create more jobs. I’d also like to see the president continue to work on foreign relations and see what better alliances the country can form to tackle some of the problems with global terrorism. Climate change and global warming are also issues I’d like to see him tackle.
Temilayo Izegbu Washington, D.C. I would like to see President Obama tackle the issue of jobs for the youth. I would like to see more training programs where individuals can learn and explore, and gain the tools needed to find jobs and succeed. If there were more resources in the neighborhoods, I think it would really make a positive impact on young people. I’d like to see the president push for more funding in these areas in his second term.
