Barack Obama for president

Presidential candidates

Politics, the first thing that comes to mind, is political debate and responses discussed
upon the two parties. This race is not about the person who is running for President, it’s
mainly about the senate’s obligations and how he can make a difference for America. In
my prospective, the best candidate to run for office would be Barack Obama. My
reasoning why is, he as an American realizes the struggles our country face in today’s
society. America would want to vote for the best senate for office who wants to make a
change for the issues that are becoming a hassle. Topics such as, the education system
and economy. These are the two leading problems that have drastically gotten worse over
the past years. Senator Obama believes that he can proceed by doing so by getting the
voters attention, and were we as a country can help influence these issues.

Barack believes that turning off the television and being more active with our children
can have a huge impact on a child’s life. Reading to our children early in life so that they
can have an appreciation for what life provides them is the key to success. As a result of
these following issues, the law has failed to provide high-quality teachers in every
classroom and failed to adequately support the teachers. One of the most reliable
predictors of problems in school for a child is family instability. America has the highest
dropout rate, only 70% of U.S high school students graduate with a diploma. African
Americans and Latino students are most likely not to graduate rather than white students.
Students from two-parent families tend to do better than children from one-parent
families- not in all cases. Obama explains the importance of families staying together,
and how more African-American men meeting their responsibilities as fathers could have
a greater impact on improving education than either the liberal or conservative
prescriptions. Getting teachers and principles to become more involved in the child’s
education instead of giving up before trying to understand them. The high school drop-
out rate is increasing every day, kids without an education become more likely to not
have a successful career.

Obama’s plan for the educational system is to start with reforming NCLB, which means
enforcing a new law. Barack will improve the assessments used to track the student’s
progress to know how well they’re prepared for college. The NCLB will also be used to
support schools that need improvement rather than punishing them. Senator Obama
hopes that these transitions will help motivate those who want to go to college. Obama
stresses another issue which is the economy. The Bush tax cuts give those who earn over
$1 million dollars a tax cut nearly 160 times greater than that received by middle-income
Americans. At the same time, this administration has refused to tackle health care,
education and housing in a manner that benefits the middle class. Barcak’s relief plan
would include a $25 billion State Growth Fund to prevent state and local cuts in health,
education, housing, and heating assistance or counterproductive increases in property
taxes, tolls or fees. Obama’s relief plan will also include $25 billion in a Jobs and
Growth Fund to prevent cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund school re­pair
all to save more than 1 million jobs in danger of being cut. This can help re-store the lack
of survival needs for families all over and put the tax payments to what really matters.
John McCain has a plan of his own. Under his plan, the United States will be telling oil
producing countries and oil speculators that our dependence on foreign oil will come to
an end. He then predicts that America will have a strong economy, getter purchasing
power for oil, gas, and food. I do agree with both candidates plan to restore the economy
of America because these are all things that we hope to develop. A better health- care
plan, and the strategy to put tax cuts against reasonable things such as school funding.
Obama will also eliminate all taxation on seniors who make less than $50.000 per year.

Both Senators differ from the same topics. Senator Barack Obama believes
that schools are charged with the responsibility and the direct authority deliverer to
provide the given resources to educate. Senator John McCain thinks otherwise, he states
that there is no equal opportunity without equal access to excellent education. John
McCain believes that we can no longer accept low standards for some students and high
standards for others. He believes we should let them compete for the most effective,
character-building Teachers, hire them, and reward them. This goal plan is not exactly
what were after. The preparation for our children’s future is what parents hope for. I
strongly agree on the morals that Barack Obama displays. As a student, I want the best
education I can receive so I can better my self for the future to come. I disagree with the
fact that Senator McCain wants to reward teachers for trying instead of putting forth the
effort and doing what there paid to do- teach .Children should be able to learn
information from teachers who are willing to work with you to higher your education for
any mind set goal. Building a relationship with students is what counts when learning. If
either candidate can follow through with they’re obligations, students all over would
adjust better with the idea of knowing people have they’re best interest at heart.

America desperately needs a President in office who knows one or two ways to make
the economy better to work with. Such as, double funding for after-school programs,
expand the Family Medical Leave Act, provide low-income families with a refundable
tax credit to help with their child-care expenses, and encourage flexible work schedules.
These are resolutions that we all need to take notice in. Senator Barack Obama is who I
stand behind in this race. I believe in the values he holds as a Democrat but more
importantly, as an individual. He holds the promise for America to make a better
tomorrow. Senator Barack Obama believes that Americans can repair political process,
and restore a worthy government that has dangerously fallen out of touch with Americans
all over. Senator Obama is a family man and understands the struggles we face in today’s
society. Barack Obama is our only hope for a better future. We as a country no longer
need another eight years of the same sad tradition. Barack is making history, in what we
call making a change. If no one is capable of doing what’s needed to be done then why
depend on a candidate who knows how, Senator Barack Obama.

My NHD person

I choose Fannie Lou Hamer for my NHD project because I am inspired by the passion and the goals she had in her time. She is an African American woman who was a civil rights activist. I am interested in the historical problem she promoted which was, the civil rights movement between 1955-1965. Her goal as an civil rights activist, was to strive for the privilege for women of color to be able to vote. If Fannie Lou Hamer hadn't existed, women of all race and ethnic groups wouldn't be able to have the right to vote, most importantly speak they're mind. I'm a person who won't back down unless my opinions are heard. I admire and look up to Fannie Lou Hamer for having the courage and ability to stand up for what she believed in, and speak for those who were unable to do for them selves.

Why our country should nominate Barack Obama for office

America needs a major change. In my opinion, Barack is clearly the best candidate to lead our country in the right direction. He believes in certain issues that every American believes in. Topics such as, a new education system, better health care, tax cuts, and the rising rage of oil. These are solutions that American families struggle with in today's society. Obama him self has a family in agrees that the problems Bush created are becoming a hassle. The reason I think that Barack should become president is because, I'm a student in high school and in a few years I will be applying for colleges. My reasoning for bringing this topic up is because, for people who want to further they're education in college have trouble doing so. Obama strongly believes that education is important and wants everyone to endorse it. If we can get young and older voters to stand behind him in this race, as one we can get something meaningful accomplished. Barack Obama is the voice of today and America should listen to what he has to say. We no longer need five more years of the same tradition, it's time for a change.
