Obama’s speech illustrated hope for improvement within America. One of the ideas that I connected with most was Obama’s ideas about college funds. He stated that no American should be punished for getting a college education. I completely agree with this idea. It is true when he says that a high school diploma rarely allows someone to obtain a steady, good paying, job. Therefore, people go to college to further their education, in order to be eligible for better jobs, and those better jobs are jobs that will support the economy, and improve America as a whole. However, as he stated many middle class families find it hard to pay for college, and even harder to pay now because of the recession. Obama has good ideas about education. He wants to make colleges more affordable for those middle class families because he sees the importance of a high class education. He believes one of the other first steps is to improve the elementary schools in all 50 states. Within Chicago, many children are not receiving an education that will help prepare them for college, or even make them eligible for good college education. Obama has strong, positive ideas about what the future of America should look like; however, I feel that he still needs to create a strong plan of action in order to reach this future America. Obama's ideas are easy to agree with, and please many people. But the president is not meant to be a people pleaser. He is meant to run our country. Therefore, Obama needs to act on his ideas, or America will stay in the same situation as it is now.
