Fifteen hundred LinkedIn users answered U.S Senator Barack Obama’s question on how the next president could help small business and entrepreneurs thrive. Since then he has become the Presidential Candidate of the Democratic party. In recent speeches Senator Obama has proposed a competitiveness agenda centered around “education and energy, innovation and infrastructure, fair trade and reform”.

Just earlier today, he posed his second question on LinkedIn Answers asking the 23 million professionals on LinkedIn what ideas they have to keep America competitive in the years ahead and in less than a day it has garnered over 400 answers.

If you’d like to see a more detailed exposition of Senator Obama’s thoughts on the competitiveness agenda check out the below video blogged by Scott Goodstein on the Obama Campaign’s Community blog.
