Incoming, outgoing presidents offer dueling fixes for economy
WASHINGTON — The incoming and outgoing presidents Saturday urged solutions to the country's economic crisis that seemed to be worlds apart.
President-elect Barack Obama, reversing his post-election practice of not announcing major policy initiatives until he takes office, promised a sweeping, New Deal-like plan to jump-start the economy by creating 2.5 million public works and alternative-energy jobs as he implicitly criticized President Bush yet called for bipartisan support.
Bush, meeting with international leaders in Peru, warned against government intervention in free markets after weeks of overseeing one of the largest government financial interventions in U.S. history.
The two captains seemed to be trying to steer the ship of state in very different directions. Even more unusual was that Obama offered his policy prescriptions while Bush was abroad and speaking on a similar theme.
Obama, in the first of what aides say will be weekly radio addresses to the nation, said he will take aggressive steps to revive the economy after his Jan. 20 inauguration.
"I have already directed my economic team to come up with an Economy Recovery Plan that will mean 2.5 million more jobs by January of 2011 — a plan big enough to meet the challenges we face that I intend to sign soon after taking office," Obama said.
The bad news of recent days — marked by further stock declines, plus new data showing increased unemployment and declining home purchases — signaled "an economic crisis of historic proportions" with the "risk (of) falling into a deflationary spiral," Obama said.
While saying he "will need and seek support from Republicans and Democrats," Obama indirectly blamed Bush and his GOP congressional allies for much of the current malaise.
"There are no quick or easy fixes to this crisis, which has been many years in the making, and it's likely to get worse before it gets better," Obama said. "But January 20th is our chance to begin anew — with a new direction, new ideas and new reforms that will create jobs and fuel long-term growth."
Obama urged "long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long." He vowed to "put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children," developing wind and solar power and making more fuel-efficient cars.
Obama has already had a positive impact on financial markets by allowing the leak Friday of his selection for the next Treasury secretary, Tim F. Geithner, president of the New York Federal Reserve Board. Battered markets rose in response.
Chris Byrne, a White House spokesman, said Obama had not spoken with Bush or given him notice about the radio address or its contents.
"We're talking about the president-elect, and certainly it's his prerogative to give such an address if he chooses to do so," Byrne said.
Byrne declined to comment on Obama's indirect criticisms or substantive economic claims.
Obama's aides defended his speech.
"Barack Obama made it clear that he wants to hit the ground running as president, and a critical part of that is developing the economic plans necessary to create job growth and stimulate the economy," said Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman.
Obama earlier spoke with Bush about the president-elect's plans to revive the economy, Psaki said, and he has reached out to Republican leaders in Congress to lay the groundwork for moving legislation after the inauguration.
Obama, she added, will continue to give weekly radio addresses.
Bush, on his last official foreign trip as president, acknowledged there had been "economic turmoil," but he urged other leaders at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Lima, Peru, to "resist the temptation to overcorrect by imposing regulations that would stifle innovation and choke off growth."
While Bush said the spreading global crisis shows "there are times when government intervention is essential," he added that it should be only temporary.
"I think we ought to focus our efforts on three great forces for economic growth — free markets, free trade and free people," Bush said.
The dueling addresses by Democrat Obama and Republican Bush highlighted their stark differences over the long-term role of government in stimulating economic growth.
Bush criticized Congress for failing to ratify bilateral free-trade agreements his administration has negotiated with Colombia, Panama and South Korea.
Despite the financial fears now gripping much of the world, Bush took credit for having helped spur economic growth in many countries by opening markets, expanding trade and providing U.S. aid.
"Our nations must maintain confidence in the power of free markets," Bush said.
Obama painted a darker picture. He praised Congress for passing "a long-overdue extension of unemployment benefits" but said more urgent steps are needed.
"We have now lost 1.2 million jobs this year, and if we don't act swiftly and boldly, most experts believe that we could lose millions of jobs next year."
While Obama said he would "welcome ideas and suggestions from both sides of the aisle," he added: "But what is not negotiable is the need for immediate action."
Just the name Geithner made stocks soar. Why?
Congress 'bails' on helping the auto industry. Now what?

He's a competitor, posting a 2.51 ERA in his Coors Field cameos. And he's a hitter, primed to join Mike Hampton, Jason Jennings and Aaron Cook as Rockies' starters who have commanded respect in the batter's box.
Marquis, 30, owns a .206 career average — OK, he's a pitcher, not the everyday left fielder. And last season he hit two home runs with 10 RBIs. The ability to hit can pay dividends in decisions. When a manager trusts a pitcher to handle the bat, he sticks around for an extra inning rather than immediately being pulled for a pinch-hitter at first glance after the fifth inning.
Marquis grew up in New York, and there was some rumblings the Cubs would send him to the Mets. The issue with the Mets is that they are focused on landing a top-of-the-rotation starter, namely Derek Lowe. The two sides remain far apart on dollars, which brings us to Tim Redding.
Redding remains on the Rockies' radar. And for good reason. He could come in around $3 million, won 10 games for a horrible Nationals' squad last season and beat the Phillies three times. Redding has commanded the most attention from the Mets and Orioles. If the Lowe sweepstakes drags out, Redding could end up taking an opportunity elsewhere. This is the time of year, with 39 days until spring training and less than half of the players signed, that free agents begin flying off the board.
Look for the Rockies to address bench issues once they have added Marquis. Scott Podsednik and the Rockies have mutual interest. Colorado, however, is offering only a non-guaranteed deal for Podsednik, whose speed could be beneficial even in a reserve role with the departure of Willy Taveras. Colorado added utilityman Luis Gonzalez last week.
The Washington Nationals have signed left-hander Will Ledezma to a $750,000 minor-league deal. … The White Sox agreed with Randy Williams on a $410,000 minor-league deal … As part of Tony Clark's $800,000 contract with the Diamondbacks, he will receive a $500,000 bonus if traded. It's a defacto no-trade because Clark wants to finish his career with Arizona.

Why put time and money into a boat that you're not going to use for six months? That's an all-too-common attitude when it comes to winterizing chores. Beeeg mistake. Winter weather can wreak havoc (cracked blocks, corrosion, etc.) on a boat that's not prepared for hibernation. Another tip: If your boat needs professional help and you wait until spring to get it, you're hitting the boat doctor at his busiest time. So it pays to take care of any problems and dealer-required maintenance in the fall, before your craft is clutched by winter's icy grip.
The Hull Story
Winterizing is more than just sloshing in some fuel stabilizer, draining the engine and adding antifreeze. Consider it to be a methodical process that runs from bow to transom. Because boats and engines differ, start by checking the winterizing/storage sections of your owner's manual.
Fiberglass is made to stand up to the ravages of summer sun and salt water, so a little snow is not a problem - or is it? Ice accumulation can split open hatches and window tracks, causing leaks. So outside storage demands the proper boat cover. More on this later.
Check the hull, looking for stress cracks (common around the bow eye) and gelcoat blisters. Stress cracks can indicate structural damage, and anything serious should be looked at by a professional. The drill with blisters is to puncture, drain, dry and patch with an epoxy-based filler made for this purpose. If your hull is aluminum, bang the drum slowly with a rubber mallet to knock out dents.
Barnacles and any other unwelcome guests tagging along on your boat bottom should have their free-ride privileges terminated by scraping and then sanding any residue. A good pressure washing is in order to remove dirt and the dreaded sea scum. You'll make this job a lot easier in the future if you apply a product such as 3M's Marine Ultra Performance Paste Wax. It creates an acrylic shield over the hull to prevent dirt from penetrating into the wax. The crud stays on the surface where it can be hosed off easily.
Inside Scoop
Winter air can be humid or dry, and both conditions can bring grief to vinyl interiors. Vinyl cleaners and protectants, available in gels and sprays, can prevent your vinyl from drying out and cracking. More insidious is moisture that opens the door to mildew. More than one boat owner has unzipped his boat in the spring only to find the interior looking like a science project with mold and mildew everywhere. The fix here is to vent your boat cover for good airflow to minimize trapped moisture. Mildew sprays are a big help, as are chemical dehumidifiers that pull excess moisture from the air.
Not content with just getting cozy with your interior, moisture likes to do other nasty things, like corrode your on-board electronics and electrical system. If your wiring is of the non-marinized variety, it's especially prone to corrosion that can cause shorts, blown fuses and a big migraine - with a large service bill to match. Remove any electronics that you can, and let them winter in a kinder environment. Then, spray all exposed electrical connections with a moisture-displacing lubricant. Now is also the time for a thorough cleaning of all brightwork, vacuuming/washing of the carpets and deck, and a general overall grime-busting expedition.
If your boat has a removable head, clean and dry it before you store it. Built-in units, including sinks and showers, should be drained and pumped with antifreeze.
When choosing a boat cover, make sure the cover protects the waterline. Polytarp covers are relatively inexpensive but, as with any cover, they should be used with a frame to distribute the weight of snow evenly and away from the weak areas of the boat. You can make your own frame from 2 x 4s or 2 x 2s or PVC pipe. There are also kits that allow you to make a reusable frame from aluminum tubing using special clamps that attach the tubes at any angle.
Strapping along the ridge of the frame can be used in lieu of 2x2's or 2x4's. The strapping is thin enough to flex which makes a nice smooth arch to shape the shrink wrap. This is better for deflecting water, snow, and and ice. In heavier snow areas, you may want to use two layers of strapping for extra support as it's often knotty and weak. Use screws as it's much easier to take the frame apart and reuse.
Polyvinyl covers are often used for maximum water repellency and resistance to mildew and stains. Be sure the cover is securely tied down or taped so wind won't get underneath the cover, blowing in snow or shredding the cover itself.
Shrink wrap is another alternative to cover your boat, and when installed correctly, won't be suspect to heavy snows or falling objects that otherwise could dislodge a tarp.
Motor Matters
Winter's biggest dangers to engines are freezing, corrosion and fuel degradation. Pull the engine cover and check for such problems as frayed or loose wires, connections and clamps. Check the condition of all hoses and replace those that are mushy or that show cracks. Check the condition of the belts and adjust the tension if necessary. Touch up any paint nicks to prevent corrosion. Run the engine up to temperature and change the oil and filter.
Flush the engine with fresh water. Some outboards have an attachment for a garden hose to make the job easier. Otherwise, use "earmuffs" to reverse flush outboards and sterndrives. Idle the engine when flushing, making sure it doesn't overheat, until the water flushes clean. Clean all outboard telltales with a piece of wire, and store the engine in a vertical position to make sure the water drains completely. Even a small amount of water left in the engine can freeze and cause big damage. Inboards and sterndrives require refilling with propylene glycol antifreeze to prevent small ice pockets from forming, which can crack the block.
Gasoline breaks down in storage - the lighter factions evaporating off and the heavier ones forming a jet-clogging and injector-sticking varnish. The degrading action can begin in as little as two weeks, and the fuel's octane rating decreases in the process. Add fuel stabilizer to the tank and idle the engine for 10 to 20 minutes to distribute stabilizer throughout the system.
To protect engine internals from rust and corrosion, remove the engine flame arrestor and spray fogging oil down the carburetor with the engine running. Shut off the fuel supply - either with the fuel valve or by pinching off the fuel line - to burn up the remaining fuel in the carb/fuel-injection system. When the engine stops, pull the spark plugs and squirt some fogging oil into the cylinders. Rotate the engine a few times for a good oil coating and reinstall the plugs. An alternative is to disable the ignition and crank the engine while spraying fogging oil down the carb.
Fogging oil is relatively sticky, and there's a possibility of it hanging up an injector if it's used on fuel-injected engines. To be on the safe side, use two-cycle oil instead of fogging oil, following the above procedures. Also, add some two-cycle oil to the fuel along with the stabilizer.
On four-cycle engines, the main jets in the carb are so small that even a tiny amount of fuel left in the carb can gum them up. You need to remove the carb drain plug to extract all of the fuel.
Moving to the stern end, wedge a block of wood between the prop and anti-ventilation plate, loosen the prop nut and pull the prop. Check the condition of the prop, hub and splines. Changing the water pump impeller is cheap insurance against water pump failure next season.
Drain the gear case lube and look for a milky color, which would indicate water in the oil. Also look for metal chips, which mean your gears are grinding more than horsepower.
If you're conscientious about winter maintenance, your reward will be a quick launch in the spring - instead of time spent stuck on the trailer.

Final tip: When storing your boat on land and plan on having the hull painted before you use it again, park the boat over a flat surface and be careful not to park over poison ivy as this can cause an unwelcome surprise for you and your painter.
