Thoughts on Obama
Wednesday, March 4, 2009 at 10:44PM In his short time in office, Obama has managed to spend a lot of money. And I agree that something drastic has to be done to revive this economy and change all the other things that are wrong with this country. But I'm very curious to know where are these billions of dollars are going to come from? I'll have to admit, I'm a little worried. Exactly what government programs are going to be cut in order to save money? Repealing tax cuts for the wealthy...how much revenue will that generate? It seems he has a lot of great plans for spending money, but not enough plans for saving or generating money. Perhaps we'll find out eventually.

Regardless, I really want to see Obama succeed. It's exciting to see him working to try and change this country for the better. It's also exciting for me to see how the administration uses technology as a means to communicate with the public so we can actually see what is going on in Washington. I like the creation of websites like recovery.gov, so we can see exactly where the money is going. I like that his weekly address in on YouTube. Obama definitely reaches and engages a younger demographic of Americans.
It will definitely be an interesting four (or even eight) years.
