August 1st, 2009: Economic numbers prove stimulus worked.
President Obama said his administration's economic policies are succeeding and to
defend the $787 billion stimulus package.
The report showed that in the first few months of this year, the recession we faced
when he took office was even deeper than anyone thought at the time. But it has
revealed that in the last few months, the economy has done measurably better than
expected. The president said, many economists suggest that part of this progress is
directly attributable to the Recovery Act.
The president also used his weekly radio address to promise to work until
every American who wants a job can find one.
The president went so far as to make the bold claim during the address that
he will not rest until a job is available to any American who wants to work.
"As far as I'm concerned, we will not have a recovery as long as we keep
losing jobs," Obama asserted. "And I won't rest until every American who wants a
job can find one." It is really team building in that Vice President Biden also plays
a key role.

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) described the Ten Commandments in the Holy Quran as follows:
007.144 (God) said: "O Moses! I have Chosen thee above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee)
and the words I (have spoken to thee): take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give
thanks." 007.145 And We ordained laws for him in the Tablets in all matters, both commanding and explaining
all things, (and said): "Take and hold these with firmness, and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in
the precepts: soon shall I show you the homes of the wicked,- (how they lie desolate)."
007.146 Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in defiance of right-them will I turn away
from My Signs: even if they see all the Signs, they will not believe in them; and if they
see the way of right conduct, they will not adopt it as the Way; but if they see the way of
error, that is the Way they will adopt. For they have rejected Our Signs, and failed
to take warning from them. 007.147 Those who reject Our Signs and the meeting in the Hereafter,-
vain are their deeds: can they expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought?

Prophet Jesus (Issa Alayhis-Salam) condensed the Ten Commandments into the following two general commands: "You shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." "You shall love
your neighbor as yourself."

Democratic Party continues to uplift our communities.
President Barack Obama is playing air guitar. Vice President Joe Biden is waving
at the photo pit.
The President's schedule of May 6th, 2009 was virtually clear except for
three pivotal meetings with leaders from two pivotal countries.
He was joined by Vice President Biden first for a meeting with President
Karzai of Afghanistan, then with President Zardari of Pakistan, and finally
for a trilateral meeting with both of them.
The meetings were productive with the presidents. They shared common
goals. Afterwards, Obama spoke to the press.
He believes the road ahead will be difficult. He hopes the countries someday will be linked by a "shared peace"
rather than a "common enemy".

The disease is originated in Mexico where 149
people have died. Mexico has closed all schools until at least May 6th,

The Centers of Disease Control has confirmed 40
cases of Swine Flu Virus in the United States. The U.S. Officials have
said not to panic, but remember that in 1968, a "Hong Kong" flu
pandemic killed about 1 million people worldwide. In 1918, a "Spanish" flu
pandemic killed as many as 100 million people. Therefore, it is very
important to have proper treatment of Swine Flu Virus. You may go to

United States Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of
Health Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to get most current information and help.
