The evangelical Christian vote in the U.S. and in states like Ohio in the 2012 U.S. presidential election
09/16/2010
The evangelical Christian vote helped president George W. Bush win Ohio in 2004 by 2 points, countering the Democratic vote in Cuyahoga county around Cleveland. McCain failed to connect with evangelicals in 2008. The evangelicals, and pastors like Jerry Falwell and Billy Graham, the head of the Southern Baptist Convention, and evangelical Christian organizer Ralph Reed are organizing support for Romney in 2012. Obama's support for gay marriage is one issue, another is alienating of Catholic communities in some aspects of Obama legislation. The selection of a conservative Catholc from Wisconsin, Paul Ryan, as running mate is also creating increased fervour among evangelicals.

The Auto Industry Bailout and Mitt Romney
01/06/2008
Mitt Romney opposed the auto industry bailout. An article by Romney with the title "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," appeared in the New York Times at the time of the bailout. Auto executive Bob Lutz says he was profoundly disappointed by Romeny's position, as the situation was at a point where government loans were necessary. Auto executives see the vindication of their position in the recovery of Chrysler, GM and Ford Motor. In a bit of irony Romney, who is from Michigan, announced his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election at the Ford Museum in Dearborn. GM and Chrysler went into bankruptcy, but this was a planned bankruptcy, with the support of the U.S. government and a pathway set with loans and conditions so that would lead to eventual recovery. The fear was that a chaotic bankruptcy process would permanently impair the American auto manufacturing industry- and the planned bankruptcy with government conditions and loans was meant to avert this and still allow shedding or restructuring of burdensome obligations- as this way buyers would still have confidence to buy automobiles from GM and Chrysler. Auto executives point out that the private markets had already shut out GM and Chrysler from financing. Retired GE executive supported a planned bankruptcy with government help, because of the importance of the auto industry to the U.S. economy, in the Nov. 18, 2008 issue of Business Week.

01/06/2008
With the government's investment in GM and its clear mandate for higher fuel efficency under the Obama administration, and with Ford's committment to fuel efficiency leadership, as well as the operation of Chrysler by Italian small carmaker Fiat, the move is towards smaller cars, large gains in fuel efficiency, and investment in hybrid cars.

Looking back: An assessment of the management of the U.S. economy in Obama's first term 2008-2012
03/11/2009
Why were significant resources not invested to aid homeowners under water just as resources were provided to the auto industry? And why was there a lack of focus on unemployment in this period? The challenges were difficult but did the Obama administration do what could have been done. The auto industry bailout was an easy call considering Obama's commitment to increasing fuel efficiency during his days in Congress. Housing was a tougher call with bankers cautious and influencing policy, yet even Republicans Martin Feldstein and Sheila Bair were calling repeatedly for strong action. Tackling housing first and healthcare later after economic recovery, is likely to have produced better results, credibility for the administration, and a broad consensus in the U.S.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
