Clark Lovell: “Yes, I definitely approve of his agenda, especially the ones supporting our military, increased jobs and economy. His statements concerning fairness in income and taxes made sense to me and hopefully others.”

Brenda Brown: “Yes, I approve of his agenda, especially the ones concerning fairness in the areas of income and taxes.”

Zakea Jones: “Yes, I approve of his agenda because they were all based on the good of “the basic American” people as a whole.”

Eugene Russell: “I approved of the agenda he spoke about in the State of the Union address. I believe that he is trying to bring the country closer together as a people because of the topics he chose. He knows that we are still feeling the after-effects of the recession. So with an agenda (on) healthcare, 30% tax of the wealthiest people, and energy. He realizes the issues that still divide us and is trying to bring  the gap closer.”
