#HashOut on Location: What do you think Obamas most important second-term accomplishment should be?
By Baratunde Thurston | The Ticket 6 hrs ago
It was strange doing a HashOut On Location without a political convention credential hanging around my neck and military personnel visible on every corner. The conventions are long over, however, as is the entire election season, so I felt pulled out of retirement like some gritty bank heist protagonist for "one last gig" when Yahoo asked me to do a post-election segment.
We planted ourselves in Union Square in San Francisco, and allowed the personalities of that city to find us, and oh did they ever. Badge-wearing city workers, iPod-bearing students and Midwestern tourists all weighed in on the most important task for President Barack Obama during his second term as the smoke from a nearby marijuana cigarette wafted over us.
Most of the answers we got were what I would expect: "fix the economy," "do something about immigration reform," and "bring the country together" topped the list. The "Most Likely To Be A Republican" response came from an Atlanta woman who said, "He needs to stop playing golf, and learn about the economy." The "Most Effective Non-Response" response came from her husband who said the most important thing Obama needs to do is "do something important."
He's a poet, and didn't even know it.
What do you think Obama's most important second-term accomplishment should be? Weigh in via HashOut online, and congratulations America on another successful election.
