Who is going to be the next president?

What does it take to become the president?. It is natural for candidates should have sufficient qualifications to be the president. All candidates have their own qualifications and policies. In my opinion, they have to know correctly what public really want and need, indeed they have to understand well people. I think this is the most important thing to be the president; therefore, I support Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama.
By sex and race, Hillary and Obama have a disadvantage in conservative society. Finally the U.S society will be accept it or not in this presidential election, but now this disadvantage makes them to be powerful presidential candidates. Both of them have been helping poor people and doing good social activities for the people since they were collage and university students. In Hillary's case, she already interested in public service when she was in low school. In the White House, she led efforts to make adoption easier, to expand early learning and child care, to increase funding for breast cancer research. And she continues to work for resources that enable New York to grow, to improve homeland security for New York and other communities. In Obama's case, he is from modest background, but his mother taught him empathy and sevice for others. In addition he lived many diffrent places , saw many diffrent kinds of races and he also understood their mind. This has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life. He practiced as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law in Chicago. They have good policies for people and I really agree one of them. That is 'Affordable Health Care'. I heard many times about the U.S. health care and insurance. The U.S. spends a lot of money on health care and offers the best medical technology, but many people can't afford it. The health care is a basic and important thing for living. People who live in here have a right to care their health and U.S. have to change the system for people to use that easliy. Two candidates have many experiences for people who suffer from poverty and disease. These experiences help them to know what people really want and need when they become a president.
Otherwise I disagree one policy of Ron Paul. He argues about the immigration reform that physically secure our borders and coastlines, enforce visa rules, no welfare for illegal aliens, end birthright citizenship and pass true immigration reform. Illegal immigration is a big problem in U.S., and this problem like a two sides of the same coin. Illegal immigration is forbidden nevertheless many people immigrate illegally U.S.. Almost of these people get a hard job that other people don't want to do that with minimum pay; also, they don't have any security. If they don't work that kind of job, who are going to work that?. We never solve this problem easliy but we need to think about good solution. In my opinion, Paul's policy is too extreme way.
I love Lincoln's speech that is 'The government of the people, by the people, for the people will not disappear from the earth.' We don't know who is going to be the next president in U.S., but we know that we want the president who devote himself or herself to the public and U.S.

It's time to keep our enviroment

In order to keep environment, we have to reduce the carbon dioxide that causes serious global warming. By a population explosion and industrialization, we produce excessive carbon dioxide: People drive their car everyday, use more fossil fuel and destroy mountains and forest. The vapor and carbon dioxide in the air that we called greenhouse gases absorb heat and release it in to the Earth, so these gases keep regular temperature. But by the carbon dioxide has been increasing dramatically, the heat that release in to Earth has been decreasing sharply; as a result, the temperature rises highly and brings global warming. This global warming causes that lots of glaciers melt, so many areas will sink under the water as the sea level goes up, and the weather change extremely like a desert growth or a hurricane; also, ecosystem is destroyed because animals and plants can't adapt in changed weather, so finally human can't live our own grounds. Fortunately, there are some ways to reduce the carbon dioxide and protect that disaster. We have to promote many public transportation like a bus and subway instead of a car and use more natural gas, conserve forests and plant many trees; in addition, we need more strict restriction to reduce carbon dioxide around the world. We can see that we can't live without environment. It is our responsibility to keep our environment. Our small action will be bring a amazing result and now it's time to do it for our environment.
