Sacrifice
Internet Q: As president what sacrifices will you ask every American to make to help restore the American dream and get nation out of economic morass?
McCain: Examine every agency and every bureaucracy of govt. I believe that we have to eliminate the earmarks. "We're going to have to tell the American people that spending is going to have to be cut in America, and I recommend a spending freeze." Except for defense and vet spending.
Obama: "A lot of you remember the tragedy of 911 and where you were on that day and how all of the country was ready to come together and make enormous changes to make us not only safer but to make us a better country and a more unified country." Bush said at the time -- Go out and shop. "I think the American people are hungry for the kind of leadership that is going to tackle these problems not just in government ... " Develop clean coal technology and safe ways to store nuclear energy. Everyone has to think about how we save energy in our homes, in our buildings. Buy fuel efficiency vehicles from the U.S. I think the young people of America are especially interested in how they can serve, one reason he's interested in doubling size of Peace Corps.
