My time with Obama in the Oval Office

During my time in the Oval Office, I would talk to Obama about topics regarding the following:

-When Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated, he immediately started working to fix the economy. I see you are working the same way. Although he had his New Deal plans to work off of, a lot of the short term resolutions he had thought of didn't quite last as long as he'd thought they would. How are your plans to fix the economy during this borderline depression similar to those of 32, and how are they different.

-In your economic plan, one of the main points you have been pushing was to work from the bottom up, starting with the lower middle class - a class that doesn't get much recognition. Some people have been speculating that you've been waging class warfare. How do you respond to this? How, now that you're the President of the United States, do you plan to change it, if you even plan on doing so?

My humani-homie, Rodrigo, and I came up with three options for our Design Principles.

1. "The Script"
  • A strict have set of questions (script) to obtain specific answers or similar answers from multiple different interviews.
  • Example: Michael J. Fox Inside the Actor's Studio, James Lipton


2. "With a bit of Bio"
  • This method gives a biographical introduction, on your final product, about the interviewee to the reader. (Includes quotes from lyrics, facts, historical events, etc.)
  • Example: Rollin' and Tumblin, "Saunders King", pag. 25 by Jas Obrechet
3. "Connecting"
  • The interviewers ask questions making connection to current events. The topics are related to recent facts and events.
  • Example: Katie Couric interviews Palin, youtube.com
