Obama, and Dymphna Boholt on Expections

According to Dymphna Boholt Right now, America is in a world of hurt. Their economy is tanking, their military is stretched thin, and their reputation around the world has been greatly damaged. America voters made a big statement last week. They decided they wanted the United States to go change course. Collectively the American people spoke, and Obama was the voice of their answer.

Dymphna Boholt estimates that Over 70% of the American population believes Obama will heal the deep wounds of the US. Starting with the economy, Obama was already planning an economic stimulus package, even before he was officially elected. His plan is to give the American people and American companies a tax rebate similar to the one handed out during the summer. Apparently, that wasn’t enough. While George Bush is worried about bailing out Wall Street, Obama’s focus is on helping those on Main Street.

Dymphna Boholt belived that Obama’s philosophy is to get money in the hands of the American consumer. He believes that America will become prosperous from the bottom up. By pumping money and tax cuts to the middle class, more consumers will purchase goods made by American companies. Basically, his plan is a complete reversal of the previous eight years which continued to pump money to the greedy corporations while leaving the American public to suffer.

Obama also has a different view on the war in Iraq. He believes enough is enough. Instead of trying to take over a sovereign country, his approach is one of diplomacy. There is something we haven’t seen much of lately. Instead of bombing countries he doesn’t like, he is going to try to reach out with an olive branch of peace, in order to calm the America haters around the world.

For the World’s sake, let’s hope he can successfully put an end to this debacle. I believe Obama has the right take on Iraq. Get the troops out, place UN peacekeepers in the area, and allow the government of Iraq rebuild the country the way they see fit.

Obama has some big obstacles to overcome, and some big shoes to fill. Americans have put all there hope and faith in this one man to repair their broken nation. Lets hope the world will support him in his efforts of rebuilding.
