The Global Town Hall Meeting 

VOA broadcast a special two-hour Web-TV-radio discussion of President Barack Obama's first 100 days in office. We examined what the Obama administration has (or has not) accomplished so far, with an emphasis on international relations -- in particular outreach to the Muslim community, Europe, Cuba, and North Korea – and, of course, the world economy.

You can add your comments to a forum on Obama's first 100 Days - please share your thoughts on the president's performance -- or this program.
