USA Today :
....President Obama this morning will host a round-table discussion at the White House about the benefits of lower mortgage interest rates. His guests, the White House says, will be a "handful of homeowners who have re-financed their homes" and benefited from the lower monthly payments. The event is supposed to get started at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Just before noon ET, the president is scheduled to make an announcement about plans to improve health care for veterans....
....The New York Times -- "Obama to push immigration bill": "While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country's immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday. Mr. Obama will frame the new effort -- likely to rouse passions on all sides of the highly divisive issue-- as 'policy reform that controls immigration and makes it an orderly system,' said the official, Cecilia Munoz, deputy assistant to the president and director of intergovernmental affairs in the White House...."
It seems like a very tough series of events and issues. The President's willingness to hear from people and get down to business has been a real inspiration to many people. Our country is hurting and the President is working hard to fix things. We should offer him our support.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle.......
Republican Rep. Eric Cantor has decided to use attack methods on freshmen Democratic members of the House. This is just another item that shows the complete idiocy of the do-nothing, know-nothing, bankrupt Republican Party.
Which person would you rather follow and make decisions for your future, Barack Obama or Eric Cantor?
