The Presidents weekly address has become a platform for him to push Health Care Reform. On July 17, 2009 The President called on Congress to seize this opportunity – one that may not come again for decades – and finally pass health care reform: "It’s about every family unable to keep up with soaring out of pocket costs and premiums rising three times faster than wages. Every worker afraid of losing health insurance if they lose their job, or change jobs. Everyone who’s worried that they may not be able to get insurance or change insurance if someone in their family has a pre-existing condition.
The president hopes to get reform passed this year.

This was another exceptionally busy week around the White House. Credit Card Reform to NFL Players. Barack Obama was on the move as usual.

President Obama took a moment Thursday, May 21. 2009 to welcome the Superbowl Champions Pittsburgh Steelers to the White House, along with approximately 50 Wounded Warriors from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval Medical Center and their families.  Afterwards they all joined up to work with USO to assemble 3,000 care packages for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan

Commencements are happening all across the country, but ones for military grads are special. These you men and women will be protecting America by serving.

Finally someone is knocking the credit card companies down a notch. It can be difficult to think of an issue that touches more people, or can get a rise out of more people, than credit card fine print, fees, and staggering interest rate hikes. For some it is an irritation, for people who have already hit a rough patch, it can become a brutal weight to carry having credit card debt.

This has been another busy week for Barack Obama. The President recaps progress made this week  in energy reform including clean energy initiatives to bring utility companies corporate leaders and Eco Friendly groups together.

Obama truly believes by working together we can all end our dependence on foreign oil and live in a clean environment.
