Along with expertly handling personal problems of the people, Obama answered a barrage of political and economical questions.

One of the most notable exchanges during the chat was when participant Jennifer Wedel of Texas, whose husband has had trouble finding permanent employment for the past three years, interrupted him. The President handed the situation calmly and asked the lady to 'send me your husband's resume'. He added that, 'The word we're getting is somebody in that high tech field should be able to find something right away,' reports msnbc.com.
