Editorial # 2

I found my second Editorial in the Outlook section of the Washington Post on February, 15th 2008. Wooo haha. My second editorial was titled, "Just the Start" by David S. Broder. The editorial is about how Obama has already had some road-blocks in his process to help better the economic problems. The author, David Broder, many times states how the role of President for Obama will continue to get harder now that his Stimulus bill has been approved and how President Obama will have to go to great heights to accomplish his goals that he established. Broder wrote that Obama must think about the future and how we (as a collective body) will be able to pay for the finances that are going into place right now to help our problems. Broder also wrote that many Republicans are not for Obama's actions and that their votes are important as well for further bills. Obama had to campaign for the bill "from Capitol Hill to Indiana, Florida and Illinois, reaching out to Republicans as well as Democrats." Many Republicans (says Broder) believe that the Stimulus bill will fail and that all the money will go to waste. However, Broder then mentioned that former President Bill Clinton, created a first budget and tax package without "a single Republican vote...and the economy soared under Clinton." Broder believes that the outcome could be similar to Cliton's. I found this pretty interesting.
