Obama: A leader for Reform

In regards to the election process at this point in time, I highly support Barack Obama.
He is a man that is ready to take on the troubles of America, in all aspects. He has promised to undertake the problems in our society and with his election will guarantee that they will be eventually solved. Even though he has a lot of goals for this country, he has clearly defined how he will go about doing them.
Obama has made a point that if elected; he will be rid of the lobbyists who drown out the voices of the American people. So far he has proved that by not accepting any campaign contributions from Washington lobbyists, and PAC’s. Some of his goals are to end dependence on Middle Eastern oil reserves, and to save the planet from the ever increasing crisis of climate change. Since Obama has opposed the war since the start, he plans to end the war, and also bring the troops home within 16 months after doing so. To officially end the war, he will press for a political solution between America, and Iraq’s civil war, and will also press for the leaders of Iraq to reconcile by ensuring that the US is leaving, and is not intending to stay any longer. Obama wants to fight for the American Worker. His resolutions for the economy are clear cut, and will improve the American economy. Some of his plans include reducing income taxes for working families, and also providing low class families with a refundable tax credit to help with child care expenses, and encourage flexible schedules. Obama believes that trade with foreign nations should expand and strengthen the American economy, thus more American jobs will be created. He also plans to fight for a trade policy that opens doors to foreign markets to create new high wage jobs. Obama plans to invest 1.5 billion dollars over a 10 year period that will be dedicated to clean energy, and having the ability to covert companies into clean technology leaders. That fits into another plan for America to gain energy independence, and a climate change plan that will make America part of the new green technologies that will eventually be in high demand after the world will be less reliant on fossil fuels.
For the education of the children in America, Obama plans on revising, and improving the No Child Left Behind Act. With this in mind, he wants to lessen the high school drop out rate, improving the over all education for the K-12. Also, he wants to make both community college, and other colleges more affordable after the 35% increase over the past five years. Obama also wants to create a more affordable National Health Care plan for the nation. So no citizen will be turned down because of pre- existing medical conditions. So that will help out the 47 million Americans who are not covered, including the 9 million children that fall under the same category.
Our country is desperate for drastic change, and I think that Barack Obama is the certified candidate to do so.
