The president will sign the economic recovery bill in my former hometown, at one of the best places ever: the Denver Museum of Science. The Denver Post asked ordinary Coloradans what they want President Obama to know. The submissions are heartbreaking, and very real. The realest:
MAX GUEST, 18, DENVER Unemployed. Formerly a baker. "I'm curious to know how you are going to incorporate the unemployed into the stimulus. I'm broke as hell right now. I have $10 in my bank account. I've been out of work since October. No one is hiring. I just dropped off 30 applications today."
Make it plain, Max.
