“You don't see politicians take fault too often, and it was refreshing to hear him take on some of the blame. For him to say that he didn't communicate the health care issue better, I think that was good. ” - Gary Ficken, owner of Bimm Ridder Sportswear, Cedar Rapids
Support for small businesses is important and people realize that it remains a pretty big struggle ... glad to hear he wants to help but I'd like to see results.” - Roger Vogel, owner of City Meat Market, Cedar Rapids
“I just graduated and I'm looking for a job, and I'm still upset about not being able to find one, but my confidence has gone up after tonight.” - Ruhee Arora, University of Iowa graduate, Iowa City
