As Barack Obama prepares for his first official day of the presidency, what is the work that lies ahead? When we asked people at Union Station this morning, the state of the economy was at the forefront.

But what would you say should be at the top of the agenda?  What creative ideas can you contribute to solve the issues facing the nation? 

George Ranney, CEO and president of the business-backed civic agency, Metropolis 2020, joins us to talk with our listeners about what lies ahead for our 44th President.
