The economy would not suffer quite as long if everyone would stop saying how bad the economy is and how it's going to get worse before it gets better. The more negative talk you advertise the more fearful and tight-wadded people get. Which is the exact opposite of what needs to happen. People need to continue spending in order to bring our economy back up on it's feet. I know it's tough to spend when jobs are continually getting cut. It is a vicious cycle that needs to be broken.
When people stop spending, companies suffer losses.
When companies suffer losses they cut jobs.
When people lose jobs they stop spending!
Sooo...people need to start spending again so the companies can return jobs and support peoples' spending!

We finally have an African-American in the Oval Office. Great! It just goes to show that America is indeed made up of diverse races and cultures. It also goes to show that black people - particularly the ones who keep pushing for reconciliation for the sufferings of their ancestors - need to shut up and get to work. These people are the ones that cause the bad stereotype of blacks to carry on continuously. If these black people (remember - I'm talking about the ones who seek compensation for things they haven't suffered themselves) would stop pushing their issue and get to work like everyone else, than the stereotype would lessen. Gangs also procreate the negative stereotypes. Because there are alot of blacks in the poorer populaces, they tend to fall on gangs to support themselves. If gangs like these were eradicated and replaced by steady jobs for everyone - there would be less negativety toward blacks. But unfortunately that's asking ALOT! We all want to be happy - which usually means more money. A steady job doesn't mean a GOOD or High-Paying job. Therefore gangs will still be very attractive because of all the drug money.
The President just proves to everyone (blacks, whites and all other races) that it doesn't matter what color your skin is - with hard work and perseverance (and the right attitude) anyone can achieve their goals. This is America - land of opportunity - appreciate it and start acting like it is!

Give Obama some breathing room. Everyone is jumping on his every word and action. This is to be somewhat expected since times are rough and everyone is looking for the ladder up. But for goodness sake! Give the guy some room to breathe and work! He is doing an excellent job under the conditions. We don't know every detail that goes on behind all the government doors. I think the few things he's managed to pass so quickly are quite commendable. They may not be exactly what we wished for, but they do seem to be a step in the right direction...so far.
Mind you, I am keeping a wary eye and ear open because there are certain things that can be deemed slightly scary. Like how the House passed a bill to tax those bonuses so quickly. The people need to be careful that we don't give our government too much power to control every little detail of our lives. Granted this particular time, they were acting on the general populace's reaction of disgruntlement and outrage, but what about next time? Will they disguise their intentions with the emotions of the people?
Obama has his heart in the right place. I just hope it's chained and locked there because we all know that the pressure from corporations, advisors and other government areas will be very hard to resist as well as blinding. Good luck to him!
