The problem that Huntsman addressed in this interview was the deficit of trust here in the United States. He says that the people don't trust Congress, the Executive branch, or wall street because of banks that are too big to fail. He says that members of congress need term limits so they can "close the revolving door that allows members of congress to move right on into the lobbying profession. Another problem that was addressed was how Huntsman is going to get himself to the top of the Primary from where he is now, which is basically at the bottom.
          The result that can affect public policy is whether or not the people agree with Huntsman's beliefs that members of Congress need term limits and that someone has to take on banks who are too big to fail. Another result is how will Huntsman's strategy in basically forgetting about winning Iowa and putting a lot of his time in trying to come out around the top in New Hampshire is going to affect him as the race goes on.
          New information that i learned from this interview is that people want Congress members to have term limits and that the citizens of the United States really don't trust their government like they should. I could use this information by helping me decide on who would I want from the Republican side to run against Obama for the Presidency of the United States because it shows me how one person, Huntsman, acts towards getting things done if chosen president.
          The author doesn't really take a position, she just asked some general questions and listened to what John Huntsman had to say. The impact this article can have on the political arena today I don't think would be a very big one. Maybe, people would understand where Huntsman is coming from, and even other Republican candidates can add on to some things that Huntsman pointed out, in particular, their views on the deficit of trust in the United States.
