I believe that Senator Obama would be the best choice for presidency. Senator Obama has more common views among Americans. For most working class Americans, taxes are a big problem. Middle class Americans make up a larger percentage of this country and Obama believes that they should receive tax cuts, not big corporations. Regarding the war, Senator Obama believed that war would have undetermined length, cost and consequences. Obama plans to create a phased withdrawal and apply pressure to the Iraqi government to achieve the results still not found by war. Obama wants to jumpstart the economy through tax cuts and rebates for middle class Americans. Wages remain constant, while prices rise, and Obama wants to fix that. He also wants to fix NAFTA and promote fair and free trade. One point of disagreement between Obama and me is his view on Abortion. He is pro-choice, which means that he believes that it is necessary for a woman to have the choice of abortion. Abortion itself is a horrible idea, and Obama supports even partial-birth abortion. Obama’s stance on many other things, including gun rights and social security, have not been completely verified, for Obama has given many separate opinions on these subjects.
Obama has strong beliefs when it comes to the economy and taxes. He believes that middle class Americans should be receiving the tax breaks that the large corporations have been receiving under Bush. He believes that upper class should pay more taxes in order to even out the difference in the middle and upper classes. America is on its way to a system much like pre-communist Russia with a large margin between upper and middle class. He also believes that the rise in prices and inflation are in no way proportional to the unchanging wages received by Americans. While taxes and prices rise, wages remain constant, forcing Americans to cut their own budgets, while large businesses and upper class Americans retain more and more money, with lowering taxes.
The war is a very delicate subject when spoken of by any candidate. From the start, Obama disagreed with the idea of war, stating that America has not specified any length of occupancy or cost. America went to war, and in six short years, occupied many separate countries and currently spends billions in Iraq each month. Obama has a phased plan which would set withdrawal dates for America, and would put pressure on the Iraqi government to get results. War has achieved no results which Obama’s plan would achieve. War has only forced America out of money and makes us occupy a country that obviously is led by people who don’t particularly appreciate our occupancy.
One thing that may hurt Obama in his campaign is his unclear views on many subjects. Obama has been unclear on his stance towards gun rights and social security among others. He has given mixed opinions of gun rights by stating the statistics that firearms cause 30,000 deaths each year, while also being influenced by organizations like the NRA. Obama has also given mixed messages about the state of social security and the changes that must be done to it in order for the system to begin working properly. Obama’s mixed opinions on many subjects have been a weakness, commonly attacked by the government, the media, and the population at large.
Obama would make the best choice for presidency because of his stance on the war, the economy and many other subjects. While Obama does have many conflicting opinions on many subjects, the ones that he does have an opinion on are mostly excellent ideas. Obama believes that we need to withdraw from Iraq and apply pressure to the Iraqi government in search of results that war has not provided. Obama sees that reform is needed in the economy and that working class Americans deserve tax breaks and the money that has been taken from them for years. Obama also sees the need to give more taxes to upper class Americans, allowing them to pay for lower and middle Class Americans. One position of Obama that many disagree with is his position on abortion. He is not only pro-choice, but he supports partial-birth abortions. Many have attacked Obama on this view. Though he does have some disliked opinions, Obama would be an excellent choice.
