Have you noticed the actions Obama is already taking on the economy?

Interesting choices in your last three questions there, Squirbel.

I have, but he is careful to point out that he is “not taking action”; simply getting ready. He was wise to hold the press conference and state clearly, a couple of times, that we have a “one president at a time” government and his turn won’t come until 20 January. Until then, Bush is the president.

It’s to his credit that he has started his post-election behaviourt as one who intends to communicate to the electorate.

I think a large part of positive change and a more optimistic outlook coming from the election of president-elect Obama is the fact that America (and the world too) is so happy that the lackluster 8 years of George Bush is ending very soon.

I just watched a press conference that Obama had with his economic team on CNBC, regarding the actions that are going to be taken, and, like jvgr said, he did point out that they’re simply gearing up to take action on the economy. I particularly appreciated how he said that this is a problem that transcends party divisions and that his tax cut plans are not just a political ploy. The whole thing definitely instilled a lot more confidence in me.
