President-elect Barack Obama, Congratulations on winning the election. It was a historic victory for America. Many people including myself are anxious to see all that you can accomplish in your first term as president of the United States. So many people have put their time and effort into raising money for the campaign. Those of us who have know it was worth it. As president, I believe that a major problem that will require your undivided attention is our failing economy. This is an issue that needs to be addressed with special focus and haste. This is undoubtedly the most important issue, because no other problem can be addressed until the economy is in a secure place. It affects everyone in the country, regardless of how much money they make. With the economy in the state it is presently in, people are suffering in multiple ways. Houses are being foreclosed, because homeowners can’t afford to pay mortgages. People are losing their jobs due to the fact that businesses are cutting back because they can’t get bank loans. Businesses can’t get loans, because major banks are failing as a result of the credit crisis. There are several other major problems to be dealt with in the United States, but they can only be fixed If the economy is in a secure place. Problems such as healthcare need to be put aside until our economy is re-stabilized, because many people have healthcare through their employers, but since jobs are constantly being lost, so is healthcare. Though it does need to be addressed, our unhealthy environment is another problem that needs to be put off until the economy is fixed. The production of things such as cleaner fuel cars cannot yet happen, because it cannot yet be paid for. Companies cannot invest in making those problems, because they cannot get credit from the bank. I am confident that you have put thought into each issue and how to deal with it. The American people need results, which can only be brought to them through carefully planned action. I have watched you deliver speeches and raise supporters with your promise of change. I believe in this first term you can make it happen. Thank you for taking the time to hear me voice my opinion.
