After Obama's speech on immigration, pretty amazing WH roundtable

I enjoyed watching this more than I thought I would; the questions were very "real" and so are the answers. It brought me up to speed on the different angles on immigration reform -- and Cecilia Munoz rocks . Very well versed and well-spoken.

Yesterday afternoon, just a couple hours after the President's speech, we held a first-of-its-kind event here at the White House -- maybe anywhere? -- in which we took questions from the public on every side of the immigration debate. We hosted Cecilia Muñoz, White House Director of Intertgovernmental Affairs and one of the President’s closest advisors on the issue, along with representatives from online media outlets examining several angles of the immigration issue will be there posing the questions on the minds of their readers. Forbes, which focuses on business and economic issues; the Examiner.com network which has citizen reporters in every state including more than 50 border state communities; CNET which focuses on the tech community; and Univision.com, which has covered the immigration debate as closely as anybody for years -- all of them came with questions directly from their readers.

1. How really nice, QA, that the Obama admin

gets into all the angles of what is possible right now to make the future happen as they envision.

Thanks for the heads up on Cecilia Munoz~

2. Hey Cha, watching this, I really got the sense that --

-- the Obama admin is serious about holding themselves accountable that the White House is not there to do the bidding of "power" but to be ever cognizant of the interests of the voters who put them there. (And even of the voters who didn't put them there!)
