Obama's AccomplishmentsObama’s Accomplishments, Time to Review and Renew
As the election season progresses now is the time to review the accomplishments of our President over the past four years, whom upon entering office had faced the most major economic crisis since the Great Depression. Though he has also faced a highly partisan Congress, our President has managed to pass sweeping changes in improving the lives of everyday Americans who have struggled to keep their jobs, families and communities together against the moneyed forces that have sought to strip away the fabric of empowerment of our middle and working class Americans. View this package of successes, pass it along, and be proud of the accomplishments made by us all who chose a man to lead us to be the change we have been waiting for. Please also view the Obama -Biden Campaign website at Barackobama.com for more up to date information on his goals for the future of the nation and how you can help him achieve these goals for the next four years.

Obama's Budget, A Plan That Works Obama's 2013 budget proposal is a plan to put Americans to work, at a time most needed in this economy. Following through with his goals of capping spending for required deficit reduction, this budget is aimed at placing the economy and communities first. The overall review of the budget by the Office of Management and Budget describes a budget which places an emphasis on job creation through developing infrastructure, investing in quality educators to better prepare students for the current job market trends, investing in rehabilitating communities hardest hit by the housing crisis,cutting farm sudsidies, ending tax incentives for oil and gas companies while investing in clean energy, assisting states in implementing the 2010 deficit reducing health care reform law, as well as increasing funds to prosecute those responsible for financial, mortgage and other fraud.
Listen to the ScienceThere was a time when the American Scientist had the highest public support and credibility. The University don was looked upon as an intelligent, thoughtful, unbiased voice, if somewhat disassociated from the general public. However that was also a time when politics did not seem to require scientific advice. Some political and industrial systems within our country have misled the public concerning well established scientific knowledge such as global climate change as well as other environmental conditions. Author, historian Naomi Oreskes, has written Merchants of Doubt to describe how these political and industrial systems have used selected scientists to aid in their deceptive campaigns of dispelling the scientific evidence of global warming amongst other environmental problems.In the past scientists supported the base of American industry through innovation and creation, and seldom were heard from in public debate.
