I think that President Obama has not taken the appropriate steps, in order to fix the financial problems that United States citizens are having. He seems to have more goals than actually plans. For instance, he WANTS to create more jobs, he WANTS to decrease federal taxes and he WANTS to lower interest payments. However, he doesn't really have a set plan, so his stimulus package seems more like him trying to make his country think that he is fixing our financial problems rather than actually following through. In the past year, he has put most of his focus on health care, but he has kind of left the econonomic troubles behind, even though that is currently our main problem. While I understand that he has many issues to take care of, it seems like he spends more time saying that he is going to do things, rather than following through. The facts are that there are many states, like Arizona, that are facing so many financial problems that many funded programs have had to be cut. These issues occur when leaders, such as; Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama spend more time buying and spending money, rather than creating different means to fix financial issues. America's financial problems will continue for many years and the only way to dig ourselves out is to take one step at a time and Obama is the one who will have to create these steps. It's a battle that Americans will always face.
