I think the biggest problem in america is that nobody works together. If everyone worked together to make or change something it will be accomplished. But sadly america is kinda split into two groups. democrats and republicans. both of these groups have a different opion on a situaion or problem. Pres. Barack Obama shows the problem of health care. he thinks the prices should be lower so it is more affordable to those who dont have a lot of money. Democrats think its ok and to pass on this law while republicans veto this law. they think it will cause a money problem later. I think we should worry about the problem later even if it becomes a problem.
I think my life is good and kinda sad or anoying. I think my life is Good because i feel like i have the right amount of clothes, food, and extra things, such as jewlery, make, and all tthat stuff. I feel like I need be more thankful for what I have, and stop wishing i had more skinny jeans or whatever. Every time i see those news reports about Haiti, it makes me cry! I think my life is also sad and anoying because I don't live with my dad. I miss him all the time! I barely have time to talk to him because of school or homework. But i always call him when i learn how to play a new song on the piano or when i can do a flip! Overall, my life is just fine. :)
I don't like how we are sending stuff to Haiti don't get me wrong I feel bad for all of those Hashan people,but we are sending thousands of dollers to people that never financhle.
I like how Obama is trying his best to keep us safe.I also like how everyone is treating everyone equal.I give Obama a D as a president.Even though not alot of people like Obama everyone forgets what hes doing for the war in Iraq and in Afganastan.I think that after we help Haiti they should help us because they have never helped us.I hate that Obama is doing is giving all these speeches but doing nothing about it.
I think my life is good I get a lot of things from my mom & dad they do a lot for me & they l let me have acatadog
(this is what i adout our country)
I like HOW Obama is trying to fix up the ecmony.I also like how dare officer are keep us out of drugs and trouble.
(This is what i don't like whats happening)
The ecomeny and no houses for the homeless people
SBI THINK THAT NO ONE CARES WHAT HAPPENS ON EARTH PEOPLE SHOULD GUST PICK UP ALL THIRE GARBAGE AND STOP THROWING IT ON THE GRUND BECAUSE EARTH RESPECTS YOU AND YOU DONT RESPECT EARTH SO GUST PICK UP YOUR GARBAGE AND STOP THROWING GARDAGE ON THE FLOOR
AND OBAMA SHOLD MAKE A DAY THAT YOU CANT USE CARS OR ANEYTHING LIKE THAT RUNS ON GAS OR ANEY THING THAT KILLS ARE POLUSHEN SO PEOPLE SHOLD GUST USE BIKES AND SKATEBORDS AND ANEYTHING THAT RUNS ON GAS OR OIL ARE ANEYTHING SO WE CAN SAVE THE EARTH.
I think the president is doing ok because he is keeping everybody safe .I think he is doing fine with the economy.President Obama is trying his best to make the United States of America a better place.
I did not know that if kids had one wish they mostly wanted money!! I also did not know that most kids said they looked up to there mom the most as there romodle(someone to look up to.)I thought it was interesting that most kids like to text at the table!I thought that was the interesting in the survey to me.
I THINK THE PROBLEM IN THE U.S IS THERE TAKING PEOPLE OUT OF THERE JOBS FOR NO REASON.AND IT IS HARD TO FIND A DIFFRENT GOOD JOB.IF I WAS THE PRESIDENT I WILL MAKE SURE PEOPLE HAD A PLACE TO LIVE AND A JOB PEOPLE MAKE ENOUNGH MONEY FOR THEM AND THERE FAMILY MAKE SURE ITS CLEAN PUT THE RENT DOWN.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that not only adults should go and help haiti.If children want to go help them than they should because it shows that children knows and cares about the people and they know whats going on in the world.Soilders should only be in the wars right now and not come out of wars and go to haiti because adults are going and some health businesses.If children go to haiti it will show that not only adults care for them children do also and were adults cant fit into small places childeren can. LET CHILDEREN GO TO HAITI AND HELP.
i think that obama needs to do sented more trops to the war because he is seneding most of them to haiti and now there is a lot of people in haiti so he should sented them back to the war.
1.I enjoy my life living in the united states.I like to play sports like baseball,basket ball and football.I think that every body should be friends so they could make more friends.People are losing jobs because no one reycycles paper and plastic to make buildings for jobs.I think Barack Obama is doing a good job because he is trying to make a health care hospital but people dont vote for it. I think is is doing a good job taking care of the country.I think people should work together so they could build communties and houses for the poor people.I think it is a good idea to help people who had cancer and homless people like in Haiti.The reason why is to help people and donate money so they could go to the hospital and get better. I also think people should plant trees so we could breath better.I think America is a great free country with lots of things and freedom.And the war in Iraq is bad because we are fighting two countries and the American army needs help and people should join the army to protect America. America is the best country!
