I have to say I am very impressed and after listening to him am am very sure I will be voting for him. I think he will be about change, and as he put it we don’t need to take a 10% chance for change. I was not able to vote 8 years ago I was 17 when voting took place, but 18 when Bush took office. I wish I could have had a voice, because I would have voted against him and I would have felt like I tried. Instead I am one of those who has struggled since I graduated to find work, pay for school and food and try to make a life for myself.

Obama’s plans for this country is what needs to happen, we need to take care of ourselves not try to pay for everyone else when we have homeless people and children that can not eat. I am tired of watching people with money get everything and complain when they can’t have that second or third home. That needs to stop and if your one of those people, think about how the economy is for you, now think about what it would be like to wonder if you’ll have food tomorrow? I’m sure you don’t worry about this.

I think though the best part of the speech was that Obama believes in family and parents being able to be parents, not working all the time to make ends meet, not worrying about money or how they are going to get their kids to and from school. We need to make a change, and we need to now or we are just going to keep going downward and things will just get worse.

He also stated that you don’t defeat terrorist by being in Iraq. he’s right terrorism is everywhere, you defeat it by sending the message that you are willing to look past differences, not enforce your believes onto others. Working with others is the answer, not going in with power and weapons and making people do as you want them too.

We as a country need to think, what about me? what about my children what about our lives, our homes, our issues? Why can’t we spend Billions on our schools and our health instead of on war and other countries that just use us so that they don’t have to spend anything?

The United States is on at a canyon, do we step forward and build a bridge across or do we sit down and let things stay as they are?
