Hi Obama,
The stance you described on
- Corruption - no revolving door
- Health care - provide it
- Oil - independence (well you could have actually mentioned a technology instead of "we've got white papers" - this would have shown more thought on the issue)
- Cap and trade carbon - do it
- Education - more money and support for public school teachers
- Taxes - winners pay to help losers - we are one country
are very well explained. But on the trade debt your position does not come through in this speech:
Obama to Paulson: Defend American Workers and Businesses by Challenging China’s Currency Manipulation. The destitute people in Pennsylvania simply do not owe near slave labor in China their jobs. Nor do they owe new immigrants an open door policy - America's population has quadrupled since 1900 just like the world population has - we have no obligation to keep pace with a global over population crisis.
It's time you made these facts part of your standard presentation; our policies on trade debt and open borders are just as guided by corporate lobbying and against common American interests as the others you recommend fixing now.
