A In Depth look at the 44th President & A Synopsis of President Elect Obama address to the 111th congress that was telecasted Tuesday,February 24th 2009:*Postpone until March 17th:

At 46 years old Barack Obama was able to convince the American people that he was best candidate for president,he graduated from Columbia University with B.A, and then he continued his education earning a juris doctor from Harvard Law School . While at Harvard Law school he became the first Black President of the Harvard Law Review. He served four years on the senate in the state of Illinois.Before becoming a presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama help to register 150,000 of 400,000 of Illinois unregistered voters. Eventually, he continued his political career and won the democratic parties nomination for Presidential candidate over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton a democratic from New York.After winning the democratic parties nomination, he continued to lead a strong campaign against Republican Party nominee John McCain. “Se si puede” the slogan used throughout his campaign became widely popular with the American people. Although, he encountered difficulties with Rev. Jeremiah Wright the former pastor at President’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago,he was able to move beyond the inflammatory remarks of the pastor to focus on the campaign. Barack Obama campaign focused on making significant changes to help improve the economy for the middle class and working families. His oratorical skills have been compared to those of Martin Luther King. With overwhelming support from minorities, especially, the Afro-American community, on November 4^th, 2008 the American people voted for a change by electing Senator Barack Obama as President. Indeed, with major corporations and financial institutions facing bankruptcy and economic uncertainty, Barack Obama campaign pledge to take immediate action to alleviate the economic troubles of the American people. He stated throughout his campaign that his priorities will be to focus on clean energy, technology, creating jobs, and investing infrastructure (roads and highways). In 2009, he entered the White house during a turbulent economic period in American economy. Throughout the economic recession of 2008-2009, economist and consumer analyst reported that the American economy began experiencing difficulty as early as of August 2007. As job layoffs and closing of major businesses continued in the latter part of 2008 and the early part of 2009, analyst began comparing the recession to the 1930’s stock market crash. The recession of 2008, thus, became the focus of news media, radios, magazines, work place/offices, and unemployment lines. The American economy reached it nadir at the end of 2008 that continued with the proliferate numbers of job losses and the rise unemployment throughout the United States in 2009. Yet, president elect Barack Obama continues to be the spokesperson for  the middleclass, working poor and small businesses. He has remained consistent with his campaign by taking immediate action in the first few weeks promoting and emphasizing the importance of  a Stimulus Plan to help to get credit flowing back into the economy.

Day 5:Nightly Business Report with Suzie Gharib and Paul Kangas concludes the month long segement "Reviving the Economy/Jobs" Concludes the segment with Jobs"Job Hunt" and correspondent Diane Eastabrook  who follows up with jobseeker Rick Nelson who was looking for a job in November of 2008.

Nightly Business Report  begins March with "Reviving the Economy What Should Businesses do? 

In February after President's Day, Congress arrived at an consensus and approved the 2009 economic stimulus plan, well after January 20th, inauguration of the new Presidential cabinet  and two weeks into the month of February. Not surprisingly, the American people as well as lawmakers are waiting to see how much of  an  effect the plan will have on  saving jobs, creating jobs, education, health care, & IT. Since the latter part of 2008, many economist and consumer analyst has been reluctant to compare the economic recession of 2008 to the Great Depression. Yet, it can be stated that the economy of 2008 has been one of the most saturnine periods that American economy has endured since World War II.  Throughout the United States, a record number of job losses occurring in 2008 , thus prompting several analyst to make reference in addition to compare the similarities of 2008-09 recession to the year 1945. The reference to the year 1945 is one of  several comparison that some economists and consumer analyst has referenced in past months,citing that the American economy lost 1.9 million jobs in four months more than 1945. Nonetheless, the number of job loss in the latter part of 2008 and beginning part of 2009 exceeded 1.9 million to a cumulative total  of 2.6 million jobs lost in 2008.Moreover,to conciliate the growing concerns of the American population, the Federal Government intervened in the latter part of 2008 during the Bush and Cheney administration. Surprisingly, economist stated the economy began to show signs of a recession as early as  August 2007 as commented by Rich Karlgaard in his article “Boomers make the Fear Worse” he states, “…An economy growing at 2.1%, as it did for the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 was described by most as a recession. The 2007-08 stock tumble, which resembles 1973—74, is instead compared with 1929-32. The analogy is not remotely close .Before stocks began falling a year ago, they were not in a bubble.” Digital Rules:” Boomers Make The fear Worse” by Rich Karlgaard p.25 Forbes Mag.

The ability of the American economy to recovery quickly from the demise of certain financial institutions such as the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, AIG or the Bernard Madoff scandal is contingent upon the federal government’s ability to get credit flowing back into the economy as well as provide stability to the remaining existing financial institutions. Subsequently, the precipitous decline in the (GDP) gross domestic product culminated from the proliferate number of poorly managed business, the inflation of several corporations balance sheets, in addition to increase unemployed individuals, the rise in gas and food prices towards the end of 2008.Although consumer spending equates for three-quarters of the $14 trillion U.S economy, consumer spending has waned as Bernard Condon and Daniel Fisher state in their article  “What’s Next Consumer Spending”, the corollary to consumer spending  states “Even people who hold onto their jobs may well turn stingy. That’s because of the so called wealth effect the tendency of people to spend more (or less) based not only on how much money they’re making but also on how wealthy they feel.” “What’s Next In Consumer Spending” Bernard Condon and Daniel Fisher

Meanwhile in 2008- 09 under the new administration, the intervention of federal government to prevent further losses to American economy in banking institutions, employment and the housing market has become the focus of lawmakers, and the Presidential cabinet, yet, because consumer spending has drop off in 2008 the gross domestic product (GDP) declined, thus, leaving analyst with a feeling of uncertain on whether those who remain employed along with federal government intervention will be enough to get the American economy back on its feet. As stated previously, economic growth in the public and private sectors as well as job creation has become the central focus of lawmakers and the American people, but most important economic growth plays a significant role in America’s ability to compete in the global market; as stated by former Secretary of Commerce Barbara Hackman Franklin “US exports manufactured goods, services, and agriculture products…account for 13% of the US GDP and supports an estimated 10 million American job.”. Nightly Business report interview  “Reviving the Economy/Jobs As consumer spending declines, it affects the retail industry, agriculture industry, manufacturing jobs such as making clothes or making auto parts, and the automobile industry, which causes job layoffs and increase in unemployment all of the following event  create a perfect atmosphere for a domino effect. Furthermore, the prodigious amount of foreclosure stilling loom over the heads of lawmakers and the new presidential cabinet while both race against time to assist homeowners. As a  result of the federal government's intervention to assisting Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to  help keep  current homeowners stay in their home;  some economist has questioned the validity as well as the impact of the federal government intervening or as economist and consumer analyst has stated in the past months "bailing" them out to keep the economy afloat such actions has caused dissension among lawmakers. Yet,the continuing efforts in 2009 to assist homeowners remain in their homes as well as to preclude such disasters dealings from reoccuring in the near future has been one of the many issues addressed by lawmakers, and state officials. Freddie and Fannie has often been called and known to American people as providers of affordable housing; however, as explained by Steve Forbes in the article Intelligent Investing: “How Capitalism will Save us" he states that Freddie and Fannie “had little or no positive impact on helping the housing market and they were also reeling politically from egregiously accounting scandals. The companies, therefore decided they could justify their existence by becoming champions of “affordable housing “They guaranteed $1 trillion of less than prime mortgages and kept more than 100 billion of this suspect paper on the balance sheet” Apparently, the federal government felt the ills of Freddie and Fannie could be cured and that the problems facing Freddie and Fannie with the help of government invertention could be remedy but should not be view as an irremediable problem, thus, stepped in the federal government to help begin paying back mortgages in effort to reduce mortgage rates to assist homeowners.

Although,the President elect Obama stimulus plan has been approved by Congress, some lawmakers and economist feel the $787 billion dollars appropriate to help get the economy off its feet is only a fraction or small amount of funds required to jumpstart the economy and  will create or produce very little economic growth. In fact, many of the analysts believe the billion dollars appropriated by the new President is only throwing money at the problem. A continuing rife among lawmakers and the American people during the recession of 2008-09 is Federal government regulation to keep existing businesses and corporations from falling to the same demise/plight, the number of unemployed individuals, foreclosures ,and the growing increase in health care. The plan entails a $282 billion tax breaks and $507 billion towards infrastructure (building roads, highways,) Analyst prognosticated that the corollaries from assisting failing corporations, businesses, and financial institutions will help to create new jobs and help workers in their current jobs. For the year 2009, economist has prognosticated that the stimulus will create and save at least 3.5 million jobs.With Unemployment Moderinaztion Act filling in the gaps by providing asisstance for  unemployed individuals who might not have otherwised qualified for unemployment benefits and the federal government intervening in stablizing the banking industry , housing market, and financial institution ,eventually, the ultimate question remains,should their be a cap on the amount government intervention in financial markets and will the economic stimulus plan of 2009 revive or bouy the economy?I do not confess to be a expert economist or a expert consumer anaylst,however, as an American consumer ,voter in 2008 election, a memeber of the ACLU and someone who has been unemployed ,who has received unemployment benefits as  well as lived in transitional housing,I feel informed enough on the issues to state ,after listening to the President address the 111^th Congress Tuesday evening, I would say that the 2009 Economic Stimulus Plan is more of a nip&tuck to keep the seams, threads and fabric of the economy from unraveling, whereas the American Recovery Re-Investment Act will give an overall  facelift to the economy with in the following years.

"I've never met anyone who became instantly mature.It's a painstaking process that God takes us through, and it includes such things as waiting, failing, losing, and being misunderstood --each calling for an extra dose of perseverance."----Charles Swindoll

An Excerpt From: God Can Handle It Day By Day

                   "Swimming in the Dark"

In May 1997, Susan Maroney became the first woman to swim the 118 miles from Cuba to Florida...Have you ever felt as if you were Swimming in the Dark? Perhaps, growing weary, and you felt like giving up.Here are a few things we can learn from Susan Maroney's experience:

(1)Work hard to accomplish your dreams

(2) Surround yourself with people who believe in you and will stay with you, even during the"dark" times

(3)Keep your goal insight, even if you imagine things that  aren't there. (God Handle It Day By Day)
