Moving On

Dear President Obama,

I am deeply concerned by the 'cratering' economy. I will be entering the job market in a few months, after getting a graduate degree in a field that survives best in strong economies. Needless to say, I'm a little concerned that I will have trouble finding a job which best fits my background and interests. I'm heavily invested in how the government and corporations respond to the current recession. And I have to tell you, for the last two weeks, I have become increasingly convinced that your response is no real response. The condemnatory statements you make regarding those responsible for the meltdown may be important to convey our shared outrage at the way financial organizations have played ducks and drakes with our future but it is far more important to demonstrate with action towards resolving many of these issues. I need you to be president now, not judge and jury. And please rein in the various arms of government that are similarly mired in the blame game. The Senate and Congress seem intent on reminding us who is responsible and convening special hearings to keep this memory alive. I understand the importance of serving justice but there is time enough to have hearings after we have stopped the downward spiral of the economy, and have helped Americans get their jobs and homes back.

Actions speaks louder than words may be a cliche phrase but its true nonetheless.

Sincerely Yours,
A Citizen
