Obama struggling for approval ratings?

Obama delivers his Address to the Nation

Address to the Nation… thats me and you

With year one in the books for President Obama, he delivered his first address to the nation on Wednesday, Jan. 27th, 2010. He discussed issues such as the economy, health care reform, job creation, and how the original focus he campaigned for is not gone.

For some the campaign is a lost cause and all the promises Obama had made have all but disappeared since he took office last year. It started with the stimulus package and the AIG bailout with the “Too Big to Fail” clause. The government does have a transparency for the stimulus package, which can be seen here. We also must ask ourselves “Can we trust the government that this website displays accurate data?”

Wall Street up, Main Street down

We see the Dow Jones rise steadily, and the job market decline. Businesses layoff their “expendables” and keep the necessary. Those who become laid off go out job hunting and in most occasions, businesses aren’t hiring. The inexperienced worker or student without a degree under his belt must find a job, however those that do hire, require experience in certain fields. As of late, it depends on what part of the country a person is in to see how much the economy affects it. Some business may start hiring inexperienced workers on the west coast, but not the east coast. It’s all a matter of the state’s health and how it trickles down to the city a business is located in.

Is it smart to over extend you core qualified workers until more are found? Or is it a better idea to spend money on training new workers?

Some corporations have an answer, but the commonwealth must have a different answer…
