At Tuesday, President Obama also participated in a town hall meeting at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Va. Here are some snippets of the President Obama's comments in Virginia, "I understand that. Nobody volunteers and says, 'Boy, I’m just wild to pay more taxes'. But it’s a matter of values and what we prioritize. And I certainly don’t think my taxes should be even lower. That’s, I think America wants a smart government. It wants a lean government. It wants an accountable government. But we don’t want no government."
Besides about taxes, he also spoke about healthcare and gasoline prices. You can check the complete President Obama's comments at Los Angeles Times website.
