President-elect Obama’s First Press Conference

(Community Matters) He is certainly presidential. Noted 1.2mm jobs lost so far this year. More than 10mm currently unemployed. Greatest economic challenge in our lifetime. Only one government at a time; Obama isn’t in charge until Jan 20th. 1) We need a plan for the middle class – extend unemployment benefits and enact a fiscal stimulus plan 2) Address the spreading impact of the financial crisis – small businesses, state & local governments, and the auto industry 3) Review this administration’s implementation of the bailout plan 4) Adopt policies to grow the middle class & strengthen our economy over the long term

I’m voting for a labradoddle
