LaForce on Obama

When I think of Barack Obama there are three words that come to mind— pragmatic, wise and charismatic. Yes, Obama is an amazing orator, in that he expresses ideas in a way that is like no other, but that is not why I used those words to describe him. I use those words to describe him because of the policies that he has proposed that just make sense if we want to get America back on track.

There are three issues that warrant the aforementioned characterizations. The fact that he was one of the earliest opponents of the Iraq War which displays his wisdom even though he is a first term senator. His pragmatism is illustrated in his healthcare reform policies in that he wants to give a $2,500 in order to offset the cost of people’s current healthcare plans. Lastly, his charisma would inspire students to accept his proposal to help with funding for college education by requiring 100 Hours of Service in return for a Opportunity Tax Credit that is worth $4,000 a year. Those are the three biggest reasons why I support Senator Obama and I hope everyone does there research, so they will know why they are casting their vote for him as well.
