Current Event #5

This week I read a article from the Washington Post called "Arduous Transition Awaits Next President". The article was in the Sunday Washington Post talking about whoever becomes president they will be facing alot of major problems such as the economy, and have to assume the responsibility of being president well.

As it looks, Obama will have to deal with the Bush Economic Crisis and McCain will have to deal with the over spending with a Democratic Congress called back into special session with the goal of passing a new economic stimulus package. McCain also will however deal with the economic crisis, and both will need to bring balance back to the economy and government through new policies. The new president would also have to deal with their own promises, antiwar groups would press Obama to start the process of ending the war in Iraq, and conservatives would demand tax cuts from McCain. Top advisers said McCain would move quickly to implement the economic agenda he has promised, including tax cuts, business incentives, lower trade subsidies and controls on government spending that he says are bankrupting the country. Obama will have to keep his promise of Change and Hope, but has to deal with the policies that were created in the Bush administration. Obama lastly has his promises such as immigration reform, tuition assitance for college students, and a new ethnics code. People will wonder if he will whether really go with all these ideas if he assumes as the role of the new president. For McCain, he won't be able to slowly react to respond issues, he would have to act immediately on all.

Overall I see that whoever assumes as the new president they will have a very hard time dealing with all issues, and they will be under pressure for every issue that comes up or every issue that is under the minds currently of the citizens of the U.S.
