United States President Barack Obama effectively uses technology to communicate with Americans every step of the way. Here in Jamaica, Prime Minister Bruce Golding hosts a radio show on the last Wednesday of each month called Jamaica House Live.

But given the worsening global financial crisis, the Sunday Observer will give Jamaicans a chance each week to ask pertinent questions of various leaders. We start the series off with the prime minister.

The Sunday Observer will this week seek to get from Jamaica House an answer to the Question of the week which we will publish next Sunday.

If you had one question to ask the Prime Minister what would it be?
