Obama is hope for the US

I will start with "bible thumping." What I mean by this term, is those who use the Bible as an excuse. For example, stem cell research. People say that it is unethical because it is like killing a child. This however is not correct. Once the embryos are created outside a woman and could never develop into a child. There is also stem cell research which is not directly related to stem cell research which is also being banned in the United States. However, all over the world stem cell research is progressing very well. This is and will put the US in a weak position. Another position is abortion. Yes that is killing an embryo that could develop into a child. Do I feel people should get abortions? No! But it is the woman's choice. Not your decision, not mine, and not the governments. No one would ever think of going about telling people when they need to have kids so what right do we have to say no you can not? Some may not agree to abortion which is 100% ok. I myself would never do it either. But I'm not going to tell another woman what she should do with her body. What if it's a matter of life or death or rape? So what I mean by bible thumping is simply this. I am not against any one is a Christian or any other religion. I myself am a Christian. But there are many other religions and beliefs out there and I'm not going to force my views on them and neither should this country. Therefore the president should make an unbiased decision on the mater not based a religion. This country was founded on the right of freedom of religion. These views against abortion and stem cell research generally come from hardcore Christians believing that this is an un-Christian thing to do. However, if their was a cure that came by way of stem cell research would you not take it if your life depended on it because you somehow find it unethical? Obama will run this country with an unbais eye even though he is a Christian and that is what America greatly needs. Money Hungry…. On this matter it is quite obvious if you ask me. This country favors the rich!! Tax breaks are given to those of the upper class. Lets look at real estate… any house you own that you do not live in full time is tax deductible. Why do you think the wealthy invest their money in real estate? Because they like to collect houses? No, it's because it lowers their taxes by lowering their taxable income. Taxes also calculate in deprecation of the property. All of these deductions can be found on the IRS website. The average American family can only afford one house. Houses are free, you have to be wealthy to own multiple houses. Therefore, the tax system in America is unbalanced. The wealthy can afford taxes easily but yet they get the biggest breaks. While on the other had, middle to lower class families can bearly get buy and they get hardly no breaks because they don't have these "tax shelters." Currently wouldn't you agree that the US has free K-12 education no matter if you are rich or poor to every child? Wouldn't you agree that we have a government funded military, police and fire protection? These systems are all socialism systems. So why don't we have the same with health care? All the other major powers of the world do except for the US. Even Cuba and Costa Rica. Why? It's because insurance lobbyist give millions and millions to the political power of this country. Do you have insurance? I pay 1300 a year. If my taxes were increased by half or even that whole amount I would be dancing in the streets if I knew I, along with all my other fellow Americans, got health care at no expense. You see paying taxes is not a bad thing as long as you see where your money is going. I have no problem paying taxes if my money is going to good things such as health care and education but it's not. Schools are the first to get funding in the US. SAT scores are at a record low. So why other countries are increasing their education system we here in America are getting dumber all the time. The US is the only world power who doesn't have free higher education. America is not keeping up quite obvisoly. War… War is always a bad thing, people die. I agree sometimes war can not be stopped and is needed but, not this war. We are at war with a country that did nothing to us. That is like another country going to war the US because some US citizens went to their country and killed a bunch of people. Not right! Therefore this war is a personal agenda and does not look out for the good of American citizens. Obama will seek to correct these things. McCain with only keep current policies going, not change them. And sorry for the delayed response.
