..we've got to make sure the economic stimulus plan is large enough to get the economy moving.... we need to be rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels" along with building "fuel-efficient cars and alternative energy technologies that can free America from dependence on foreign oil..." (District Chronicles, 2008).
Autos) the multi-billion dollar line of credit that Congress is expected to pass to help the auto industry survive has Obama's support, but he insisted the bailout be "tied to a reinvention and streamlining...and hold the industry's feet to the fire." In other words, the day of the gas-guzzling SUV may be on the way out, and hybrids will be in.
Banks) Obama said that his administration will launch a "strong set of new financial regulations, in which banks, ratings agencies, mortgage brokers...will start having to be more accountable and behave much more responsibly" (New York Times).
Technology) in Obama's radio address last Saturday he insisted that "It is unacceptable that the United States ranks 15th in the world in broadband adoption...every child should have the chance to get online and they'll get that chance when I'm president."
Conclusion) the Obama-Biden plan for the U.S. economic recovery is spelled out in great detail on Obama's Web site. One, "Immediate action to create good jobs"; two, "immediate relief for struggling families"; three, immediate assistance for homeowners but not a bailout for irresponsible mortgage lenders"; and four, a rapid, aggressive response to our financial crisis using all the tools we have." (Final plea) I urge you all to be part of the solution. Install low-wattage light bulbs, conserve electricity, help others in your neighborhoods and stay on top of the news - it's your country...
But I'm dead serious when I say it's a dog-eat-dog economy out there right now. Get a good education and prepare yourselves for your future. And thank you very much for listening!

Obama and Reagan Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama Point-by-Point There are parallels between the presidency of Ronald Reagan and Barak Obama. The similarities between the leaders make for an uncomplicated comparison; however, the differences provide greater explanatory power. Barak Obama has been credited with some of the stellar qualities of Ronald Reagan. There oratory skills are comparable and they were both popular at the beginning of their terms. Reagan became a republican icon.
S. The societal system practiced in France serves as a model towards which the U.S. aspire. President Barack Obama's healthcare reform plan is considered by many as being a socialist experiment that will significantly hurt the economy (CBS, 2009). In opposition, the President has stated that he does not intend to implement a healthcare system that depends on the government. Instead, he would prefer a system in which the government competes
Steele's warning however appears to be negated by the fact of Obama's success. While there are indeed lapses in his discipline, these can be said to serve only as an indicator of Mr. Obama's humanity, connecting him more closely rather than alienating him from his followers. Other authors also point out some potentially problematic factors in Obama's campaign and policy issues. According to Gerring and Yesnowitz, for example, Obama has
Obama Care Plan Health care is undergoing a dramatic transformation and needless to say it is one of our largest industries that contribute handsomely to the Gross Domestic Product, greater demands are placed for the value of dollars that are being spent to provide for healthcare services to patients. Now-a-days, in this ever demanding environment marketing as a discipline is being practiced (Berkowitz, October 2010) In early days it was a great
Under such conditions, a withdrawal could be completed by 2010. It is my belief that neither candidate is in a position to manage the economic crisis. For instance, both have made energy independence a strong component of their policies, yet energy independence is a decade or two away. This is a noble long-term goal but will not address today's economic issues. McCain's economic ideologies are rooted in 20th century economic
Likewise, U.S. House of Representative George Miller (Democrat-California), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, emphasized, "A plan of this size was not easy to navigate, and it is not perfect. But I believe it's the best possible plan that could be reached swiftly, under challenging circumstances" (quoted in Dervarics 2009:6). Indeed, part of the president's approach to improving conditions for the business community are far-sighted and will
