More Than 1, Longer Than 4

9/22/12 by David Jackson, USA Today.

Obama addresses 18 thousand people at Milwaukee about fixing the economy. He states that it takes more than one term to fix the economy and goes back to his first term promise of 1 million new jobs. Obama said that this election could break his frustration that he has had with Washington. "We've got what it takes to succeed," Obama said, "but what's preventing us from realizing that potential is the politics in Washington. Part of what this election is about is giving people the voice to break that deadlock. It may be harder, but it leads to the better place." Obama says that Romney's plan is to give tax breaks to the Wealthy and give budget cuts to the middle class. Obama's ideas are to raise taxes on the wealthy and maintain government spending on education and energy.

Obama wants to keep his promise and add more jobs, he states that the politics in Washington are holding some of his policies back, and he wants to strengthen the middle class while having the wealthy pay a bit more in taxes.

The author did not take a position and decided to stay in between. This article could impact on what people think of Obama. They say he could not keep his promise in his first term and now deem him "not trustworthy". They expected too much, but then again, Obama did promise too much and bit off more than he could chew. This article may bring back the hope that some people lost in Obama.
