My topic was Renewable Energy, Obama would like to make a market based cap on pollution and if companies do not comply with pollution standards, they would have to pay a fine. Obama's plans to completely revolutionize this country with renewable energy that does not pollute the atmosphere.i believe that Obama can restore this nation and make it more powerful than ever before. Renewable energy is within out grasp, is just takes a brilliant mind, with a leader willing to perform an experiment that may solve all of our problems.

Sounds like this town was completely destroyed by sum huge hurricane, and many peoples lives were taken and hurt. Tha town came together and put tha GREEN back in Greensburg. Federal help was sent and now tha town is back to normal but even better looking and a better environment according to tha citizens of Greensburg. Tha residents have created jobs, business, and most of all success in a place where rubble layed everywhere. People thought it was hopeless but obviously anything is possible. Andrew J aka Big Red

ReplyDeleteObama doesnt want us to ignore the foes that can cause harm to us in the future. He wants to strengthen old alliance and build new ones. Restore confidence in the financial system. The world depends on us to have a strong economy, and they are waiting for us to lead them.

"Transfer wealth to the wealthy"
ReplyDeleteHe said that the surplus just widened the gap between the poor and wealthy .Obama is talking about reviving the economy by making new jobs and investing in health care and education.

Afghanistan and Pakistan
ReplyDeleteAnkur Singh
Obama wants to protect Afghanistan and Pakistan from the terrorist. He wants to send more troops to Afghanistan. He wants to send about 17,000 troops to Afghanistan. He also honors the troops who were there at the speech. He also wants to raise their pay and increase their benefits. He also mentions that United States of America does not torture, he meant Guantanamo Bay.
My topic was Accounting on Spending. I think that President Obama made the right choice on withdrawing the troops form Iraq and Afghanistan. He said that their is no hiding on the truth of how much we are spending on the war. Upon withdrawal we will save a considerable amount of money, and we are one step closer to solving this economic crisis.
ReplyDeleteMikhail D.
Well, what Mr Obama was saying was that we need to be more responsible that we're spending too much money on things that we know we cannot hold, his example was on houses that are being foreclosed. He also states that we need to pull ourselves together for the future. Obama said that we keep on creating debts rather then paying it off and we keep getting into economic crisis. When we should be more careful that we keep spending more then we need to pay back. I agree with him when he says that, "Our children will be competing for jobs..." because in our economic crisis we might as well be, knowing even most of the adults will be getting laid off. In conclusion more Americans should be more responsible with their jobs and we should try to pay off all debts before getting into more crisis such as energy renewal and many other things that may cost more.

Reassuring American Manufacturers
ReplyDeleteI think that the loss of money and jobs in heavy polluting companies and manufacturers is inevitable, if he continues with his plan. But the funding for alternative fuel sources will also creates hundreds of jobs. I think that it was important to say that the jobs will be there. But the prospect of losing any job at all at right now is distressing to lots of Americans. I don't really agree that the jobs have to be lost, but the plan will also create lots of jobs as well. So even though it sucks, it'll get better eventually and for a long time as well.

The topic I was given today was Helping Detroit. Although the home of the world's first, along with America's first car, is requesting $17 billion along with $21 billion, its crucial to support our auto industry. It has been cloudy on how the Obama party is going to react to the request but things are looking high for GM & Chrysler.
ReplyDelete"I'm here on TV saying that i've messed up" obama said, "and that's part of the era of responsibility."
ReplyDeleteThat is a direct quote from President Barack Obama, and it truly shows his responsibility of his own actions. Earlier in his election, Tom Daschle was accused of not paying his taxes correctly. Mr. Obama was backing Tom. Alas, Barack finally chose (along with legsilation) to kick Mr. Daschle out. He has now taken full responsibility for his actions, and admits that he shouldn't have backed Tom Daschle while he wasn't paying his taxes. During all this mess, President Obama was telling US citizens to be responsible, while Tom wasn't.
Justifying the Bank Bailout
ReplyDeleteI agree with the plans that Obama is making to help the banks help us. In his speech he mentioned how the banks are afraid to lend out any more money because of all the bad loans that are already out there, but that with the stimulus money they can help the banks create new lending funds so people can start buying cars, paying for college, and paying for houses again. I also agree that we need to really clean up the credit crisis like he said because it also contributes to the lack of money going around. I'm hoping that this time around the banks will act more responsibly and help the people rather than have luxurious parties and give out bonuses.

Housing & Responsibility
ReplyDeleteRachel Crow
I'm glad Obama is taking action about foreclosures. My family is in the process of buying a house that has been foreclosed and it's ridiculous the amount of houses we were able to choose from. Even our next door neighbors had their house foreclosed and nobody saw it coming. If the plan works it could help about 9 million Americans, which is a great amount. I also like how he mentions that the plan won't help the irresponsible homeowners who bought their houses knowing they couldn't afford it. The only problem is that it's hard to tell who knew they bought a house out of their budget. Overall I like the idea of the plan and hope it works.
Halving The Deficit:President Barack Obama pledge to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term in office. It will include a 10 year project of spending and revenues. Mr. Obama’s last year of his term in 2013 will show more that $1 trillion falling to $533 billion for fiscal. I think that halving the deficit will slowly help our economy.

ReplyDelete"Police In Minneapolis"
In this part of the speech, President Obama stated that the grants for the Federal Recovery Act saved 57 job in Minneapolis. I think it was a very good plan for the streets of Minneaplois. What i am wondering is if the Recovery act helped any other states besides Minneapolis. It seems like that state is the only one who benefited.

"3.5 Million Jobs"
In Mr. Obama's speech he mentioned that he was going to supply the U.S. with many important aspects that have brought us to this crisis today. Many people have lost jobs, mainly the middle class citizens. now president Obama is promising to create jobs and go from 800,000 to 2.5 millions jobs on the last quarter of 2009 and create jobs from 1.2 million jobs to 3.5 million jobs in the last quarter of 2010
President Obama is asking the congress to creat a cap-and-trade program to restrict the output of green house gases and create a market for emissions permits. This would cost $100 billion a year to renew all the energy bills. This is all going to help our weather because a lot more people are going to be able to pay for the "green" technology.

22. 2 trillion dollars in savings. Ariana sepulveda. i think its great that our president is eliminating certain pieces of legislation, based in education, the war in Iraq, and tax, that aren't doing any good. These eliminations will, in the long run, save us money--a purposed $2000000000000 .
ReplyDeleteObama was talking about the premiums were growing four times faster than wages in last eight years. And people are losing their jobs and house. I think the government should give out more jobs chance to community or rise the wages for workers.
ReplyDeleteCalvin Wang
My topic that I was given today was to "transfer wealth to the wealthy". President Obama is referring to the cuts in the individual income taxes that Bush had made. After inheriting an extra amount of money from the Clinton admin. of 5.6 trillion over the next 10 years. Obama wants to keep taxes the same for those who make under 250,000 a year and those who make more will be receiving more taxes.

ReplyDeleteThis is talking about the Obama's 3pioritys including energy, education, and health care. He wants to start using solar panels and other things to save and reuse energy. He is making college avaibly for 7million more students. We have the highest drop out rate so he is try to stop that because over75% of our jobs needs over a high school degree. He is making medical care avaibly to more people.He is also trying to make our medical records electricent.

Overall, in this part of the speach Obama gave some exmaples of how to change the economy, in the big picture. I think his ideas and in the long run I think this plan should work and it makes sense. He talked about the government helping the banks and how it would eventually make jobs for people. I have hope that this plan will work, I think it is a really good plan. I think overall our economy will change and for the beter.
Obama wants to get rid of all these ozone-destroying fuels, and use renewable energy. Seems to me he's invested the right amount of time into this as to try and reverse, or at least HALT the destroying of what the world is going through. Obama has also tied it into the economical depression. I believe a little bit of higher taxes to the upper-class, will pay off for everyone.

Within this speech, the president Barack Obama has promised to put more people back to work. His reasoning for the things that hes doing is that if he does not take action, nothing will happen. When nothing happens, we get into a bigger rut, a bigger hole, a bigger mess, with more and more jobs lost. The recovery and reinvestment act is now in process. This speech is very convincing to me, i'm not sure if its just because hes a great public speaker, but he gives me much confidence in him. My head is making me think that the economy is going toward a better place.
While the line may suggest specific spending cuts, most of savings reflect reduced spending from ending the war in Iraq and higher revenues from letting the Bush tax cuts for the rich lapse after 2010, as scheduled under law. - Jackie Calmes
ReplyDeleteI agree with this since it cuts off the spending limits for the war in Iraq, since we are wasting money on that and forgetting the problems here in United States. Fortunate though, we have to wait till 2010 until this can actually be prevented..

Iraq Withdrawal
ReplyDeleteObama talks about how he wants to make Iraq withdrawal. He wants to leave the Iraq people to their own ways and let them live their own ways. He even wants to withdrawal all combat brigades from Iraq within 16 months. Leaving Iraq to its people and responsibly ending this war. We will all be able to move on and not have to worry about this war and our people out there.

ReplyDeleteEarly Health Measures
ReplyDeleteObama made a report about how the congress passed a bill that would help support 11 million American children with both parents working full time. I think this is a good for to help the future of health care in america.
- cody
Basically, Obama says people everywhere, make bad decisions. Going into this recession, we have pushed automakers into a corner. We shouldn't protect them from their poor choices but we are committed to the goal of a brand new auto industry that will improve and succeed, because millions of jobs depend on it, and communities depend on it. Being the nation that invented the automobile, we shouldn't run away from this goal. I believe by improving our auto industry, we will create more job opportunities and help out our economy one small step at a time.

'Inherited' Deficit
ReplyDeleteEduardo Martinez
Block 3
President Obama's plan to help our 'inherited' deficit seems very well thought out, mainly because he is being practical in what he wants to do. Using the resources he will get available to the government, he will try to help key components of the $1.2 trillion deficit that will bring back more money to further bring the deficit down. As he put it, he will not be able to help all, but he can do what he can to help what can be used to further help. I feel good about this idea because, unlike what a large number of the population might think, he will not be able to help everyone and everything right away. It's going to take several years and concentration on individual areas before anyone can really be affected in a positive way.
At a fiscal summit, Obama pledged to half the U.S. deficit by the end of his first term in office. He states that his administration has already begun going line by line investigating the federal budget, in order to eliminate wasteless and ineffective programs.

JUSTIFYING THE BANK BAILOUT
ReplyDeleteI believe Obama is doing the only thing he can do for the banks. He is giving them money to lend Americans loans. Its a good idea because times are rough and we need money to lend but what if all the Americans that take the new loan cannot pay it back? Wouldn't it make our credit crisis even worse aswell as our banks being even more afraid of loaning money. Just a thought.
-Anthony Symonds
Hello my name is Kyle Hill and i did Farm Subsidies and obama said that he will end large payments to large agribusiness who do not need the money!!! I agree with that as long as it follows through becuase that can only help the money deficit we face now in the United States.
ReplyDeletePremiums Versus Wages"
ReplyDeleteBasically, in the last eight years... premiums have increased four times more faster than wages. From the year 2000-2008, the premium of family has doubled, to $12,680 from $6,438. The average weekly earnings for private non agricultural industries rose a bit more this following year, by twenty-five percent.

My topic was the Hatch-Kennedy Bill and it refers to the "Serve American Act." He proposes that education policies will open the doors and create new opportunities for future education. he also talks about how education should not only be taught in school, but also at home. President Obama is very convincing and I am very confident in his future actions for our country today. I do agree that education should also be at home and to take education more seriously because it builts up our future, not only for us, but for our children. With these priorities set in his agenda, I hope that America will prosper in many ways with President Obama.
President Obama briefly spoke to the nation about modernization. Making government buildings and low-income homes more energy efficient would create thousands of new jobs and contribute to the nation's energy conservation efforts. Investing in updating power/electrical grids and building infrastructure is a wise investment. However, it will come into question as to its level of the nation's priority, as compared to education and healthcare. Modernization is a process that Obama thinks would be a wise investment in America's future.
ReplyDeleteThe topic I got was The First Bailout. President Obama spoke on the bailout of the banks. He talked about how it wasn't time for the banks in this crisis, its time for the people, the citizens. He made us visualize a young family being able to afford a house one day. He explained that we the country need to help. He let us know it wont be easy. Well have to spend a little money but all we need is hope and trust and well one day arise above and stand as a UNTIED COUNTRY AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteI think its about time we have a president that wants to restore the trust within our country.

Electronic Medical Records
ReplyDeleteObama wish to make that electronic medical record required for doctors participating in Medicare. By doing this, it could save the federal government $7 billion dollars, reduce errors and keep privacy. He also wants to have a cure for cancer by the end of this generation.As well a reforms in the health car system to make it easier to afford health care. As for my position of whether this should is yes. I will be starting college and will have to if I don't go right away, provide my own heath care and this plan will allow me to spend one free year before starting school again.

ReplyDelete18. Electronic Medical Records
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how President Obama will make Electronic Medical Records mandatory. The result will be the saving of $7 billion dollars. It will also reduce errors and keep privacy. He is also planning on finding a cure for cancer. I think most of what he is saying about electronic medical records will not be followed through.
-Micha Tupas Block4
My first topic was on Justifying the Bank Bailout. In Obama's speech he talks about how if the rich don't start lending their money it will be impossible to recover. He said that too many bad loans have messed up credit and now the banks are in debt and are scared to lend out money and that's why credit has rised. One thing he wants to do is create a new lending fund to help provide loans for small businesses, colleges, and auto places. I think Obama's plan will work and the banks and companies will get the money they need.
ReplyDeleteThe second topic was on Iraq Withdrawl. Obama wants to responsibly end the war and leave Iraq to it's people. Obama said he wants to get our troops out of Iraq in the next 16 months. He wants to forge a new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan to get rid of the terrorists that are threatening the United States of america. I think this plan is good because it's time that our troops leave Iraq because it's pointless for them to put themselves in danger when the terrorist group Al Qaeda is in Afghanistan. Overall I think President Obama's plans will work.

Universal Savings Accounts
ReplyDeleteobama is saying that we should open an account for social security and medicare. for our personal uses. i think this a really good idea. something might come up and you might not have any money for your health care so you can use this extra savings account to help you. this is a really great idea for everyone in the u.s to have. Obama is really trying to help and improve this country.
Iran
I agree with obama. i believe we should have confidence in our country as well as ourselves. Terrorist attacks are big these days so i think we should just try and forget and be careful about thee situations. we should be more aware of these countries as well as their sister countries. I think we will never be at peace with this country, and we should be very cautious of their every move.
the first bailout
ReplyDeleteI think his plan is good for the people. I think this plan should work. He did not want to help out the banks but instead he wanted to help out people with small businesses. He wants to help people by helping them live better. I think that its a good idea and i think he will make it work.

Modernization
ReplyDeleteThe stimulus package contains some $11 billion to modernize the nation's electrical grid, including the construction of roughly 2,000 miles of new transmission lines. But it takes years to get approvals for power lines, so "soon" is a relative term here. The package also includes nearly $10 billion to make low-income homes and government buildings more efficient so that should create thousands of jobs.
So basically Obama wants to modernize things to save money and maybe he'll change the way energy is used...solar energy....??? WIND POWER????? Whatever he's going to do he better do them right! Modernization is the way! We hope that a lot of new jobs are created, that'll also help all these jobless americans! YEA!
ashley davenport & mitchell tarrar
The first topic in Obama's speech that I was given was Housing and Responsibility. In this portion of his speech, he talks about how he is going to help as many as 9 million people living in America avoid foreclosure. He makes sure we are aware that he is not going to help those who have been irresponsible and gotten themselves into bad situations. I feel this could be a very good thing, because it won't let the actions of all the irresponsible Americans put every American who HAS been responsible in a hole. It will help the people who have been effected by other people's actions.
ReplyDeleteThe second topic I was given was Afghanistan and Pakistan. In this portion of his speech he states that his budget will enable him to send 17,000 troops to Afghanistan to fight against the efforts of the Al Qaeda in making their attacks on the United States. He doesn't want terrorists to have 'safe havens' to plot against us. I feel his intentions are good, but I really don't see the point in trying to bring the troops home from Iraq and then sending 17,000 of them out again. I believe having the troops home for a extended period of time would provide relief to Americans. There are other ways to prevents terrorist attacks aside from sending more Americans away from their families when they have already been away for so long, thanks to Bush.

$2 Trillion Savings
ReplyDeletei think President Obama's plan for his $2 trillion savings is good for our economy and for the future generations. he plans to cut the deficient in half by his first term in office by cutting back on useless programs that have no use for us. such as the no contract bill in iraq when and playing agrifarmers and do most importantly by giving less tax breaks to the rich and more to the poor. by ending the war in iraq we would cut our spending and possibly our revenues would go up as well.

Reassuring American Manufacturers
ReplyDeleteIf American manufacturers were to make renewable energy parts as Obama plans, we could spend less money on making electric or hybrid cars because we would not have to import the parts. While these companies will be charged more because of greenhouse emissions, they will be able to spend less on production. I agree that this is a good plan not only for the companies, but for the country in general. We will be able to spend less money on hybrid and electric cars because they will cost less to make, and if more people are able to buy these cars, driving will not harm the environment as much and America can become cleaner. Furthermore, if all or at least most of the parts from these cars are American-made, more of the money will stay in the United States instead of to other countries.

CAP-and-TRADE
ReplyDeleteI think that President Obama is smart for wanting to start a program that will restrict the output of green house gases and create a market for emissions permit it may cost a lot to do this but then our O-zone layer wont keep deteriorating and maybe we can strengthen it. Also the weather will then start to not be so hot and it will become more "normal".

Farm subsidies
ReplyDeleteObama is getting rid of what doesn't work, like education programs that dont work. I think this i great because why would we keep something that doent work. It is a waste of time and money that the govenment doen't need to spend. He also talks about the taxes being increased for people who make more then enough money. He is giving a voice to the average man. I think what Obama is doing here is going to be a great change for america.
#3.3.5 MILLION JOBS
ReplyDeleteThis part of his speech was about producing over 3.5 million jobs by fixing bridges and roads, making solar panels , and expanding mass transit over the next two years.
I think that this plan will produce many jobs. This is a time were many people are unemployed and in need of a job to support themselves and or there family. Hopefully if this does work people will have jobs and in turn create things that will help our economy get better. How much will this cost, all of these projects he has planned, will it put us more in debt? I hope that this plan will work and our economy will get a lot better but this will definitely take some time.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Obama that we need have more responsibilities more for our country.Obama encourages everybody to join in volunteer program from the neighborhood to community.That's a positive attitude and action that each American should do to save our country to escape economy crisis.By that way, we can save more money and improve your responsibilities with community and yourself.

He is using all of his power to pull us out of our nation's debt and downturn of our economy by using fuel-efficient cars and renewable energies which can make auto industries sell their company cars. Even if the stimulus package couldn't solve all the problems, it can solve more or less problems. I think our nation can overcome any hardship if we stay together and believe in our government.

My topic is early health measure. This topic is important because health is one of the major thing that could help the econimic crisis.

The Kennedy-Hatch Bill was among the many topics discused in Obama's Tuesday night speech. In this bill, otherwise known as the "Serve America Bill", any american who volunteers in the service will qualify for minimal living expences as well as education stipends. With a goal to raise the national percentage of Americans appling to college yearly. Obama's goal is to make education available to every American. Not only would it benefit the service volunteers it would also offer tac incentitives to companies that provide paid volunteer leave as well as include a broad recruitment fund to companies which take advantage of the program. It is estimated that this bill will nearly double the amount of volunteers in the United States. I feel that this bill will serve it's purpose if passed and will be a further stepping stone to reestablishing the economy in this country.
