Thank you for your reply. Seems as Obama did his homework.
Quoting from [James 007]:
I do not think Obama's initial policy will have good Global Support.
As the Americans are losing their jobs to outsourced production, software and service providers, elswhere, there is strong likelihood to put up some barriers, if not to restrict free trade. This may be for a interim period, and at the overview of the situation, the US economical crisis, which has gone global may not be resolved within a short period of time.
It may not be even solved during his term of office in the next 4 years. Global resentment of the US has already taken place, as the stock markets of the world are shadowing the Wall Streets and Capitol Hill decisions and rescue operations.
Some of the proposed solutions by Barack Obama are long term, e.g. the upgrading of skills, re-training of the workforce, and in education. The growing problems in the education ministry is the growing loss of good teachers, and students are dropping out by the numbers. This is because the money is not there, they cannot get good renumerations and the infrastructure suffers. That is why you see bridges collapsed and natural calamity taking its toll, the entire system of civil servants, like the fire department, home land security, medical and health care and etc. are suffering deficits.
This is my take only, so if you have other opinions, please be bold to correct me, and I will be humble to accept it.
Obama has to cut off the bleeding points first. Pulling out of Iraq for example can save the US Governments hundreds of billions a month. Reduction on the reliance of fuel oil energy could help save lots of money, which can be channelled to more productive areas.
American workforce has to be productive and lean and mean, so to attract investments overseas, and to keep the companies from going abroad. Tax cuts to be given to those who employ their own citizens, as the carrot to woe them to stay.
Americans can change their mindsets, may take a little longer, but the Americans can do it, like what they showed to the world when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese and most of the Pacific fleet was crippled, President Roselvelt said "Impossible! I tell you what is impossible, he stood up from his wheelchair and showed them his courage."

Quoting from [Street Smart]:
It would not be coming back for the next two Springs. It will become worst before it becomes better, and that will take at least two years, if America is going on the right track to recovery.
Obama cannot do miracles, it also has to take the entire House of Senates and the will of the American people to make the change. But he has to make the influence, convincing them of the bad situation they are in, and relate to them the better position if they are willing to makeover their lives and foreign policy.
Quoting from [moiko]:
We are being pebbled with words of fear and division by disgruntled members of the losing party. This fear-ology is continuing to have a major impact on how consumers and small businesses behave. Do you want to save your businesses? Do you think if business world wide, are very vocal in support of The Obama Administration that consumers will also have faith enough to start buying again?
And What can be done on a Global level to make it known that Business are moving forward with confidence?
Thank you for your answers;
Moiko
1. Reduce the population of the United States to what it was in the early 1960s, or increase the amount of available resources such as land, energy, and food.
2. Convince the US population to accept a much lower standard of living.
3. Order US business to hire workers, and pay each and everyone of them a true living wages.
The US president is not a god, and he cannot undo 50 years worth of no planning at all. No politician will be completely honest with the people and tell them the truth, because they know that for the most part the US has degenerated into a nation of spoiled children, and the best way to get elected is to tell the people what they want to hear, and not what they need to hear. We have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

The main problem with the US economy is that there is no longer any realprosperity within the US.
2 and 3 also.
Birth control and population reduction is a negative way that will not solve the problem. There will be more immigrant workers, the Latinos, the Indians, the Eastern Europeans, the Polynesians and the Chinese. Stopping them will also not solve the problem. We have to first identify the cause of the problem and formulate ways to solve it. The handful of rich people who run the corporations become richer, with the cheaper labor available, and those workers work harder and are less complaining, do not join labor unions, so increases profit margin.
I'm not suggesting that any problem be solved. I'm only telling your the root causes of the problems. However, please show me any country with a chronic over population problem, that also enjoys a high standard of living.
True, for a period of time the Japanese did very well by selling product manufactured by lower paid Japanese workers, to higher paid workers in the US. But now that as come to an end, as the Japanese face competition from less expensive competitors. It is alwasy a matter of whatever the market will support.
"Aaron and Mirian," "the golden calf and Korah" and "the President do have veto power and the ability to influence the House of Senate." I have no idea what any of this is supposed to mean. However, the US president does not have constitutional influance over Congress, they are two separate branches, and the constitution was designed to prevent undue influence. Also, the presidents veto can be overrideen by congress, if congress can produce a two-thirds majority.
Other than adjusting the interest rates, and cutting taxes, the president (Clinton, Bush, or Obama) has no control over the US economy. The US economy operates on the principle of whatever the market will support.
In order for democracy to work, you need informed voters, who casts their votes with the best interestes of their country in at heart. This is why the ancient Romans only allowed the very best of their citizens the privilage (not a right) to vote. Having a strong personality does not give you democracy, it gives you the cult of personality.
Also, I never said Clinton was a bad president. In fact I think he was one of the best Republican presidents the US ever had. He beat the GOP at their own game, which is why they wanted to destroy him so badly. Clinton was lucky to be president during a period during a time when the US did not face any great threats, and he balanced the budget by slashing defense spending.
Go ahead, feel free to make the US the world's whipping boy within your own mind.
