President's Weekly Address: Working with Small Business to Drive Recovery

From the White House web site:

The President restates his commitment to small business as key to economic recovery -- from the Recovery Act to Financial Stability to Health Reform -- and pledges more to come.


In this week’s address, President Barack Obama spoke of how important small businesses are to the economy and described the steps his administration is taking to support them. Health insurance reform will allow small business to purchase insurance for their employees through exchanges, which will increase the quality of coverage while lowering the costs, and reform will provide tax credits to those businesses. To free up credit, the President called on Congress to increase the size of various SBA loans, and he announced that the administration will be making more credit available to the small local and community banks that many small businesses depend on.


The President is doing more every day to help create and save jobs through small businesses, big businesses and much more. This is just one part of it. With the Climate Change bill, or ACES as it is also called this could also help with jobs, if only we could get our Congress to do something about it and pass it.

I will have more on the Wind Energy in the next couple of days. I have some interesting things I found that I want to share about it.. and I was surprised to learn I had wind farms right here in my back yard so to speak.. But now, here is the President.

what a great address today from our President! I had a conservative friend ask me last night to list Obamas accomplishments so far, well I just sent her this link and I hope she takes the time to listen. But I won't hold my breath! I think they are afraid of the truth, afraid they won't have anything mean to say if they heard the facts, oh well...

I can send you a link with a long list of accomplishments if you want.. There is a good amount if people just care to look..

Sue said...

OK, sure. I really doubt she will read it tho. But I will!

Annette said...

Great address. Annette, you have been missed!

Sue said...

she already said she will not watch the weekly address. so I copied and pasted the list of things from your older post. She'll have something smartass to say about that too, I'll give up after that! These neocons have no credibility whatsoever if they won't even listen to Obama, they just get their false facts from fake news and believe that crap!!

Can't wait to hear your observations about wind power. Fascinating stuff. Thanks for my weekly fix, Girlfriend! Keep the faith.

Annette said...

Thanks all.. Thanks Tom.. I am back I think...lol

Still helping Mom, but on a limited basis due to the weather and such. I have battled the flu and the weather and still have the lingering cough.. so that stops me from being out too much..

Momma.. I have been gathering info on the wind post for over a month.. it is fascinating stuff indeed.

I can't wait till you all read it and see how much has been done in the background in places you have no idea.

Sue said...

my husband worked for a short time in PA where they were making the wind machines! Can't wait to read what you have!

mommapolitico said...

Can't wait, Girl. Feel better - lots of rest, 'cuz the thing going around right now will kick your butt and keep coming back if you don't!

I am sure it'll be worth the wait, Girlfriend. Take care.

I'm stuck with some "ignorant" family members (racist also) and they want to confront me constantly. Essentially, I told them when they get a grip and do some research...then can get back to me. LOL
