After a week of rough economic news, President Obama on Saturday gave a pep talk to America, using his weekly radio address to tell them he understands their hardships and to tick off the steps he's prodded government to take.
"We will continue to face difficult days in the months ahead," Mr. Obama said. "But I also believe that we will get through this — that if we act swiftly and boldly and responsibly, the United States of America will emerge stronger and more prosperous than it was before."
Mr. Obama also bragged about what he said were the brakes he's applying to spending, saying that within 10 years non-defense discretionary spending will be a smaller part of the economy than any time in nearly half a century.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 436 points during the week, and the number of jobs lost since the recession began in December 2007 rose to 4.4 million, putting unemployment at more than 8 percent.
The president said he looks beyond those statistics to the people who have lost those jobs, and listed off a series of government actions he's pushed for in his less than two months in office:
• New rules to allow for easier refinancing and to push lenders to lower mortgage payments for those who are facing foreclosure.
• The $787 billion stimulus bill, which he said will meet his goal of creating or saving 3.5 million jobs in two years.
• A health care summit that, the president said, will spur the ideas that will lead to coverage for all Americans.

Depends on how you use the word “boost” ...
The problem with any job that he may “save” with the so called Stimulus Bill will be gone in 2 years or less once the federal dollars dry up
We are doomed.
The emperor has no clothes, and the stock market knows it.
Mr. Obama said. “But I also believe that we will get through this...”
You’ve lied about everything else, Mr. Transparent. Why would anyone believe you now?
“Boost” is slang for “steal, rob, or shoplift” ...
A community organizer and a comedian.
“boost” to me is STEAL IT....so you are right...he’s trying to boost the nation.
“Boost” is a synonym for “steal”
He is trying to boost the economy.
New rules to allow for easier refinancing and to push lenders to lower mortgage payments for those who are facing foreclosure

White House nightlife under investigation
‘This party atmosphere sends the wrong message’
Obama can’t “talk it up” and neither can he “talk it down”...
The Great Depression is coming (has arrived) and will deepen, regardless of what Obama says. It’s been in the works for decades, I would say.
Problems Hitler had with his mortgage...

I see it’s all in how one uses the word such as ‘Obama
is looking for a car to boost.’ How about ‘Obama is trying
to boost my income’. Thanks for the help.
