"Paving A Path To Growth": Obama's Selling Point Yesterday

Obama spoke to the nation for the second time yesterday in a much-anticipated conference on his controversial budget plan, AIG and healthcare concerns. 13 questions were asked by journalists from key media outlets such as CNN. Obama was sharp last night, defended his plan unwaveringly and even got a little crunk when reporter Ed Henry (of CNN) accused him of reacting too slowly to the AIG debacle. Obama's reply was simply, "I like to KNOW what I'm talking about before I speak". LOL! Guess he tooooooold him!

Obama also pointed out how his budget plan focuses on long-term goals concerning health care, alternative energy sources and the job market. He says the republicans seem to be in favor of a short-term "quick fix", and a recession of this magnitude simply won't be effectively resolved that way. He also pointed out that despite all his criticism no one has been able to step-forward with an alternative budget. Not to mention the G.O.P's sudden memory loss concerning the fact that their Administration got us into this trillion-dollar deficit to being with-- SMH.

People are not always open to change, but Obama definitely represents that. He is young with fresh ideas and sharp tactics, and I am confident that America made a sound choice. Yes, he is very visible on talk shows and whatnot-- but maybe America NEEDS a tangible President right now. As far as his recent blunders? I can't condone that, but I will say this-- he's human, and prone to mistakes. G'Obama!
