This week’s editorial that I found was in the Washington Post from the February 18th paper. The article was by Kathleen Parker, and it is called Be Calm and Prosper which is mainly about our economy right now and how President Obama is very supportive and still very positive on looking upon the future of the economy in our country. Obama has stated that there are times in this country where we have been in worse situations than now, such as what most of our grandparents have went through with the Great Depression. Obama believes we will make it through this crisis, stating that Americans are tough and resilient. The writer states that part of the greatest challenge of being President as Obama, is to convince the American people that their situation is serious while not scaring them into economic paralysis. Kathleen Parker, the writer of the article continues on remaining very supportive of Obama’s optimism and states that his optimism and faith is the best medicine for our country’s state right now and I agree with her on that. Staying positive can only bring a better output, we shouldn’t give up just because things look bleak. Obama believes that our goals are long term and our current economic situation should not be based on solely on what happens on one day in the stock market, whether it rises or falls. I enjoyed this editorial because it’s a good in hearing a different point of view on our economy rather than the average negative stuff you hear or read all the time on the news. It’s good to know someone is supportive and looking on a more positive perspective of our future.
