CNN iReport: You Asked, the White House responds
Last week, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer sat down with President Barack Obama for an exclusive interview in Peosta, Iowa . Following that interview, many iReporters sent in the questions that they had for the president on topics ranging from the economy to jobs to political posturing. The iReport team didn’t want to leave those questions unanswered, so they sent the questions to the White House.
Take a look at the videos below to see the White House’s responses in entirety, along with the original question that was asked by the iReporter.
