I'D SAY OH-BA-MAH ALL THE WAY!! CHYEA CHICAS ;D

1. EDUCATION
As a student about to enter adulthood, I feel that Obama's plan to create a new American Opportunity Tax Credit is one of the biggest things that affect me. Also, because I am just about to exit high school and enter college, my supply of cash is pretty low. So his new tax credit can help me by ensuring that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for almost everybody. Also, applying for financial aid seems a lot like a hassle, but Obama wants to allow families to apply by checking a box on their tax forms. This is a lot easy and not cause a lot of trouble for people to look for information and such. By allowing more people to get more money for college, those who cannot afford college but are brilliant can enter the world so we can benefit from it. Also, by supporting english languange learners, their knowledge can be spread to the United States and not only their home country. Another thing he's doing is rewarding accomplished teachers with a salary increase. This can entice them to stay and do what they are doing. Also, they can mentor new teachers so they can shoot to be as good as them.

2. HEALTH CARE
I like Obama's Health care policies because it will decrease the cost of insurance of the same quality of treatment. Often, people would not get health insurance because of the cost, but Obama's plan could support the people. It is important to put your health before the cost because it is not safe. Government-run health care with higher taxes or letting the insurance companies operate without rules are two extremes offered for health care reform. To go against theses extremes, Obama is proposing a plan that can strengthen employer coverage, make insurance companies accountable, and letting the patient have their choice of a doctor. Another plus to this policy is that the cost of the current health insurance can go down by as much as $2,500 per year. This will make the people content because they can go to the doctor for more check-ups and not worry about the costs. This new health care system will be more affordable and accessible for Americans.

3. ENVIRONMENT
With so many environmental concerns nowadays, the next president should definitely be involved with improving the environment. Luckily, Obama has been described as having a "strong record of support for clean air, wetlands protection, and clean energy." As gas prices continue to increase, Obama will provide short-term relief to American families facing pain at the pump. He pledges to cut Green houses emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 by creating a market-based Cap-and-Trade system. Obama also has plans for improving air and water quality through reduced carbon emissions. He is willing create millions of new green jobs that will ensure that 10% of our electricity comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25% by 2025. In addition to that, he will try to get 1 million plug-in hybrid cars on the road by 2015. To provide short-term relief to American families, Obama will enact a Windfall Profits Tax to provide a $1,000 emergency energy rebate to them. Obama will also tackle climate change to protect species threatened by extinction. Obama obviously seems to be concerned with making our world a better place to live in and that makes him the candidate worthy of become president of the USA.
