Global Hour: New President: (again) Now what?
Dear students and scholars,
Global Hour is a weekly program of informal discussion that covers a wide range of topics. It is committed to facilitating the exchange of views and perspectives within a relaxed setting, while engaging important issues that highlight global and human conditions.
Title: New President: (again) Now what?
DATE: Thursday, November 13th from 6:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M.
VENUE: International House
This week in Global Hour we will continue to examine what we believe are the key issues and challenges that must be addressed in the first 100 days of President Obama. Imagine you are part of the inner circle…how do you advise the new president? Do you shoot for the moon like Kennedy or develop a “New Deal” like FDR? Resources are limited…expectations are high…What do you recommend be top priority?
Some Points and Questions to Ponder:
1. Is the national financial situation being handled adequately? a. What do you think are the root causes? b. What would you change in the US approach to the situation? c. When do you expect to see a turnaround? i. By the time you graduate?
2. Should the Big 3 US auto makers get a bailout? a. If so what strings do you attach? 3. In general terms where do you spend fewer dollars and where do you spend more?
