PRESIDENTIAL WEEKLY ADDRESS: President Obama Announces New Initiatives for Retirement Savings
In this week’s address, President Barack Obama announced new steps to make it easier for American families to save for retirement. These new initiatives will complement the president’s major legislative proposals to boost participation in IRAs and match retirement savings.
Currently, there is nothing more controversial in President Barack Obama's health care reform proposal than the "public option." Much of the controversy, of course, has been generated by private insurance companies, determined to safeguard their hefty profits, and by Republican politicians, eager to destroy anything that might redound to the benefit of the Democrats. Even so, a little clear thinking on the subject of public programs might illuminate their advantages and disadvantages.
Since the advocacy Web site, ColorOfChange.org, created a petition directed to advertisers appearing on "Glen Beck," more than 45,000 have signed on urging advertisers to remove their ads. Among the companies that have agreed to do so are Procter & Gamble, Walmart, Geico Insurance, Men's Wearhouse, Sargento Cheese, Lawyers.com and Progressive Insurance. 
Hasty headlines to the contrary, it is very likely that a strong public option will be part of a final health insurance reform bill when it finally passes Congress this fall. There are three reasons:
550 cities could participate in the largest, organized back-to-school effort in U.S. history.
One Florida Man believes teaching African American Kids about the accomplishments and history of Africans is a key to success…and he is walking up the east coast to prove it.
