President-elect Barack Obama on Saturday urged lawmakers to quickly pass at least “a down payment” on a new economic rescue plan to help resuscitate the ailing American economy.
In a radio address that was also published as a YouTube video on his Web site (www.change.gov), Obama noted that the leaders of G-20 nations were in Washington this weekend to seek solutions to the economic turmoil that has spread around the world.
“I’m glad President Bush has initiated this process because our global economic crisis requires a coordinated global response,” Obama said.

“And yet, as we act in concert with other nations, we must also act immediately here at home to address America’s own economic crisis.”
At the same time, Obama moved to fill out more of his staff as he prepares to take power on January 20. A senior campaign adviser and former housing developer, Valerie Jarrett, will serve as senior White House adviser.
Another senior campaign adviser, Phil Schiliro, will serve as his legislative affairs adviser. Vice President-elect Joe Biden announced earlier this week that former Clinton administration official Ron Klain will serve as his chief of staff, a job he held for Al Gore.
“These individuals will be essential members of our team as we work to bring Republicans and Democrats together to strengthen our struggling economy and make Washington work for all Americans,” Obama said in a statement.
In his radio address, Obama noted that financial markets are volatile, unemployment insurance claims have jumped to their highest levels since September 11, 2001, and more jobs are disappearing.

Hey Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Alex Jones is getting tired people, he cant go on like this too much longer without our help. We must assist him in new and creative ways. And stop all this speculation about AJ being a secret agent for the NWO. Each of us has a hidden sixth sense we sometimes call our “gut” feeling. Now you know damn well Alex is not in league with these child molesting globalist pig sphincters. So the guy is not perfect, neither are you, so the guy cant sponser every little pipe-dream Truth project that people call in with telling Alex “you need to start a….” or “you need to assemble a team of…” or “Alex, you should start your own nation-state and get everyone to….” , jee freakin wiz people, Alex is already doing 1000X more than any of us is, and yet we call him everyday with our 2 bong hit ideas to save the world. Then if he does not coddle and baby the fragile caller with kid gloves, he gets accused of being in every secret evil cabal on the planet. The guy is human. He is awesome, he is one in a billion, but he is human, so cut him some freakin slack lead-chips. Next time all you armchair World Saviors come up with the master plan to save us all and defeat the New World Order, DO IT YOURSELF, instead of trying to put it on Alex Jones’ already overflowing plate. Stop not using your gut man. Trust yourself. Unplug once in awhile. Check out Survivalistseeds.com and Big John Lipscombs awesome website DontTreadOnMe.tv Alex Jones and Big John Lipscomb are the New World Order’s worst nightmare. Now lets get creative, lets pray hard and implement workable action-plans to educate the people and shine LIGHT into the shadowy places. You and Me, we can do this. Lets do the right thing, for the kids and the coming generations who will inherit one hell of a freakin trainwreck of a world, IF we dont man-up and get some cutting edge publicity for the cause. Now,… I am going to pray and meditate, and discover what I can do to make the world more sane and balanced than it is now. Isvara strengthen and guide us to victory over evil. Through LOVE. I am becoming stronger everyday. My faith is growing with each beat of this heart. The roadblocks layed out by the NWO will not stop us, each attack they send makes me stronger. Their plan will backfire. Their curses will come back at them 10x more powerful.
