Statements by the counselor Christina Romer are shared with a week-door key to efforts to define and promote the presidential program of recovery.

We’ll see signs that the economy is recovering, Romer said the program Fox News Sunday, head of the Council of Economic Advisers in the White House.

In an appearance on the program State of the Union from CNN, Romer said he had every expectation, just like private analysts, fund that will play this year and actually be growing again by year-end.

Obama steps to reverse a deep recession and restructuring of the damaged U.S. financial system have implications globally. In early April he will meet with leaders of major industrialized and developing countries at a summit of G20.

BOND ISSUES AND THE BUDGET BATTLE

Obama came to the defense of Geithner, including some Republican demands to resign, saying on the CBS program 60 Minutes that it would not accept the resignation of his secretary of the Treasury.

The new White House team, which inherited the crisis from the government of George W. Bush also is trying to win support from high-cost items in the budget record of $ 3.5 trillion of Obama for the fiscal year 2010, not very welcome among the Republicans in Congress.

It is planning for our economic future, a vision of the United States where the growth is not based on real estate bubbles or leveraged banks, but on firm foundations of investment in energy, education and health that will lead to a real and lasting prosperity, said Obama Saturday in his weekly radio appearance.

The budget committees of the Senate and House are ready to begin shaping their projects this week.

Republican Senator Judd Gregg was ready to fight Obama on the budget projected losses of 1.75 trillion U.S. dollars this year and 1.17 billion dollars for the next fiscal year.

The president of the Senate’s budget committee said he agreed with increased spending in the short term, but that fiscal discipline is critical to long term.
