Obama Speaks on Education

Obama's speech over education was very inspirational, and encouraging. He inspired students to go after their dreams, while also forcing them to realize their abilities and potential. He also made it known that their education was vital in having a successful career and challenged them to make short and/or long term goals of their own. The critics complained about Obama's attempt to have a close relationship with the youth of America. I think this is very ridiculous since there are a lot of teenagers without a stable enviroment who look to sentimental speeches such as the one given by President Obama for encouragement. In conclusion Obama did reach out to the youth, but it's up to the youth to take on the challenge and become successful in school.

Response to Ms. Pinkney's Question

The constitution is the foundation and structure of the United States. It gives America economic and political stability through a strong central government. Although the constitution limits the involvement of minorities (common man), it is very useful. There are a lot of underhanded things that go on within the constitution but there is know other form of government, that is known to my knowledge, that can challenge the constitutions ability to strengthen the government while still allowing personal freedoms.
