Curmilus --
A little more than a month into my administration, we've already taken bold steps to address our urgent economic problems.
Through the Recovery Act, the Stability Plan, and the Housing Plan, we're taking the immediate necessary measures to halt our economic downturn and provide much-needed assistance to working people and their families.
But to set our country on a new course of stability and prosperity, we must reject the old ways of doing business in Washington. We can no longer tolerate fiscal deficits and runaway spending while deferring the consequences to future generations.
That's why I pledged last night to cut our deficit in half by the end of my term. Achieving that goal will require making sacrifices and hard decisions, as well as an honest budgeting process that is straight with taxpayers about where their dollars are going.
Watch some key moments from my address now:

Central to this plan will be a renewed commitment to honesty and transparency in government. Restoring our country's economic health will only happen when ordinary citizens are given the opportunity to hold their representatives fully accountable for the decisions they make.
I look forward to continuing to work with you as we bring about the change you made possible.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

This article is on point however it could go deeper.
Funny as hell to me. It is my opinion that certain folks are not going to accept the fact that our President is black and they will do anything they can not to support him by any means necessary.
I will be giving more of my opinions on the State of the 1st Black President of these United States in the next couple of days. C. Dancy II - Editor/TPA
A small group of Republican governors last week sought to score some ideological points by announcing that they may not accept some of the money due their states in the $787 billion federal stimulus package. (Rocky Mount Telegram)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — When President Obama took the constitutional oath of office, the son and grandson of two Pinetops women were smiling.For Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyrone Dickens, son of Dorothy Donell Dickens and grandson of Dorothy Mayfield, both of Pinetops, weeks of training and coordination — along with many early morning and late night rehearsals in rainy, frigid weather — paid off in helping to make this historical inauguration a huge success.

Forty-five years ago, my father, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., proclaimed his dream for America "that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed."
His words, spoken in Lincoln's shadow on Aug. 28, 1963, will echo profoundly on Jan. 20, 2009. The ideals that Abraham Lincoln and my father championed will advance when Barack Obama takes the presidential oath of office. (Washington Post)
