As autumn winds blow threw Washington D.C., President Obama is also causing new winds of change to sweep through the nation.
On September 27th, 2010, Mr. Obama signed a new bill to aid small businesses. The bill will hopefully give small businesses more financial assistance by cutting taxes and making loans more available. The struggling economy has negatively impacted small businesses and entrepreneurs. Obama blamed the delay of this bill on Republican leadership and according to The New York Times' political blog, The Caucus, the president regretted that the bill was blocked by a Republican minority in Congress.
As he hits the campaign trail over the upcoming weeks beginning at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Obama will be sharing his message about this bill. However, will his audience listen? Experts have noticed that the Obama administration's efforts to bring relief to the economic crisis have not helped as much as promised on the previous campaign trail. Will this bill provide relief or add financial stress to other businesses, as well as tax payers? Also, if this bill is not as successful as planned, who will the president blame this time?
