While John McCain was busy complaining that the "liberal" media is portraying his campaign rallies as ugly--his rallies certainly are--and his character assassination of Obama as relentless--it is, Barack Obama was delivering a powerful speech in Ohio laying out his plans for an economic recovery.
For the full text of the speech, click here.
This morning in Virginia Beach, signs at the Palin rally said: Obama bin Lyin'. But that's just funny, right? NO! Later in the day at another Palin rally in Richmond, the signs called Obama a Communist and a Marxist.
Back to "it's the economy, stupid: the Obama plan is quite detailed:
- Real tax relief and incentives for investing in small businesses, the engine of American prosperity
- Jobs for Growth to reinvest in American infrastructure
- Investments in fuel efficiency technology for American carmakers to retool cars
- Tax cuts for seniors and middle income families
- Extend unemployment insurance benefits
- Suspend withdrawal penalties from IRA and 401 (k) accounts for folks under the age of 59.5 who are in need of cash now
- Suspend penalties for not withdrawing from IRAs and 401 (k) s for seniors who don't need to take the money out
- Homeowner mortgage foreclosure relief and assistance
After all of these years of Bush dumbing down the American public, we must begin to take the time and invest the effort to become better informed. Fear kept the American people ignorant and gave too much power to Bush and Cheney.
We have a choice: the tone of the Obama campaign appears to say that an Obama presidency would rely on the abilities of the American people, all of the American people, to discover and implement new and creative solutions to the problems facing this crowded and troubled planet.
Wouldn't that be a nice change? Are we willing to work together again?
