Obama's Weekly YouTube Address: New Foundation

President Obama's Weekly Address: Two Pillars of a New Foundation.

"Ready for a new New Deal? How about the New Foundation? As Mr. Obama labors to pull the country out of the deepest recession since the Great Depression and simultaneously overhaul energy, education and health care, he has coined an expression to encapsulate his ambitious program in the same way Franklin D. Roosevelt did in the 1930s."

Biggest, quickest and broadest tax cut in history. Big difference, they are not just for the ultra rich.

Note to Grover Norquist and the Republican tax cut loons: suck it. Your patron saint Ronnie "I Don't Recall" Reagan raised taxes, Obama cut them. You're still hating.

Obama's Weekly YouTube Address

In this week's address, President-elect Barack Obama highlights the challenges facing our struggling economy and introduces a report being drafted by Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein.

"The report confirms that our plan will likely save or create three to four million jobs. 90 percent of these jobs will be created in the private sector -- the remaining 10 percent are mainly public sector jobs we save, like the teachers, police officers, firefighters and others who provide vital services in our communities.

"The jobs we create will be in businesses large and small across a wide range of industries. And they'll be the kind of jobs that don't just put people to work in the short term, but position our economy to lead the world in the long-term."

Paul Krugman has some doubts:"[E]ven if I use the Romer-Bernstein estimates instead of my own -- there really isn't much difference -- this plan looks too weak."

Obama's Weekly YouTube Address

He blinded me with science!



On December 20, 2008 President-elect Obama introduced the team of men and women who will head up the nation's major scientific departments.

"Because the truth is that promoting science isn't just about providing resources -- it's about protecting free and open inquiry. It's about ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology. It's about listening to what our scientists have to say, even when it's inconvenient -- especially when it's inconvenient. Because the highest purpose of science is the search for knowledge, truth and a greater understanding of the world around us."
