..we've got to make sure the economic stimulus plan is large enough to get the economy moving.... we need to be rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels" along with building "fuel-efficient cars and alternative energy technologies that can free America from dependence on foreign oil..." (District Chronicles, 2008).
Autos) the multi-billion dollar line of credit that Congress is expected to pass to help the auto industry survive has Obama's support, but he insisted the bailout be "tied to a reinvention and streamlining...and hold the industry's feet to the fire." In other words, the day of the gas-guzzling SUV may be on the way out, and hybrids will be in.
Banks) Obama said that his administration will launch a "strong set of new financial regulations, in which banks, ratings agencies, mortgage brokers...will start having to be more accountable and behave much more responsibly" (New York Times).
Technology) in Obama's radio address last Saturday he insisted that "It is unacceptable that the United States ranks 15th in the world in broadband adoption...every child should have the chance to get online and they'll get that chance when I'm president."
Conclusion) the Obama-Biden plan for the U.S. economic recovery is spelled out in great detail on Obama's Web site. One, "Immediate action to create good jobs"; two, "immediate relief for struggling families"; three, immediate assistance for homeowners but not a bailout for irresponsible mortgage lenders"; and four, a rapid, aggressive response to our financial crisis using all the tools we have." (Final plea) I urge you all to be part of the solution. Install low-wattage light bulbs, conserve electricity, help others in your neighborhoods and stay on top of the news - it's your country too!
Attention getter) in conclusion, I was only kidding about the essay quiz on the Obama family canine budget earlier. But I'm dead serious when I say it's a dog-eat-dog economy out there right now. Get a good education and prepare yourselves for your future. And thank you very much for listening!

Steele's warning however appears to be negated by the fact of Obama's success. While there are indeed lapses in his discipline, these can be said to serve only as an indicator of Mr. Obama's humanity, connecting him more closely rather than alienating him from his followers. Other authors also point out some potentially problematic factors in Obama's campaign and policy issues. According to Gerring and Yesnowitz, for example, Obama has

Under such conditions, a withdrawal could be completed by 2010. It is my belief that neither candidate is in a position to manage the economic crisis. For instance, both have made energy independence a strong component of their policies, yet energy independence is a decade or two away. This is a noble long-term goal but will not address today's economic issues. McCain's economic ideologies are rooted in 20th century economic
