The first African American President will be sworn into office on Tuesday and the entire world will be watching. I just can't believe it took the most powerful country in the world this long to elect a person of color. Well now that has been accomplished what's next...Obama is going to have the next toughiest hurdle to leap in his first term. Wars in Iraq, Afganistan and now Gaza...will be on his most important international agenda, while the nations economy is still out of control.

So let's get this straight...Obama needs to create peace in the middle east, stomp out the terroist and fix our economy...piece of cake. On a daily basis we receive email's from small business owners in the Detroit market talking about how bad things are in their fields. Well now that we have a new congress and a new President coming to power hopefully we will see a different type of focus regarding our economy and International ideas.

Obama and Biden will be working long tough hours over the next 96 months to accomplish what seems to be the impossible. Now he will need help from ever citizen in this great land. Now you ask how can you do your part...well it's seem...stop being so greeding.

If you focus on these areas then we can all get back on track instead of declining out of control.

1. Write your congress person the state and federal levels and ask them to stop with the add-ons to every bill noted.
2. Stop supporting outsourcing of jobs
3. Slow down your spending and save your monies in bonds, mutual funds or real estate.
4. Please pay your bills...if you need to get a 2nd job for a short period do it.
5. Do not ignore the collection calls...pick the calls up and speak with them they won't bite they just want to get paid. If they are rude...tell them to stop and do everything in writing...make arrangements with them that creates a win win situation.
6. Buy American made...not just American named products. Tell the CEO's that you won't buy their products if they are made elsewhere.
7. Invent something...improve something...or just volunteer somewhere...please make a difference. This will make you feel great, it will also help others in the long run.
8. Last but not least....STOP WHINNING....get off your butt and get the job done...NOW....pass these advise on and Obamas agenda might just work.
