President Barack Obama delivered a phenomenal speech at the Democratic National Convention on job development, health care and educational reform, the war efforts and the status of the United States’ economy.
I think his speech will sway those who are still unsure about their vote to continue to move forward with a New America. It will also reassure those who already support the Obama Campaign, which, according to Obama, seeks to restore the values that built the largest and strongest middle class economy the world has ever known.
Obama emphasized that as American citizens, we are faced with a choice to vote for a campaign that seeks to reverse the advancements we have made in the last four years or choose one that builds on them.
By dividing the two campaigns into clear cut sides, the Democrats who want to move forward, and the Republicans who want to reverse advancements, Obama effectively put a contrasting differences between the two parties that seem to be similar in campaign goals.
I think that if not for programs like the GM and Chrysler bailouts, the state of the economy would be much worse. The unemployment rate has been on a steady decline in the past year according to the Department of Labor.
Obama emphasized the importance of education and how he will continue to pursue advancements in our education system. He stressed how education is more important than ever and the gateway to a middle class life.
Obama’s Education Reform has made it possible for millions of students to pay less for federal tuition aid and loans because we have taken on a system that wastes billions of tax payers’ dollars on banks and debtors.
Obama stressed that, we as Americans, are all in this together. The government has a role in education, but teachers have to inspire, principals must lead, parents have to instill a thirst for education and students have to do the work.
I think Obama is offering a better plan where we continue to create wind and water technology to harvest natural energy.
One where we can build homes and businesses that burn less energy and are more efficient. And where we can develop a one hundred year supply of natural gas that is under American soil. One where we can cut our oil imports in half by the year 2020 and stimulate job growth by 150,000 jobs in the natural gas industry alone.
Obama deserves a second term so he can fufill all of the promises he’s made.Obama had big dreams coming into office, and he needs a longer term to complete the task he set forth.
