We had a great town hall meeting today with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack. He spent an hour and a half taking questions after making some opening remarks.
I’ve uploaded the whole session for your listening pleasure. He really hammered Congress for not passing a farm/food/jobs bill and addressed a number of other topics as the audience asked questions.

After the town hall meeting the Secretary visited with the press. I got a couple questions in on that session. He was asked if he’d stay on as Secretary if President Obama wins re-election but kind of dodged it, calling it a complicated question. He says he has the best job in the world.
