PRESIDENT OBAMA
music & lyrics by David McDavitt ©2008

We dont want no corrupt politicians
We dont want the status quo
America is crying out for changes
Who has answered our call- oh?

CHORUS
Barack Obama, the leader we need
Barack Obama, battle the greed
Barack Obama, fix what is wrong
Barack Obama, make America strong
Barack Obama, hes heaven-sent
Barack Obama, hes our President!

McCain said taxes are not for the wealthy
Now family budgets are small & unhealthy
We need help to make taxes more fair
Whos the President who actually cares ?

CHORUS

Health-care insurance is heartless & cold
God help the poor, the sick, and the old
HMOs think that life is elective
Who can inject a compassion corrective?

CHORUS

Equal pay for all sexes & races
No more profiling, or hate crime cases
We dont want Kings dream to fade away
Who will defend civil rights today?

CHORUS

Americans demand better foreign relations
Greed & fear should not hurt other nations
No more Guantanamo, no more Iraq
Who will help other countries, instead of attack?

CHORUS

Oils too expensive, & destroys the Earth
It inspires greed & war like a curse
We need new energy, made on U.S. soil
Which leader will not be a puppet of oil !

CHORUS

With Barack Obama- no book burning
With Barack Obama- scientific learning
With Barack Obama- women have a choice
With Barack Obama- well have a voice
With Barack Obama- no lobbyist greed

State of the Union Education & Student Loans Part 3

Pres Obama’s reterick was long on education promises and short on details. He wants to reward teachers if their children learn good. And continue to hire more qualified teachers bring up the quality of teachers in poor neiborhoods. As far as college goes he wants to stop backing private banks funding of student loans through Fannie Mae. He said we can give families a $10,000 tax credit with the money. Also he wants to use the money to increase pell grants. Then he got in trouble. He said student loans for college should set their payback at 10% of the graduates annual income. And forgive the debt after 10 years if the graduates work in a job the government deems apropriate or 20 years if they work in the private sector. What he didn’t say is where is the money coming from. If he wants to stop backing private banks student loans as he says and use the savings for a tax credit and increased pell grants. Is he suggesting the government take over and make direct loans like the White House floated a few weeks ago. If so with pay as you go, and a 3 year tax freeze, since you can’t even pay as you go for the current budget. You need to deficit spend a trillion and a half dollars just to meet his current annual budget. So where is the money coming from. It is a contradiction. Facts are stubborn things.

All-Star MLB Game: Which President has the better arm?

Both Bush & Obama Have Thrown
first Pitch @ MLB Games. OBAMAs: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/allstar09/news/story?id=4326841
BUSHs: http://rangers.fandome.com/video/111077/President-George-W-Bush-Throws-Out-The-First-Pitch/

[Cast Vote!!]
If it were the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded in a one-run game, George W. Bush is the 21st century president most managers would bring out of the bullpen. Working from the stretch like an experienced reliever, Bush confidently threw a high outside fast ball with his 2008 opening-day pitch as the 43rd president celebrated the first game at the new ballpark for the Washington Nationals.
But in scouting baseball context matters as much as raw ability.
Barack Obama even though he added an artful leg kick had control problems at Tuesday night’s All-Star game as his first-ball floater was caught just before it landed in the dirt. Obama may be a bit raw on the mound (his boyhood game was hoops not baseball) but he does have an asset that scouts covet. The 44th president is a southpaw with the potential to develop into the kind of one-out guy whom managers can bring in to face a left-handed slugger in the eighth inning. Obama is also 15 years younger than Bush and has three and a half years before his current contract is up for renewal.
Also and you are not likely to see this detail in the box scores presidents who take the mound may be handicapped by their amateur-hour uniforms, which require the approval of the Secret Service rather than Major League Baseball. In the political classic What It Takes, Richard Ben Cramer described Vice President George H.W. Bush’s agonies at Houston’s Astrodome as he threw out the first ball at the 1986 National League Championship Series. Because of a cumbersome bullet-proof vest, the senior Bush (a left-handed first baseman at Yale) endured the indignity of seeing his only pitch bounce on the way to home plate. As Cramer writes, “George Bush twists his face into a mush of chagrin, hunches his shoulder like a boy who just dropped the cookie jar, and for one generous freeze-frame moment, buries his head in both hands.”
At the All Star Game, Obama did not endure anything like this kind of Bill Buckner-esque humiliation. Sure, it is a safe bet that the president probably wishes he had a bit more giddy yap on his fast ball Tuesday night. But Obama can take comfort in the immortal words of long-suffering Brooklyn Dodger fans: “Wait until next year.”

Obama to urge lawmakers to fix health care system
By JENNIFER LOVEN AP White House Correspondent © 2010 The Associated Press
Jan. 27, 2010, 7:33PM

WASHINGTON — Vowing to deliver the changes he promised, President Barack Obama urgently implored Democrats and Republicans in his State of the Union address Wednesday night to overcome a “deficit of trust” in government and come together to fix the nation’s broken health care system, soaring deficits and polarized politics.
His No. 1 demand was for lawmakers not to walk away from his prized health care overhaul, which is in severe danger in Congress.
“We face big and difficult challenges,” Obama said, according to excerpts of his State of the Union address released in advance by the White House. “What the American people hope — what they deserve — is for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through our differences, to overcome the numbing weight of our politics.”
Obama was looking to change the conversation from how his presidency is stalling — over the messy health care debate, a limping economy and the missteps that led to Christmas Day’s barely averted terrorist disaster — to how he is seizing the reins on the economic worries foremost on Americans’ minds.
In his speech, the president is devoting about two-thirds of his time to the economy, emphasizing his ideas, some new but mostly old and explained anew, for restoring job growth, taming budget deficits and changing Washington’s ways. These concerns are at the roots of voter emotions that drove supporters to Obama but now are turning on him as he governs.
Indicating he understands Americans’ struggles to pay bills while big banks get bailouts and bonuses, Obama is prodding Congress to enact a second stimulus package and to provide new financial relief for the middle class.
Acknowledging frustration at the government’s habit of spending more than it has, he is seeking a three-year freeze on some domestic spending (while proposing a 6.2 percent, or $4 billion, increase in the popular arena of education and supporting the debt-financed jobs bill) and is announcing he is creating a bipartisan deficit-reduction task force.
“Let’s try common sense,” Obama said in the speech excerpts. “Let’s invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt.”
Positioning himself as a fighter for the regular guy and a different kind of leader, he urged Congress to require lobbyists to disclose all contacts with lawmakers or members of his administration and to blunt the impact of last week’s Supreme Court decision allowing corporations greater flexibility in supporting or opposing candidates.
“I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities,” he said.
Even before Obama spoke, some of the new proposals, many revealed by the White House in advance, were being dismissed — on the right or the left — as poorly targeted or too modest to make a difference.
And in the Republican response, Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia showed no sign of his party capitulating to Obama. In fact, the choice of McDonnell to represent Republicans was symbolic, meant to showcase recent GOP election victories by him and others. McDonnell reflected the anti-big government sentiment that helped lead to their wins, saying in excerpts from his own post-speech remarks that Americans want good health care they can afford, just not by turning over “the best medical care system in the world to the federal government.”
With State of the Union messages traditionally delivered at the end of January, Obama had one of the presidency’s biggest platforms just a week after Republicans scored an upset takeover of a Senate seat in Massachusetts, prompting hand-wringing over his leadership. With the turnover erasing Democrats’ Senate supermajority needed to pass most legislation, it also put a cloud over health care and the rest of Obama’s agenda.
Senate allies, for instance, said Wednesday that a sizable, debt-financed package containing the proposals Obama wants is out of the question in the new climate and that they plan a trimmed-down measure with tax breaks for small businesses and help for state and local governments.
The president stood before a country gloomy over unemployment in double digits and federal deficits soaring to a record $1.4 trillion. He also faces a Democratic Party increasingly concerned about the fallen standing of a president they hoped would lead them through this fall’s midterm elections.
