State of the Union

I feel like our country as it is today is not as great as it could be. Obama in my opinion is an okay president but I feel like there are some changes that could be made. I agree with his great decision to stop sending troops to Iraq, but I feel like that is not the only problem in our society. Unemployment is a really big problem in our country today. I think it is unfair for people to loose their jobs because of the bad economy. Many people have kids and other people to take care of as well as keep a job. For them to loose a job must really hurt many families and can put them in great debt. Now a days it is not the easiest thing to find a job and it is ridiculous that all of these people are loosing there jobs. I am not sure if there is much Obama can do about this but I feel like he needs to work to do something about it.

For example 40 percent of the police population in Camden, New Jersey one of the worst towns for crime just got laid off. Not only is it going to hurt those families but it will most likely hurt those in the town as well. Besides people getting laid off I feel like another major problem is the school systems. This year Central Regional has change a lot that I feel like was unnecessary. If we cannot pass our budget especially after more then a few years , I do not think it is write to be able to pass a referendum for solar panels when we cannot afford to get anything new for our school. The heat in our school barely works therefore many students as well as me wear there jackets all day in school. This does not seem right to me and I am sure some other schools have problems with this. My question is why is it ok for this? I sit in school freezing all day when I should be able to sit comfortably in class and be able to learn and do my work. 

Overall as a country I feel like we can be doing much better. The school problem that I am worried about may me a minor problem in out country today but people loosing there jobs gets to me every time.I feel like it is not a major issue to the president of coarse because he would most likely not loose his not but he should start worrying about a lot of people in the society. Money now a days is so valuable and its is a really crappy thing to think about my family loosing there jobs, I can only imagine how it feels for many families. 

As president Obama does his job everyday I think he feels like he is doing a very good job. I would not say he is doing a bad job but he can strive harder. Money, economies, war and all of these problems may never end but there is something someone can do to make it a little better and right now the most important person too fix this right now is Obama.
