Editor's Note: After last night's AC360°, many of you wrote in to say that you were excited about the prospect of change with this new administration. Some of you think that former President Bush’s trickle-down economy did not work and hope that President Obama tries out a trickle-up economic approach. Many of you wrote to say that you enjoyed the sneak peek of the Air Force One National Geographic special. We also heard from those of you who appreciated Erica Hill and David Gergen's postings on the AC360° blog – making it a truly interactive show. What's your take?

Love the Air Force One sneak peek. Will DVR it most likely. Great contemplative pictures of President Obama by the photographer..........

The Republicans have tried the 'top down' method for the last 8 years and look where it has gotten us? The more the top got, the greedier they got. The people have spoken – it's time to give Obama's plan a chance by approving the proposed economic recovery plan that combines bottom up and top down! Go, Obama!

I have a feeling this man has the potential to be great. I am an Independent, Ex-Democrat, but I really like the way this man handles himself, so far. I could care less about the lack of experience. How much experience does it take to think, and make the right decision? This man is an educated man. I could care less what his race is.

I've enjoyed watching AC360° for some time. Tonight, for the first time, I watched and read the blog postings as they came in. This kind of public participation is great. I appreciate that David Gergen and Erica Hill also post to the conversation, to truly make it interactive....

As a supporter of Mr. Obama, I sit here confused and somewhat angry while I watch CNN's coverage the political statements by the Democrats and Republicans. Basically, I don't think they get it. Average people are suffering in this country; jobs are being lost, and new ones are nowhere to be found. As a recent Social Work graduate, I have been actively searching for a job (any job at this point!) for over a month, and haven't had one phone call on the dozens of applications and resumes I've sent out. The haggling over the size of the stimulus package is, once again, politics hindering the best interests of the American people. As the politicians HAVE jobs, I guess the size and scope of our problems escape them...
