Obama Vows to Change Washington, Strengthen Middle Class

FAIRLESS HILLS, PA—Senator Barack Obama today toured Gamesa Energy USA, a wind turbine manufacturer in Fairless Hills, and held a town hall meeting with workers where he pledged to end the special interest influence in Washington and strengthen the middle class.

"We need real change -- the kind of change that's about more than switching the party in the White House," Obama said. "We need a change in our politics -- a leader who can end the division in Washington so we can stop just talking about our challenges and start solving them; who doesn't defend lobbyists as part of the system, but sees them as part of the problem; who actually says what he means and means what he says; and who will be a voice for middle class Americans every day for the next four years. And that's the kind of President I intend to be."

At the meeting, Obama discussed his plans to invest $150 billion over 10 years to build a green energy sector that would create up to 5 million new jobs for workers in Pennsylvania and across the country. He also stressed his opposition to unfair trade deals like NAFTA and vowed to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, while rewarding those that keep good jobs with decent wages here at home.

Obama has also announced plans to provide a $1,000 tax credit for working families, cut health care costs for the typical American family by up to $2,500 per year and eliminate income taxes altogether for seniors with an annual income of less than $50,000.

His commitment to make a real difference in the lives of working families like those in Bucks County began nearly 25 years ago when he worked as an organizer to provide job training and set up after-school programs in a Southside Chicago community devastated by steel plant closings.

Bucks County, once home to a US Steel plant that employed nearly 10,000 workers at its peak, faced similar challenges when the company closed the bulk of its operations in the area by the early 1990s. The Gamesa plant now sits at the site of that former US Steel facility and has already begun to employ hundreds of Pennsylvanians in secure, higher-paying jobs that are part of the emerging green economy in the area. Gamesa is the world's second-largest wind energy turbine manufacturer and the world's fourth-largest energy developer.

First guy that gets up and says "We've messed up! We've got to work together to fix this. I'm not blaming anyone and I owe allegiance only to the American people's agenda" has my vote.

this country, especially through manifest destiny phase, was built on diplomacy solves all with civilized people. i know alot of treaties were broken, but the country has moved intendingly looking for moral perfection that over time, life is better than in history. to not see the trend and legislate good laws, liberal, neutral, or conservative laws, just passing something good is a net gain. why cant this congress compromise or are they really that corrupt? the system CAN work, they just dont.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

and its rly simple. republican congress, no disrespect to legit conservative philosophy, or what the gop used to stand for than being as stubborn the opposing party's animal, ALL OF CONGRESS should get their necessary claims to things like healthcare and vote. u want to talk about compromise, we started the worst war in our history on similar attitudes.reconstruction and tons of subsidies later,here we are again so divided. if it wasnt for the boundaries of red states, we mayve fight pretty soon

IRS would be the key to making the system work. Before you could receive any subsidy, whether through the IRS or not, the Health Choices Administration would have to determine whether you are eligible for it. To do so, the bills under consideration would give the Health Choices Commissioner the authority to demand sensitive, confidential information from the IRS about individual taxpayers. The IRS would have to provide it.

Hi Everybody! This is your future Queen!

I love how healthcare CEOs ration care! They mercilessly deny claims, drop clients, etc, to keep the stock price and their bonuses up! They have a great idea - people pay premiums but are denied coverage! PURE PROFIT!

Didn't Jesus say "Blessed are the rich, for the same people they screw cheer for them", and "Denied claims meanith more dead people, but more money for the rich"!

Why do Liberals claim Jesus helped the poor?! How un-American of them!

[mcristhebest1]
