State of the Economy

On my way home last night I caught the last 20 minutes of President Obama’s speech on the radio.  I was moved by his speech and delighted with the positive reactions from the attendees.  It was a speech that was motivating and full of hope.   I have never felt so proud to be an American.

Even though our economy is bleak, I see a light at the end of the tunnel.  The tunnel of despair doesn’t seem so long anymore.  There is plenty of work to do and Obama has a very ambitious plan.  While the plan takes roots there will still be a gap in the current state of the economy.

There are still plenty of people without jobs and still plenty of people behind in their mortgage payments.  For these people I pray that a solution comes quickly.

For the rest of Obama’s plans, I believe it will make a difference.  I believe in pulling out of the wars responsibly, reviewing our medical infrastructure, and cutting out unnecessary programs across all industries.

It’s like Obama said, it’s not a Democratic issue, it’s not a Republican issue, it’s an American issue.

In case you missed the opening of Obama’s speech, here it is on Hulu.com.
