Health Care —–>President Obama urges congress not to walk away from health care. Will it($) reach record heights? Good Politics. He took on health care because of the stories he heard. He will not walk away from those americans he will help them. It will strengthen medicare for seinors. Would reduce our debts will not dig us out of a massive hole which we are in. We will eliminate programs that dont work. He will continue tax cuts for oil companies.
Unemployment/Jobs —-> President Obama says he gets letters from children asking when their parents will go back to work. He wants to help americans who have become unemployed. He cuts taxes, he doesn’t raise income taxes on a single dime. Lay a new foundation for long term economic growth.
Forign Policy/ War Terror —-> Germeny, China, ect. are making clean energy because they want those jobs. Didnt say much about it?????
Energy/ Enviornment/ Global Warming/ Dependence on forign oil/ Economy —-> President Obama hated the bailouts of the banks. Recovery act known as stimulous bill cuts taxes and saves jobs. We should start in small buisnesses. A srong heathy financial buisness. Safe clean nuclear plants policy. Sink new markets competitively.

President Obama wants to make healthcare more affordable for the american families. He wants to make sure that all americans have health care for all types of health care needs. He wants to use a trillion dollars of the money the banks paid back to the government to help fund or support healthcare costs.
President Obama wants to make government spending more transparent and accountable to the american people by having a separate website for congress to disclose their spending. He wants by 2011 to freeze government spending to help reduce the deficit. The purpose of the freeze is make our govenment accountable and more responsible to helping pay back to the national debt.
President Obama is wanting a Job’s bill to get people back to work. Wants tax incentives for small and large businesses to keep jobs in the USA. He wants to raise the tax and imports and increase the amount of exported goods. He wants jobs to focus on clean energy and solar power and wind power. He wants the jobs that went to other countries shut down and coe back to the USA to support our own country. Rebate for homeowners to switch over to more enery efficient products.
President Obama was the Iraqi government to take over its own county by June of 2011 and end the war and bring all of our troops home. He wants all americans to have a good attitude to all of the troops when they come back home. He wants to prevent other countries who are producing nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists. He wants the production of the nuclear weapons reduced or eliminated.
President Obama spoke to the american people about what he wants and expects to happen during his administration. He realizes that he can not do it by himself and is calling on both parties to set aside differences to get the job done.
President Obama wants to create more jobs like in a fast railroad, and he is going to Florida today to talk about one that goes from Tampa to Orlando. He aslo is putting a 3 year spending freeze. Make more loans available to small businesses and make tax cuts on capital gains for small businesses. In the military he says we need to support them in war and when they come home, and that we need to reverse the law that says that they can’t be in the military if they are gay. The only thing I heard him say about healthcare was that he didn’t want it to fail now. On foreign policy he says that we are in an agreement with Russia to have a treaty with them on arms control. And that Iran should face growing concequeses if they keep up making their nuclear arms. And we must secure all of our boarders and make good immigration laws.
Health Care:
We still need health insurance reform. The reform would give the chance to everyone to get health care. Mrs. Obama is trying to get kids healthier so they are not so obese. President Obama doesn’t want Congress to walk away from the reform because we are so close. The reform would also reduce defecate.
Unemployment/Jobs:
1 in ten Americans still cannot find work. 2 million Americans right now would rather be unemployed. 1 and a half million more jobs by the end of this year because of tax cuts, and Stimulence Bill. The economy is starting to build back up. But there are also downfalls because some people don’t know where there next pay check will come from. President Obama wants jobs to be the number 1 concern in 2010. President Obama wants there to be a bill tonight! Companies are ready to grow. Also wants money from banks on Wall St. to give money to the small businesses to “keep them afloat”. We should put Americans to work building greener and environmentally friendly buildings. There will be a lot more clean energy jobs. We need to export more goods to support jobs in America, over the next 5 years we will have 2x more exports which will create 2 million jobs. We will loose the chance to create jobs on our shores if we don’t.
Foreign Policy/War Terror:
Open up more trades with other countries. We are increasing our troops in Afghanistan, to finish the job and bringing them home from Iraq. We will have all of our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of October. The war in Iraq is ending and all of our troops are coming home. He seeks a world without nuclear weapons. We our helping Haiti to recover and re-build.
Energy/Environment/Global Warming/Dependence on Foreign Oil:
We should put Americans to work building more green and environmentally buildings and give rebates to people who have green homes to promote green living. President Obama is concerned about our economy. We need to make sure families have information on financial things. There will be a lot more clean energy jobs. Also wants cleaner nuclear factories. Clean energy will become a big thing in America. There lots of new ways to have cleaner energy.
