Jamie Gorelick’s Thoughts on the Obama Administration
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
During his inaugural speech in January 1960, President John F. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Kennedy was a Democrat like the United States’ President-elect Barack Obama. But that’s where the similarity stops.
Today, the U.S. is in need of a complete turnaround; in order to rise up, Obama will need to work hard on a couple of significant aspects that may either make or break the country’s future.
Jamie Gorelick, who is rumored to be one of those being considered for the post of Attorney General, shares her thoughts on what the Obama administration will need to do in an article featured in The Deal.com. Jamie Gorelick, a Democrat, once served as President Clinton’s Deputy Attorney General.
One of the first things the Obama administration will need to do, according to Jamie Gorelick, is to adopt a multipronged plan to help stimulate the economy. Drawing up a short-term economic plan will also be beneficial and will result in tax cuts and extension of unemployment benefits. This will help bring back money to the marketplace.
Jamie Gorelick reveals that Obama will most likely take a centrist stance on policy which is necessary if the government wants to rev up the economy.
When it comes to choosing his people, Jamie Gorelick thinks Obama will put a big weight on a person’s willingness to challenge his views as well as those who are honest enough to tell him if something has gone wrong. Jamie Gorelick also believes that Obama will choose people from diverse backgrounds.
Jamie Gorelick also believes that innovation and growth should both play a significant role.
