Obama's Mission Statement
We will fix the healthcare system by creating “universal healthcare” making coverage available for all. We will stop the rising poverty rates by building “promise neighborhoods” that will provide necessary resources for low income families. Together we will repair the economy by offering tax cuts to middle class families and using alternative energy source to lessen our dependence on foreign oil and lower the price of gas. Together we can bring America to a new glory.
