Facetime with Obama

If I had the privilege of going into the oval office and speaking to President Barack Obama about issues of today, I would speak about many different topics-specifically the issue on the financial status concerning the homes and buildings owned by the federal government. I would ask him about what steps he would take to save businesses and how he plans on including the American citizens. I would also give him advice about how to handle America's impatience without just handing out what they want when they want it because that would only cause them to want more. That advice would include taking control of his decisions with the same intention he had when he was running for president as well as when he became president. I would tell him not to be wishy-washy on important facts that include the citizens because that'll only cause madness-but if he does let the public know, not to just keep it to himself.

Over and over again he's said that we are all in this together, hopefully he stands true to his words and leads us out of this depression before we get ourselves any deeper. I would ask him how long he thinks this depression would last and what I can do as an individual to make change that helps a group load of people and not just myself. In the Washington Post article titled “The Action Americans Need” he quotes “We can act boldly to turn crisis into opportunity and, together, write the next great chapter in our history and meet the test of our time.”

As a nation it is time for us to be patient and not expect things to happen so quickly, when things go slow and they're thought out clearly, its better then when they're rushed just to get it done. So if we wait and take the actions we need to take to get ourselves out of this mess, we won't regret being in the midst of a leader who knows what he's doing. The event of this current depression would connect to the time when FDR was president and he was dealing with putting America back in its place of wealth. In This Article, it goes more into what FDR dealt with during his presidency and it shows me how Obama is dealing with the same thing in this day and age.
