Follow the money out their polling wasn't scripted and there -- no teleprompters around to help mr.
President Obama when is confronted by angry Jennifer Waddell Jennifer demanded to know why her husband's been out of work.
For three years the entire length of time Obama spent in the White House take a look.
Jennifer I ask you what kind of engineer your your husband is -- today semiconductor engineer the C.
It is uninteresting to me and I'm not what I said it if you don't know semi or other drugs -- -- interest in finding out exactly.
What's happening right there because.
The word -- getting is is that somebody in that kind of high tech field that kind of engineer should be able to find something.
Right away.
OK send your husband's resume so instead of monster.com are out go out and maybe look for -- center right the president.
-- now is Jennifer Waddell and her husband Daryn.
Guys -- the first well let me just start with you Jennifer how did you get picked to be part of this town hall.
I -- well I don't really know what Google+.
You know sol in me I I never imagined ever that I haven't yet picked.
But you know I'm an -- -- Seaver morning to all the time I have a personal channel momma would -- And that's I'm always posting well -- and and things but down I just noticed a little red telephone beside the YouTube -- so.
Curiosity got me and I -- -- and it brought up the White House page and explain done the interview.
So I just submitted a question and I got a call Friday in Google said -- it.
-- -- submitted a question and they know what you're gonna ask is that good demand -- properly.
Google did Obama did not.
And you know and I obviously I didn't know at all that he would respond the way he did act I think I rehearsed it in my head a thousand times but it did not go how I.
Rehearsed it all right -- -- -- down did you send the resume in.
Absolutely within that same day they asked for it and did have you heard back from the White House.
We did actually we heard yesterday from deputy chief of staff of operations from the White House that they have my -- mine and -- -- -- -- -- to employers in the Dallas Fort -- area.
So we're very happy about that.
By Jennifer I'm gonna stay with your -- for a second -- some -- a skeptic you know I come from Chicago or politics is.
Is pretty dirty.
You -- is submitted your question you happen to be picked mr.
Obama says oh by the way.
Yeah we can find -- jobs in your resume -- it sounds a little scripted to me.
I promise you -- was not we did have -- Purcell before but it was not with Obama.
And it basically the six participants there was probably one that used Google+.
The rehearsal that we did on Sunday before the interview Monday.
Was strictly to learn about the hanging out because none of this to use Google+ -- four and obviously -- having an interview with the president.
So there's going to be had that Google has to make sure that this goes right so they wanted to can educate us on Google+ and how that the hanging out.
Was gonna go down but fed president had no idea.
Okay.
Unless of course we will tell the president what what was going up but let -- -- -- assist.
Do you plan and voting for President Obama.
Well I mean just because he has.
You know Darren basically has you know bomb as a reference says is not gonna sway our -- the real issue.
-- you know is is H one being -- -- I'm I've been getting emails from our regular Americans since all of this is kind of taken off and they are and the same exact position.
MI has been is CN and I really feel like you know if there's any avenue -- weekend's search for jobs whether it's for it the educated -- not.
And we need to go that route and that -- with the H one -- in the government has not changed.
Since even before the downturn in the economy so.
I think you know things need to be looked at again especially with that we just want to raise awareness for the H one B Visa program down.
Before -- you -- -- -- only a few more seconds here but are you planning on voting for the present especially if you find your job.
You know that's -- on.
You know like like my wife said I'm just one American.
I think if president -- mom work to seriously look at the H one B program.
And possibly look in the getting that re scaled that would definitely sway my vote -- all right guys thank you so much for joining us today Jennifer and generally don't -- you.
