Obama’s March 15 CEO Address
President Obama addresses business leaders at round table discussion
President Obama appeared before CEO’s and business leaders on March 15, 2009. The President addressed the economic crisis and discussed the Budget. Obama made it clear that leading office in a financial crisis is not ideal. However, Obama outlined the neccessary steps which the Budget will work towards accomplishing. In the midst of his speech, there were some rather interesting quotes he gave:
“Will make higher education afordable for all”…Judging by the quote is it fair to say that affordable is subjective and the statement seems on the verge of pre-campaign mode? Hope any one?
“Believes that jobs are created like businesses just like you”…By you we would assume he is addressing the American people, ignoring the fact that he’s in front of CEOs. But this shows that Obama is for the common man, working class people, or more acknowledged; you.
“The country that harnesses the power of renewable energy will lead the 21st Century”… With the Russians and Chinese doing just that, one could argue the validity of this statement. There might even be a Bank of China located somewhere on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. in the near future.
What do you think about the president’s remarks and what is your outlook for America in this economic crisis?
