Photos: See the issues voters want addressed at the RNC Posted: 24 Aug 2012 09:00 AM PDT When President Obama assumed office, I was a manager earning $100,000 a year.

It isn't because I believe Republicans can actually create jobs. On the contrary -- I believe governments only build barriers to a strong business environment. Yet I will listen closely to each speaker and absorb the Republican plan regarding how they will stimulate an environment conclusive to hiring, particularly in the small business sector. For me and my family, it's all about one thing -- jobs. -- Robert Watkins, Lancaster, Pa., days unemployed: 518
