欧巴马的老板

欧巴马的老板
被誉为人类从二战以来最大、最重要的会议，讨论人类气候变迁和全球暖化课题，在哥本哈根召开，来自百多个国家，五千多人、一万多名志工，大家一起聚集一同商讨大事，主要是要发达的工业国，做出愿意减排、减碳的自我约束，同时要他们对世界贫穷国家做出赔偿，所以七十七个贫穷、落后的国家一起商讨对策，然后再向大会呈报。本来大家都不抱希望，因为美国开始时，并不打算出席的，他才不要被各国指责又要出钱赔偿呢！但是最后关键时刻，美国欧巴马总统决定出席，看来是有牛肉了。。。
我们这些安娣，本来是不知道什麽世界大会的，可是来了美国之后，茶余饭后话题就变了，什麽伊拉克战争、阿富汗增兵、美国健保。小女儿放学回来，还和姐姐讨论说索马里内战！！！！！怎么会这样？突然变得那么有深度？原来说穿了，全美国民众在盯着欧巴马看！别看这个全世界最强势的总统，他回到美国只是人民的仆人，所有的美国公民，都可以向他质问国家的政策和施政。在美国，你只要打开电脑，一上美国的新闻网，你马上可以第一时间知道，他的公开演讲、出席什麽公开会议！因为全美国在监督他！所以你看他在日本，跟天皇鞠个躬，回来就被人用言语修理他。他还要打起十二分的精神，说服美国人民改革健保！所以你在CNN的Live 中，可以看到为健保辩论的听证会。当他决定阿富汗增兵，所有的新闻电视台都一再讨论，阿富汗政策，反对者就在华盛顿抗议！他在前往哥本哈根之前，还在连锁超市，用美式的笑话提倡节能！叫你换掉你的门窗、电灯。。这样很Sexy，为什么会用Sexy?因为可以省下很多钱！省钱跟Sexy画上等号，这样美国人才能听进去！不过你放心，不管他讲什麽，都有人赞成和反对，无论如何，他都要解说他的施政，不然就由他的部长和重要搁揆出来讲话，否则美国人就要他好看！虽然现在美国的经济是受到很大打击，但是三餐还是可以的，他们没有的是以前的大房子、不可以买新的电脑、不能换IPOH，可是他们不是像很多贫穷国家一样，没吃没穿连水都没有！一般的美国家庭，一个月不出门买食物都不会饿死，因为家中顿粮食够多啊！没工作？找政府领失业金！家中没食物？去市政局登记，然后就可以推一篮食物回家！没地方住？去登记，暂时住政府的收容所！没衣服？去二手商店或慈善机构拿！我家中所有大的家具都是拿回来的！这就是为什么美国民众，还是可以每天用五块美金，买Subway the longfoot 照样吃！不要相信这个国家很惨！欧巴马不会让他的老板，在四年后炒他鱿鱼！他们怎么惨，也比不过我们海番村的居民惨！套句老话瘦死的骆驼比马大！我们的差别就是，我们不能把我们国家那几个“特大特小”的炒掉！

WASHINGTON - -- Looking for new ways to help plug the leaky job market, President Barack Obama pressed Congress on Tuesday to provide money to homeowners to improve energy efficiency -- and the economy -- by replacing doors, caulking windows and padding their attics with more insulation.

Obama said the idea "may not be very glamorous," but said he found insulation "sexy." Some lawmakers also are excited, saying the concept could help provide badly needed jobs for the building trades.

Some supporters have dubbed the program "cash for caulkers," because it would use direct government incentives to consumers to spur economic activity. The strategy is similar in some respects to the popular "cash for clunkers" rebates that sparked a surge in auto sales.

Under a proposal being considered by House Democratic leaders, $20 billion from February's economic stimulus package would be used to offer incentives from $1,000 to more than $3,000 for projects that improve home energy efficiency. About 5 million homes could be retrofitted under the plan, saving owners $3.3 billion on energy bills annually, backers said.

"Here's what's sexy about it: saving money," Obama said at aHome Depot store in Virginia.

The idea is simple, he said: The incentives would boost consumer spending, helping create jobs at retailers and for contractors doing the weatherization work. The program also would help consumers save on heating and electricity bills, as well saving on the nation's energy use.

But some Republicans are critical. They said the clunkers program paid money mostly to people who intended to buy cars anyway and argued that $5 billion in weatherization funds in the $787 billion stimulus package hasn't helped cut unemployment.
