Once again President Obama must step up to the plate and give voice to what this season should mean to us. This address is for our fighting soldiers and the poor. He is calling for, if we can, we should help out. I did just that. I have very limited funds, but at least I have a job. I decided this year to help out the food bank. Food is something in our country should not have a problem with. But, we do and we need to get food and commodities to our soldiers and poor. I firmly believe that this disaster will too pass and how we help will determine whether it pass quickly or slowly. more about "12/24/08 President-elect Obama's Week...", posted with vodpod
In the final weekly address of 2008, President-elect Barack Obama calls for the season of giving to also be a season of common purpose and shared citizenship.Good morning. This week, Americans are gathering with family and friends across the country to celebrate the blessings of Christmas and the holiday season.As we celebrate this joyous time of year, our thoughts turn to the brave men and women who serve our country far from home. Their extraordinary and selfless sacrifice is an inspiration to us all, and part of the unbroken line of heroism that has made our freedom and prosperity possible for over two centuries.Many troops are serving their second, third, or even fourth tour of duty. And we are reminded that they are more than dedicated Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guard – they are devoted fathers and mothers; husbands and wives; sons and daughters; sisters and brothers.This holiday season, their families celebrate with a joy that is muted knowing that a loved one is absent, and sometimes in danger. In towns and cities across America, there is an empty seat at the dinner table; in distant bases and on ships at sea, our servicemen and women can only wonder at the look on their child’s face as they open a gift back home.Our troops and military families have won the respect and gratitude of their broader American family. Michelle and I have them in our prayers this Christmas, and we must all continue to offer them our full support in the weeks and months to come.These are also tough times for many Americans struggling in our sluggish economy. As we count the higher blessings of faith and family, we know that millions of Americans don’t have a job. Many more are struggling to pay the bills or stay in their homes. From students to seniors, the future seems uncertain.That is why this season of giving should also be a time to renew a sense of common purpose and shared citizenship.

They should’ve green-screened him in the Oval Office, it would’ve looked more professional. They got him looking like he’s set up in the waiting area of a funeral parlor (you see them plastic plants?).Posted in NEWS Tagged: address, holidays, president obama, troops, Youtube
Barack Obama just released this new Presidential YouTube Address, a Christmas greeting that is geared towards reassuring the public during a tough economic period:
These are also tough times for many Americans struggling in our sluggish economy. As we count the higher blessings of faith and family, we know that millions of Americans don't have a job. Many more are struggling to pay the bills or stay in their homes. From students to seniors, the future seems uncertain.
That is why this season of giving should also be a time to renew a sense of common purpose and shared citizenship. Now, more than ever, we must rededicate ourselves to the notion that we share a common destiny as Americans - that I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper. Now, we must all do our part to serve one another; to seek new ideas and new innovation; and to start a new chapter for our great country.
Wish you all the best in the new year and many more to come.
Peace on earth and thankyou for change!!!
