I was given the opportunity to talk to president Obama about our current state of economy. We are at a devastating time, like the current crisis we are having with people are losing their homes because the current rate unemployment went up . In 1929-1939 we went through a time period in which we addressed as the Great Depression, if we do not want to go back to that we should use some alternative methods. Once I stepped foot into the White House I explored the area, I shook hands with his wife Michelle, and his two daughters Sasha, and Malia. The Secret Service escorted me to Obama's office for a one on one sessions, he gave me his autograph and then I started addressing the issue's that we are in. The national unemployment rate jumped from 4.7 percent to 5 percent in December, and according to government statistics, the number of jobs in the U.S.
During the Great depression, By spring of 1933, when FDR took the oath of office, unemployment had risen from 8 to 15 million (roughly 1/3 of the non-farmer workforce) and the gross national product had decreased from $103.8 billion to $55.7 billion.
I think if we do not want to repeat history we should focus on trying to help people find jobs so they could get their homes back. That means we should make more jobs available for people to get.
I think another good plan that Obama has is the stimulus plan, this plan makes it easier to secure or refinance mortgages for more expensive homes. This will also allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a year to buy loans of up to $729,750 which the limit now is $417,000, this would it easier for borrowers to qualify.1
I think this is a good idea because it gives people a chance to get out of the current troubles they are in. As the timer went off I thanked him for taking the time to listen and shook his hand.

Hahah i liked your blog but I think that you focused to much on being part of the white house. I think that you should spend more time on what you think will be write for the economy that Obama might do. I honestly think that you should take this out "Some advice I gave him was that he should just relax and do what you think is best for our country. I also said he should tell the stores to have a sale, that usually brings up sales" I dont think that he should be relaxing now with a lot of people losing their homes and jobs and I dont think that Stores having sales will cause stores to get more money. Overall I think that you need to choose a specific topic to talk about with obama like unemployment, education, housing market and others.
Also remember that it make reference to at least one current event and at at least two historical events, laws or circumstances
Remember that you are talking to Obama not about him at the last part you acted like you were talking about him
