Economy

“Many Americans have lost their jobs. Because of this, they don’t have enough funds to buy foods. This will surely lead to hunger. Mr. President, what do you think will happen on our economy this year? Will it go back to normal and stabilize or will it worsen?”

The truth is, most Americans aren't asking for a lot. They don't need overseas tax shelters; they don't need a long list of loopholes. All they want is a fair shake, and they could stand a break because most Americans have simple dreams: a job, a place to raise their families, a secure retirement, and a chance to create opportunities for their kids that might extend a little further than their own. After all, the wealth of the nation is rooted in the work of our people.” I am warning the Americans now because our economic crisis will deepen this year. I already revealed some details of a massive stimulus package that could ultimately exceed in $1 trillion. We, as Americans, will face this economic crisis. I will call for a cabinet meeting tomorrow to discuss this growing crisis which affects the whole world. We already lost 1.2 million jobs inside the country. Millions of American families are struggling to figure out how to pay the bills and stay in their home. This is very alarming. This will result to a deeper problem. I and my cabinet is planning to launch a project to help these people who lost their jobs. Sec. Solis and Sec. Geithner, prepare some plans for this problem and we’ll be discussing it tomorrow. I promise this cabinet meeting will be transparent to everyone.

On Iraq

“There are some rumors that you are planning to add more American troops on the Middle East. How true is this?”

"I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil.” As I have told you in my electoral campaign, I said that I will pull out ALL of our American soldiers in the Middle East to promote peace not only between America and Iraq, but between all nations. I already asked my security adviser, Retired Marine Gen. James Jones, to prepare plans in pulling out our troops in 16 months with the help of Secretary Robert Gates, our secretary of defense. The rumor is a false rumor.

Financial System

“The US of A is having a great economic recession. People are loosing their jobs. For sure, some of these people would like to help on this problem for them able to gain back their jobs. How would we, the people, help restore our good financial system?”

“In order to restore our financial system, we’ve got to restore trust. And in order to restore trust, we’ve got to make certain that taxpayer funds are not subsidizing excessive compensation packages on Wall Street. We all need to take responsibility. And this includes executives at major financial firms who turned to the American people, hat in hand, when they were in trouble, even as they paid themselves their customary lavish bonuses. As I said last week, that’s the height of irresponsibility. That’s shameful. And that’s exactly the kind of disregard for the costs and consequences of their actions that brought about this crisis: a culture of narrow self-interest and short-term gain at the expense of everything else."

My Perception in 10 years

“Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.” – Percy Bysshe Shelley
As a teenager, I cannot afford not to think about the future. I often daydream about the things I want in the future, the positions I want to hold, the experiences I want to experience and to fulfill the plans I have made.
I want many material things in life. I want to own a luxurious black car, a house, a laptop, computers and a manual-digital camera. Pheow! That’s a lot of things.
But before all of that, I want to live in the simplest form and peacefully. I want to spend quality time with my family and my best friend. I can’t deny that she is included in my future plans. But I see my future beside her, as we, being friends.
It’s really difficult to predict, especially about the future. But in my own perception, I see myself as a successful BS Computer Science graduate, working on a respectable field of computer technology. I also see my self as a photographer by pastime capturing every momentum of my life. I also see my self going to different places of the world like Paris, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and many more with someone I can spend my whole life with. Someone whom I can share the experiences waiting for me in the near future.
In ten years, lots of things can happen. The future has a way of arriving unannounced. No one could tell what will happen next. No one can predict the things which are supposed to happen. It is only Him who can. I never fear that these things wouldn’t happen, because I know, I can make them happen with the help of Him.
