Obama’s Full Speech on His Economic Plan – Video

Carol — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:13:25 +0000

This is the most comprehensive speech that Obama has delivered to date describing our current economic status. He discusses at length how we got here, what his administration is doing about it, and what his medium and long term strategy for recovery and future, sustainable, economic growth includes. He speaks directly to all of the major concerns and criticisms that have been leveled at him, and his plan, with thoughtful, well-informed discussions regarding the alternative plans that have been proposed, and their related merits and risks. If you are sincerely interested in what the Obama administration is already doing, and is planning to do, to fix our economy, then take the time to listen to this speech. Perhaps you will feel as reassured as I did after hearing what Obama had to say.

Keating Economics Video

Carol — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:00:41 +0000

The Obama campaign has implemented a new web site (http://www.keatingeconomics.com/) dedicated to providing detailed information and facts related to John McCain’s involvement with the Keating 5 savings and loan scandal. This is not new information, and at the time that it was taking place, it was very public information. But it is very relevant information to the current presidential race because the S&L scandal was almost identical to the current sub-prime mortgage scandal except that it was smaller in scale and impact. It couldn’t be more clear that the economic philosophy that allowed both of these scandals to take place is the same philosophy that John McCain has supported, and still supports. It also couldn’t be more clear where this philosophy leads – global financial system collapse.
