Obama's Address to Congress

On Tuesday February 24, 2009 President Barack Obama made his first address to Congress. The presence of the office has never been as strong as Obama spoke profoundly about the current crisis. Obama pledged the end of inefficient government spending, and increased accountability to the American people. He stated that his administration found 2 trillion in possible government spending cuts over a decade and that there was more to follow.
“While our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken, though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this,” President Obama declared. “We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.”
The Speech was dominated by a few key issues; Health care, Education, Renewable energy, and the American crises. Obama was greeted with applause on his statement of spending $15 billion a year to develop green industry and to cut the use oil, a critical factor to US security. Obama stated he would remove educational programs that did not work and that “health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year”
