Obama asked online viewers to be patient with the work his administration is doing to revive the economy. Over one-hundred thousand questions were recorded on the White House web site, and viewers recorded over three and a half million votes for the most popular questions.

Obama said the online town hall meeting was an important step towards creating a broader avenue for information about his administration.
