Some of the Reasons I'll vote for Obama
Regarding a couple of people wanting to know on this thread what Obama is going to do for this country, I've gone over it and over it but I guess it's forgotten or unnoticed.
He will preseve women's and minority rights. He will fund the hiring of more teachers (instead of fewer when Romney does away with the dept. of education) and fund school improvement both in the cirriculum and infrastructer. He will withdraw troops from Afghanistan helping the budget. He more than likely won't start needless wars such as the one in Iraq. He will help increase student loans and lower interest for repayment. He has and will increase benefits for veterans. He will continue and perhaps tighten sanctions for Iran. Will increase conditions to close the dirtiest power plants. Signed Lily Ledbetter law and will protect and increase policies for equal pay for women. He has and will continue to improve food safety. Will continue to expand wilderness and watershed improvements. He helped give the FDA the power to regulate tobacco. Passed and will stand behind the Fair Sentencing Act. Will continue to invest in renewable technoloby. He cracked down on bad for profit colleges by having the dept. of education to fight predatory hikes in tuition. Pushed and approved funding to federal broadband which will ultimate spill over into the private sector. Expanded and will protect federal funding to stem cell research. Has done as much as he can to improve the economy (no president can totally turn things around or fix it).,
He will continue working for ALL the American people, protecting civil rights and other things that benefit them, especially the lower and middle class.
For the future among other things his second-term priorities will be reforming the immigration system; remaking the nation’s energy policy so it addresses “the long-term challenges. . . . of energy independence and climate change”; doing more to ensure that “people who don’t have work can find work” and that “our housing system is working for everybody”; pushing forward on education reform; and executing an “effective transition out of Afghanistan.”
There is qute a bit more but you get the picture (of course most republicans won't agree with all this or don't like it), which is precisely why I don't want Romney who will try to do away with most of it.
