Obama. New change?


There are many different beliefs about Obama and his presidential candidacy. Some believe that he would be a good leader, while others regard him as another mess up for America. Obama, just as other previous presidents, has made some strong promises; but he promises to keep these and follow through, unlike previous leaders. 
Obama's purpose for this speech was not just to encourage the citizens of America to vote for him as president, but to prove a point. As a young boy, Obama was told that in America we can do what we dream with hard work and sacrifice. He also said that we come together as one for next generations to do as we have and peruse in their believes. He wants the generations to come to have a government that doesn't solve our problems but to protect us from harm. The government should also give all children a decent education, keep water clean, keep toys safe, invest in new schools, roads, science and technology, and insure opportunity for all.
Unlike most candidates running for president, Obama is not all about putting down the other candidate, in this case, McCain. Obama states that it's not the fact that McCain doesn't care it's just that he doesn't get it. He also quoted McCain in saying America is a "Nation of whiners". Who would want their new president to say that about their country, not me. McCain also has other negative approaches towards aspects of the next four years. 
Obama's change to this country would be helpful; there would be a tax code to small businesses that deserve it, 95% tax cuts on working families, and end our pendency with the Middle East.
I believe that Obama's speech was very well put together. From the way he spoke to what he promised earned him more votes from citizens. He didn't just speak about what needs to be fixed, but how he is going to change the mess ups that have happened.
