President Obama

I was reading that one of Obama's plans is to create millions of jobs by 2011. He wants to make public buildings more efficient, repearing bridges, modernize schools and that the health care professionals have the latest technology. Also, he said: "We need to upgrade our federal buildings by replacing old heating systems and installing efficient light bulbs. That won't just save you, the American taxpayer, billions of dollars each year. It will put people back to work." In addition, he said, "It is unacceptable that the United States ranks 15th in the world in broadband adoption. Here, in the country that invented the Internet, every child should have the chance to get online.
"In addition to connecting our libraries and schools to the Internet, we must also ensure that our hospitals are connected to each other through the Internet." These are a few parts of the
economic
plan that he will be rolling out in these weeks. Obama said that When Congress reconvenes in January, he look forward to working with them to pass a plan immediately. "We won't do it the old Washington way. We won't just throw money at the problem.
"We will measure progress by the reforms that we make and looking the results by the jobs that we create, by the energy we save, by whether America is more competitive in the world,"
Obama added.
