"Obamanomics"

I really concerned about our economic crisis we're facing in our country right now. I'm afraid things will get worse and worse if we don't take the right action to this problem. I can see that our new president is trying to make things better. I'm glad that he hasn't raised the tax until now, and I think that's a good sign, but he still needs to come out with a smart plan of how we handle this financial crisis. From what I read in NRO, Larry Kudlow stated that the wish list of Democratic spending initiatives includes short-term tax rebates, massive new transportation bills, even more education money, exotic green-technology spending, a big-government embrace of health care, and heaps of cash for UAW-Detroit carmakers won't stimulate economic growth. We need some investments and better plan than that. This is the best time for President Obama to prove to America and the world that he's the right man to be US president and not McCain. We choose him because we put hope in him that he can lead us out of this problem. Things get really hard in my country since this recession also affect my country's economy. The rate of US dollar currency in Rupiah(Indonesian's currency) are getting really high and it's very hard for my parents to pay my living cost and tuition fee here. world has to endure the consequences of the mess that US government has made in the past. So, I really hope that Bush and Obama can work this thing out together for the sake of this country and the world.

Do we really vote to the right president?

I agree with Mr.Najib in his blog "Will Obama Become President?" which is saying that Sen.Obama has the qualifications to get the votes for him to become our President leader, I mean me myself think that he's a better candidate than Sen.McCain but it's still too early to say that he has the ability of being a good US president because we don't know yet. He still has to prove that he's really gonna do all of the promises that he has said earlier while he was doing the campaign and able to handle all the problems that are going on while he is being the president. If we look at this blog, it seems that Obama is a perfect president candidate because the writer only mention all of the good things about him. From what I read in POLITICO, it says that in interviews, strategists in both parties pointed to four big vulnerabilities: Obama’s inexperience, the thinness of his policy record, his frank liberalism in a time when the party needs centrist voters and the wealth of targets that are provided by the personal recollections in his first book, from past drug use to conversations that cannot be documented, and some top Republicans think the party would have a better chance with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., as the nominee, since she is a known quantity while Obama can try to define himself as anything he wants. I really hope that we choose the right president this year. This country needs a good leader who not only cares about himself but the sake of this country.
