The Winner of the Losers: Why Barack Obama Should Win the 2008 Presidential Elections
For the past year I have been bombarded with infomercials, flyers, and emails begging for my support of one presidential candidate or another. I usually wait until all of the name calling and bickering of the party nominations subside before I research my choice in a presidential candidate. However, this year I was sucked in by the propaganda between Hillary, Obama and McCain. I think everyone was to some extent. After all of the fighting and airing of the dirty laundry I have to say that my candidate for the 2008 elections will be Barack Obama. Even though our choices are slim I hope that the next few paragraphs will allow you to see why I chose Obama, and I may even persuade you to do the same.
?Change We Can Believe In? (Obama for America). This is Obama?s main driving point and the main reason I will vote for him this term. Change is what we need, and not just radical change but small changes that lead up to bigger changes. A well thought out plan is what we need and that is what I believe Obama will give us. His website http://www.Barackobama.com (Obama for America)has a list of hot topics and Barack?s plan for each item. Below are some my hot topics that were on his site.
The economy is a current hot topic for many Americans; we have all felt the blow first hand due to soaring gas prices, the housing market crashing, and job market drying up. These items hit very close to home for me and I needed to know that my presidential candidate felt that this was a very important issue, and that he would have a plan of action to alleviate some of our suffering. I feel that Obama addresses these issues with much vigor by providing a clear plan for jumpstarting the economy and then sustaining it.The plan will be effective by providing more job opportunities and creating laws that will protect home buyers from these sub-prime loans and fishy loan programs. He furthers my support by including technology expansions in his plan. This was the biggest point for me as I am currently in that field.
I believe everyone has felt their pocket hurt recently due to rising energy cost because of our dependency on foreign oil. Obama is recognized over the other candidates because his plans include oil reform or becoming independent from foreign oil. He also plans to support research into cleaner fuels such as biofuel and renewable energy sources like wind, sun, and water. My presidential candidate Barack Obama has more than an idea on how to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. He has a plan that you can see in black and white. Click Here To Read(Obama for America)
The last but not least of my hot topics covered by Barack Obama would be education. I have felt the hurt of the rising cost of college and Obama plans to support outreach programs for college students. The program will also increase federal grant programs to help with the cost of school. The aforementioned items would be enough to suffice my requirements in my presidential candidate but Barack has gone two steps further. His plan includes actions that will simplify the application process known as fafsa and plans to create an additional tax credit for college students which I could have used this year on my taxes.
Barack Obama is clearly my choice as a presidential candidate. Not because he is this or that but because the plans he presents are solid and include items that I am concerned about. Whether you choose Obama or not is up to you. However, I would strongly recommend Obama based on my research and fact finding. He is the best candidate in my opinion.
