President Obama's weekly address to the Union



Since Presdient Obama's first day in office on the noon of January 20th as stated in Article II of the constitution, Obama has met with his economic advisory board, commanders of the operation in Iraq, and signed several executive orders. One of them include the Guatamo Bay Federal prison closing. They plan to close the military run prison and send the terroist or detainess home. They will allow some who fear what their home country will do to them to come to the United States. Those coming in will be given a fair trial. All the other detainees where be sent back to have their home countries deal with them. America can no longer spent money on this prison because of the current economic crisis. Obama is trying to get as many funds as he can to lower unemployment and make sure the current generation can go to college without fear of not enough money.
President Obama is also trying to get his economic recovery package approved by congress , so they can start creating more jobs here in the United States.
