Driving the Economy

In President Obama's speech last Friday (9-17-2010) to the black caucus, concerning the state of our economy and how to recover and move it forward, he gave the analogy of us having our car stuck in the mud deep in a ditch. With us pushing and struggling to drive our car from the ditch, the Republicans are standing on the side yelling at us to push harder, "Push harder, push harder." Finally, after getting our car out of the mud, out of the ditch, the Republicans now want our car keys back! We tell them, "NO, you can't have the keys back...NO!"

So, as President Obama says, inferring on how to move the economy, "If you want to move your car forward you put it in 'D' and if you want it to go backward you put it in 'R' ...and those letters are not a coincidence!"
