What's going to happen next?

This is a reply on “what’s going to happen next?” on his post “Barack Obama already taking charges.” I agree that he has been busy wasting no time on constructing his administration. He has already come up with several plans on the major issues clouding America. I also agree if his plans does work and succeed it will shut up everyone who doubted him from the beginning. It will open thousands of jobs to the unemployed, and already started brain storming with his economic team on fixing the economy. Obama has been busy building his administration. Smart move for Obama as, he prepares himself when the time comes to step into the White House. It will be tough for Obama to try and fix every major problem America has, but change is what the American people are counting on with Obama. He had made smart moves and choices when needed during his campaign, and I believe he will make more smart moves and decisions in the next 4 years
This post seems really easy for the public audience to understand. This post seems to be well put and written, making it easy for the audience to understand. Happy holidays to everyone and hope everyone a safe and wonderful Christmas!

Can we Trust Obama?

Can we trust Obama? Sure he said this and that to win votes to become the 44th president, but can we really trust him? He stomped on McCain during the presidential election, so the voters must have a lot of faith in him and trust him. I know I can trust him.
Even though I didn’t really keep up with the presidential election one thing caught my attention, and that was health care. I didn’t really agree with McCain’s health care plans, because giving the people tax credits will add more to the economic crisis. Some people might not use the tax credit to buy health care and buy something else. On the other hand I did agree with Obama’s health care plan. Giving the people cheap and affordable health insurance will work and cost less for the government. McCain's plan would reduce the number of uninsured Americans by 1.3 million over the coming decade at a total cost of $1.3 billion. Obama's plan would reduce the ranks of the uninsured by 34 million at a cost of $1.63 billion. During the first year of implementation, McCain's proposed plan would dent the federal budget to the tune of $185 billion, while Obama's plan would require $86 billion (GardnerAmanda). We cannot overlook this fact considering the time of Economic Crisis. There is a big difference in the money that the government will spend, and number of people who will be covered.
Hearing his speeches and listening to his interview on 60 Minutes, and how he gained the respect of the people. I believe he will be a great president. There are a lot of eyes watching every step of Obama during his term of presidency, and he won’t let the people who voted for him down and most importantly America. I’m looking forward of Obama being president, and to carry out his plans and promises.
