FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 29, 2009
President Obama Extends Gulf Coast Rebuilding Office, Pushes for Improved Long-Term Recovery Following Catastrophic Disasters
White House Also Announces President Obama to visit Gulf Coast in Mid-October
Washington, D.C. – Signaling his continued commitment to Katrina-Rita recovery, President Barack Obama announced he will visit the Gulf Coast in mid-October and see first-hand the progress in the region. President Obama also today signed an Executive Order extending the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Recovery and Rebuilding for six months. The Office of the Gulf Coordinator was first established November 1, 2005.
Since taking office eight months ago, the Obama Administration has worked hard to provide residents of the Gulf Coast with the tools that they need to recover from the hurricanes, and to rebuild their lives and communities. The Administration is deeply committed to serving the needs of Gulf Coast residents by cutting through the bureaucratic red tape that has delayed assistance and improving coordination among federal agencies and with state and local partners. As a result, more than $1 billion in public assistance projects that had been stuck for years have been obligated since the start of the Administration, including fire and police stations, health clinics, libraries, and university buildings. In addition, thousands of individuals who had been trapped in temporary disaster housing are on the road to self-sufficiency. The Recovery Act is providing significant resources to the Gulf, providing support to communities and individuals while also supporting the region’s infrastructure and creating and saving jobs in critical areas like education and law enforcement.
In addition, President Obama is taking steps to improve disaster recovery efforts across the country. A six-month effort led by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan will examine lessons learned during previous catastrophic disaster recovery efforts, areas for improved collaboration between federal agencies and between the federal government and state and local governments and stakeholders. The effort also will review federal disaster recovery programs for efficacy and review methods to build capacity within state, local and tribal governments as well as within the non-profit, faith-based and private sector.
More details on President Obama’s trip, including credentialing instructions, will be released as they become available.
*Executive Order attached*

Enough Already, If You Voted For President Obama Then Send The Message to The Congress And The Senate That If They Want Our Support In 2010 And 2012 Get on Board With The Presidents Budget And Policies or we will Find People Who Will Support Him. It’s Time Those Democrats Grow A Backbone and Do What’s Right For The People Who Put Them There!!! We took two years to get President Obama Elected to follow through on his promises to fight for the common people. Now it’s not the Republicans who stand to jam up the works, but Evan Bayh of Indiana and his group of weak Democrats that obviously didn’t pay attention to what the voters were saying in November. If Evan Bayh and his follower don’t back and vote for the Presidents budget and policies, then it’s time to vote them out of office and bring people in that will work with the President and support him. It was not bad enough that they all voted themselves a pay raise when the country is in such bad shape, but then to say they can not support the president’s budget because it raise the deficit to high. Tell the family that has lost their house, or their jobs, or through no fault of their own get evicted because the people they rent from lost the house and they have to get out. Evan Bayh you need to suck it up and do what’s right for the common people not all the Bank Folks you took money from, those days have got to come to an end. This just really makes me angry that our own party would derail the only chance we AMERICANS have to recoup some of the equality we have lost over the last eight years. So if they won’t support the President then we need to support democrats that will run against them that will support our President. Let’s send the message quickly that if these Congressman and Senators don’t support the President they can look for new employment elsewhere.

It’s time for everyone to just sit back and take a deep breathe and give President Obama’s policies time for the ink to dry before asking how are they working!!! If everyone on both sides of the fence would put their Greed away and start to do what’s good for everyone “and that didn’t include passing a pay raise for themselves either”, they would find the American people would have more faith in their ability govern fairly. The Helio Castroneves Tax Fraud case is a perfect example of unfair governing, the Treasury secretary got pardoned of penalties but a Race Car Driver who has a contract with a payment that he has not received yet, and they uproot his life and livelihood with a Tax Evasion law suit. It’s time to remember that we now live in a society of perception, if we perceive it to be it is, and that’s a shame that we don’t take the time to separate fact from fiction anymore or take the time to think things through and make our own minds up and not be swayed by others. As the president has said things are not always as bad nor as good as they are portrayed to be. I know for a fact that in the automotive business that Sema just did a survey and found out that 28% of Warehouse Distributors said business is up, Used Car sales are up and the repair parts business is looking better. I personally know of twenty people going back to work in the construction business, that didn’t think they would be working this year. So if we all just help one another out in any way we can, we will find out that “Yes We Can” Survive, sound familiar thought you might remember it. Now let’s all just start living it. I truly believe from all the companies and consumers I talk with that everyone believes the worst is behind us and better days are right around the corner. So hang in their, Pray and believe in whom we elected to do the right things and it will be just fine. God Speed to President Obama.

Congratulations new USA Congress, Leaders, and Mr. President, the sun of a government has rising; may it flourish in God’s speed. The first vote of the new Congress was over shadowed with the remnant of a cloud of old party line 20TH Century party driven mentality minus united front solution mature congressional spirit to get the government moving.
A pro Democratic initial bill and a politic as usual disposition from our Republican House that pressured members of both parties to play the ‘ole pork and barrel party politics’ and reflected a lack of trust beyond party line at the time of one of the most serious economic crises in the history of our national and other international. There is a need for sensitivity, matrix of inclusion, crises intervention, safety & security training and I’m o.k. your o.k. sessions for congressional leadership. Please do not take this comment lightly or cynically.
Leaders please, expedite proportionately what is pressing, agreeable, accountable, and measurable for a test run quarter while other line items are filter through a new found bipartisan review through new found bipartisan review teams for crises intervention.
We must realize the democrats won the battle for policy leadership (see 2009 election results), that this is the spoilage. The people won the war of a call for a Bipartisan United States of America stimulus action change. Leaders and experts this is a call for us to endorse the rethinking of our old politics, and allowing a new politics with the inclusion of a bipartisan buffer zone! To overhaul our government’s operation and politic, we must include the republicans in multiple bipartisan review caucuses to avoid Eighteen to Thirty-Two (18-32) month of gridlock.
For the entire Republican to act in a partisan way rather than to vote accord to their individual merit reflect 'business as usual'. To later show a face for a social reflects 20th Century politics with the suppressed willingness to advance into the 21ST Century.
Leaders let’s do better; this was sad day for the 21St Century Advanced American citizens looking to embrace your Employment of Change. Leaders, to posture in this manner in a time of a national crisis are disastrous. What can we do? Enough said in November the following was posted a preference of foresight vs. hindsight: The time is now!
The Wisdom of Bipartisan Filtering by our USA Experts

November 27, 2008
Greetings John Martin, Co-founder and Director of Republicans for Obama and Obama for America Campaign Manager, David Plouffe, Fellow Citizens, Supporters and Leaders:
Let us pray for God’s will to be done and that we are guided through the crises that go beyond the U.S.A. coastlines!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, your families and the many communities abroad!
After our Thanksgiving festivities are over, let’s stop a moment to sit down and reason with one another, to ponder a thought or two about the Presidential Mandate from the people. The first thought that comes to my mind is, ‘the thought of absolute inclusion filtered through an appropriate government give and take processes model. This thought goes far beyond Party lines and has been a concern causing division within our political parties because of the extreme left’s or right’s staunch position within a political party. Members of the parties lacked the willingness of absolute compromise which is fostered into cooperation decision- making to deliver a universal stance rather rule with a collective a majority skewed stance of completion for party control leaving within its fold many unresolved closures on significant issues.
Presently many Republican and Democratic leaders are looking to expand their 19TH through 20Th Century ideological principles to catch up with or adjust to the ‘mind-set thinking process’ of the New 21ST Century Advanced U.S.A. Citizens’ “quest for change”. The spiral effects of the Educated Advanced Citizens and their votes of conscious have spoken loud and clear to both leading U.S.A. political parties and henceforth; we have President-Elect Obama at the helm and not the luminary projection of a party political steered nomination based on a party mandate.
The 21 ST Century Educated Advanced Citizens asked themselves the question, is the mission of their Party of choice for growth, change, and sensitive to needs of a new found unity within our U.S.A. coastlines? We must now thank God for the people’s choice of change and now everyone must ask themselves, ‘what can I do for my country within and beyond our country’s coastlines?’ What resources or skills do I have that can help navigate the course of the U.S.A. into clear waters beyond this stormy season? What can I do, country first---party second? Forgive me for my not elaborating on this subject that a totally different posting.
For now we must focus on the primary point or issue of thought, to wisely nurture unity, harnessing our national expertise, to allow the citizens and the world to know that the United States of America’s First Team-Elect is not asleep at the helm during this national and international crises epoch of raging storms.
There are names that are listed on the Republican for Obama web page that cite leading Republicans; what will and can they do for the United States of America? Many did take the similar bold step as Congressman Lieberman, seeking a solution beyond party lines. Have any of the names on the Republican for Obama web page been called to duty yet? Are they and you willing to sign a letter of consensus without contention to propose the forming of a Bipartisan Coalition Caucus within the 2009 Presidential Cabinet to oversee various bipartisan coalitions? Did anyone seriously consider the benefit of have a few bipartisan experts to guide such a caucus?
May I offer my apology if this process is on the drawing board, and I just did not get an opportunity to read copy of this document or hear about it yet? Perhaps, John Martin, Co-founder and Director of Republicans for Obama and Obama for America Campaign Manager, David Plouffe or their responsive delegates have been engaging in conferences for weeks, and I’m Jonny come lately. If this is so, wonderful, we are not leaving any of our resources untapped.
The bipartisan spirit is a two way street; it has a dual responsibility. The scriptures read, for everything there is a time and season. This is the time and this is the season. We as a responsible country must not leave any thing to chance, less we leave in our pathway to come the mirror of hindsight rather than the mirror of foresight and wisdom. I trust that the leaders of Republican for Obama have submitted name of viable responsible leading Republican experts to the transition team, via hand-delivery, supported by express mail after a collective conference was held and names of substance were scrutinized. For example, was Former Republican US Secretary General Collin Powell submitted to be amongst our leading foreign affairs experts? The voices of the Republicans for Obama are voices that can be heard clearly by the ears of the Obama for America team.
Do not forget the position of millions of Americans that went through genuine soul searching processes for the sake of a better United States of America. They took a stand and supported the USA Presidential Candidate they believe was the most solution driven to lead a bipartisan team into the future and had the distinguished fortitude of meeting the challenge of implementing a '21ST Century New Big Deal' for the United States of America!
I trust that we are not confused or cognitively pacified by the appointment of a few Republicans in key posts, and believe this would constitute a sound and adequate bipartisan effort within the President's Administration. We can not build America from a spectator position--both parties reasoned during the 2008 Presidential Election Campaign the need for bipartisan efforts for the next Presidential administration and they are both parties have invaluable experts.
Are we mature enough as leaders of this government to know we need a ‘Bipartisan Coalition to Expedite Crises Interventions' and for sure a Bipartisan Coalition Caucus to override old business as usual politics, expedite crises and avoid gridlock?
Who will serve among the appointed bipartisan experts in the proposed 'Bipartisan Coalition to Expedite Crises Interventions', a Cabinet Review Team, will act as a buffer zone, or a voice of communication to expedite swift and focus decisions for collective effectiveness between the Cabinet and The newly proposed board?
Will the leaders of the Republican for Obama, the Obama for America and other major support bases for change, take a stand for a new ‘Bipartisan Coalition to Expedite Crises Interventions' to work with bipartisan coalitions representatives in both congresses to expedite timely corrective action of pressing crises issues? Indeed this does put our government under an internal magnifying glass but, it is our magnifying glass.
Running the U.S.A. Government isn't a spectator’s activity like the Super bowl, we have the win lead ticket waiting for installation and we will now continue to be actively involved to gain additional national and international respect and keep it! It is most important that during these perilous times I must trust that this post goes beyond the doorstep of our President-Elect and Team Members, Congressman Governors, County Administrators, Mayors and Local Leaders but into your listening ears.
I pray that God will continue to bless the United States of America!
I have been registered an Independent Republican for over thirty years (3o yrs.) and grew up in a democratic stronghold in New Jersey. Why? As a political science statesman with an impartial concern for the public good, I did not want strictly political favoritism from spoilage only principle; I believe in the ‘two party’ check and balance U.S.A. system of government. I believe America is in the likeness of a giant business corporation that must continue to build by upgrading and overhauling its infrastructural; if we are to remain strong self-sufficient viable nation, we must be about business first and foremost! We can not just pacify economic issues with business, social, political or foreign repelling Band-Aids of minimum fringe benefits quality. We must ensure that our leaders avoid becoming fat cats or poverty pimps because they fail to yield no fair game of their responsibilities. A new found change is needed.
A Green Stimulus for education, training, entrepreneurship, microenterprise (the small business, typically with fewer than six employees, that does not have access to conventional sources of capital) must be our concern. Do you remember the small stores; we use to call them in the 20TH Century Ma and Pa stores? There are millions that want to be taught and are willing to learn how to fish and will agree to a half fish sandwich today, if this deal includes adequate training that will allow them to feed a village tomorrow.
Most important, these American citizens they sing ‘America the Beautiful’ too, although they live off main street, across Broadway, on both sides of the railroad tracks. And now, I am asking us to unite to pray that the people of the United States of America, of all classes, color, creed and gender develop an increase in their visual to the 360 degree eye sight of view of the turkey that many ate today. Collectively, a spiritual new eye sight will allow us to realize this is our inheritance.
I, E. RayE. Walker approve this independent posting on the behalf the Community-At-Large in the United States of America, petitioning your listening ears and power of the pens to unity and write legislations of advancement that spells out a through and efficient structured ‘Bipartisan Coalition to Expedite Crises Intervention’ within our Presidential Cabinet.
In spirit and truth,
God bless America!
EXCELLENCES
WASHINGTON, DC -- In a video announcement sent to supporters today, President-elect Obama announced the formation of Organizing for America. This is the next phase for the organization that was built during the campaign, offering volunteers the continued opportunity to work for change in their communities by organizing in support of reform in Washington.
This announcement follows a dialogue with Obama for America supporters across the country. More than 500,000 completed surveys following the election making clear their vision for the organization, and more than 4,200 hosted house parties in their communities. A clear majority believe that organizing in support of President-elect Obama’s agenda should be the most important goal for the organization.
Organizing for America will partner with Governor Kaine and the DNC.
“Change doesn’t come easy -- our work has just begun,” said Governor Kaine. “President-elect Obama has laid the foundation to meet the great challenges facing our nation, but we can succeed only if we build grassroots support for the administration’s agenda. As the DNC works to elect candidates who will support the change agenda, we will also invest in bottom-up efforts that ensure that the priorities of everyday Americans are heard in Washington.”
Further details about Organizing for America will be announced in the coming days. A link to the President-elect’s announcement, and a transcript, are below.

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMAIt is with deep regret that I accept Governor Bill Richardson's decision to withdraw his name for nomination as the next Secretary of Commerce.Governor Richardson is an outstanding public servant and would have brought to the job of Commerce Secretary and our economic team great insights accumulated through an extraordinary career in federal and state office. It is a measure of his willingness to put the nation first that he has removed himself as a candidate for the Cabinet in order to avoid any delay in filling this important economic post at this critical time. Although we must move quickly to fill the void left by Governor Richardson's decision, I look forward to his future service to our country and in my administration.
STATEMENT OF GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON
For nearly three decades, I have been honored to serve my state and our nation in Congress, at the U.N., as Secretary of Energy and as governor. So when the President-elect asked me to serve as Secretary of Commerce, I felt a duty to answer the call.I felt that duty particularly because America is facing such extraordinary economic challenges. The Department of Commerce must play an important role in solving them by helping to grow the new jobs and businesses America so badly needs.It is also because of that sense of urgency about the work of the Commerce Department that I have asked the President-elect not to move forward with my nomination at this time.I do so with great sorrow. But a pending investigation of a company that has done business with New Mexico state government promises to extend for several weeks or, perhaps, even months.Let me say unequivocally that I and my Administration have acted properly in all matters and that this investigation will bear out that fact. But I have concluded that the ongoing investigation also would have forced an untenable delay in the confirmation process.Given the gravity of the economic situation the nation is facing, I could not in good conscience ask the President-elect and his Administration to delay for one day the important work that needs to be done.So, for now, I will remain in the job I love, Governor of New Mexico, and will continue to work every day, with Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish, to make a positive difference in the lives of New Mexicans. I believe she will be a terrific governor in the future.I appreciate the confidence President-elect Obama has shown in me, and value our friendship and working partnership. I told him that I am eager to serve in the future in any way he deems useful. And like all Americans, I pray for his success and the success of our beloved country.
Below is a statement from President-elect Obama:
"Roland Burris is a good man and a fine public servant, but the Senate Democrats made it clear weeks ago that they cannot accept an appointment made by a governor who is accused of selling this very Senate seat. I agree with their decision, and it is extremely disappointing that Governor Blagojevich has chosen to ignore it. I believe the best resolution would be for the Governor to resign his office and allow a lawful and appropriate process of succession to take place. While Governor Blagojevich is entitled to his day in court, the people of Illinois are entitled to a functioning government and major decisions free of taint and controversy,"
