Comments on Obama's Speeh!

Last Friday I watched President Obama’s Speech to Congress, in the speech, Obama first analyzed the economy situation of America, and then he encouraged Americans to get through the difficult times. Obama hoped the congress can pass the new health insurance bill, he said there are a lot of problems which should be solved in current health insurance. He promised the new health insurance would help the recovery of the economy.

I support Obama’s proposal, American’s health insurance now has many disadvantages, people pay a lot of money, but get not good service. The new health insurance will help people pay less money and get more better service, many countries in Europe have very good health insurance, compare to them American’s health insurance need to improved. I don’t know why so many Americans protest on the street to against Obama, Obama already promised that the tax for the family which less than a quarter million won’t rise. But the middle class people don’t trust Obama, they think the money for the new health insurance have to get from their pocket.

I think the other thing is American people scared of socialism, they believe Obama’s new health insurance will change American into a socialist country. The poor people who can’t afford the health insurance will get benefits from the new health insurance bill, about 15% Americans don’t have the health insurance. So many Americans have never out of America, they imagine the socialism is very bad, they think China is very poor because of socialism. I come from China, the reason Chinese people are poor is not socialism, the reason is from 1840 to 1949 China suffered over 100 years wars, and we have large population, it’s not easy to feed 1,4 billion people for a country, even for America, if America has to feed 1,4 billion people, it’s not easy too.

I think president Obama wants every American citizen has health insurance, he does not want to see American only belong to rich people, his purpose is very good, poor people also have the rights to go to college, go to hospital, have health insurance. On the back of every dollar, there is one sentence “In God, We Trust”, I think it is the spirits of American’s founding fathers, I hope Obama will win, and it’s very important for him during his political life. I support him!

God bless him!
