We will repair broken schools, make them energy-efficient, and put new computers in our classrooms. Because to help our children compete in a 21st century economy, we need to send them to 21st century schools.</span></font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">As we renew our schools and highways, we’ll also renew our information superhighway. It is unacceptable that the United States ranks 15th in the world in broadband adoption. Here, in the country that invented the internet, every child should have the chance to get online, and they’ll get that chance when I’m President – because that’s how we’ll strengthen America’s competitiveness in the world.</span></font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">In addition to connecting our libraries and schools to the internet, we must also ensure that our hospitals are connected to each other through the internet. That is why the economic recovery plan I’m proposing will help modernize our health care system – and that won’t just save jobs, it will save lives. We will make sure that every doctor’s office and hospital in this country is using cutting edge technology and electronic medical records so that we can cut red tape, prevent medical mistakes, and help save billions of dollars each year."</span></font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; line-height: normal; ">----end clip----</span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="'Lucida Grande'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;">Full text of Saturday Morning Dec 6, 2008 Address:</span></font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="'Lucida Grande'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><a href="http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/the_key_parts_of_the_jobs_plan/">http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/the_key_parts_of_the_jobs_plan/</a></span></font></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; "><br></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="'Lucida Grande'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><br></span></font></p></span></div></body></html>
