  6. Partial Body Paragraph Because of the current international recession, President Obama has had to immediately focus on and revolutionize the economy of the United States. As Obama has warned however, change will not happen immediately. At its best, the Obama administration does not rush, sugar-coat, or try to appease quickly (Klein 32). To overhaul the economy, major financial institutions will have to reconfigure and that change will take time. As President Obama said, “It is simply not sustainable to have an economy where, in one year, 40% of our corporate profits came from a financial sector that was based on inflated home prices, maxed-out credit cards, over-leveraged banks and overvalued assets” (32).
