Obama's second inaugural address and policies for the second term 2013-2016
01/27/2013
An effort to preserve the New Deal programs in the same form and speaking to the progressive coalition of the 30's, 60's and 90's from FDR, Kennedy, and Clinton periods could be described as conservative. Doing this in 2013 in a post boomer era of slower growth presents challenges of a different kind.

The Reid-Boehner negotiations, the bipatisan effort of Susan Collins scuttled by Reid, Clinton-Obama conversations on strategy, distrust betwen Boehner and Reid, meeting between Ryan, Cantor, Boehner and president Obama, and the last minute McConnell-Reid deal raising the debt ceiling till February. Ryan and Cantor tell the president he is likely to lose his moment and make any second term agenda difficult by not discussing Republican terms.

Obama's second inaugural address and liberal vision for the second term as U.S. president 2013-2016
01/21/2013
A sense of urgency in the second inaugural address in 2012, a sense that the vision and purpose that Obama brought to the presidency four years ago is slipping away after years battling the economic crisis and working to bring health insurance to uninsured Americans. Most of the immigration agenda is still untouched, and only faltering progress in other areas. An even broader agenda with climate change, promoting gender equality, with continuing battles over the deficit and a short window of 2 years leaves less time.

President Obama's energy policy for the second term 2012-2016
12/27/2011
The lower prices of natural gas which can be substituted for coal in electricity production to reduce emissions without legislation gives Obama more energy policy flexibility during the second term. The increase in shale oil production which can generate new jobs is supported by Obama and this provides more flexibility to work with Republicans in the second term. The slump in solar energy panel prices removes another element of disagreement with Republicans by making investments in companies like Solyndra unattractive. This makes the second term energy policy prospects very different from the first term.

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.
