Obama has real plans to help this country

Obama economic plan aims for 2.5M new jobs by 2011



Good. At this point, we need big plans and a vision. People need to think, to know, that their president is in charge and he's going to make sure everything turns out all right. The era of My Pet Goat is over.

President-elect Barack Obama promoted an economic plan Saturday he said would create 2.5 million jobs by rebuilding roads and bridges and modernizing schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars.

"These aren't just steps to pull ourselves out of this immediate crisis. These are the long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long," Obama said in the weekly Democratic radio address.

The goal is to it quickly through Congress, with help from both parties, after Obama takes office Jan. 20. The plan, which envisions those new jobs by January 2011, is "big enough to meet the challenges we face," he said.
