8 is enough!!

Obama fired up the crowd with the promise of change as well as the promise that all Americans should be responsible for ourselves and for each other. Stating that everyone has the right to pursue there dreams and that Business and Government have the obligations to take care of the less fortunate.
Same old, same old, will not do. Bad Republicans, bad Bush, bad McCain. Bad policies and McCain voting with Bush 90 percent of the time how can we (Americans) take a 10 percent chance on change?
It was clear from the beginning that Obama would not pull any punches. The stage is set that the country, not only needs change but, deserves change. All of America must come together and make this a world class country again. With names like Roosevelt and Kennedy to move and unite, he did not make any direct quotes, however, the impressions were there.
An outline of his plan was not far off from elections of the past with big promises of lower taxes, closing loop holes for big business and getting rid of tax breaks to companies sending work overseas. More money will be spent on start ups, schools, early education and 150 billion dollars to end oil dependency in the Middle East.
Cutting taxes and raising spending makes everything great all with the Congress that has not changed in more years than Bush has been in the White House. Hasn't all this been said before?
How long have we all heard, we need to take back America?
He ended the speech with MLK and uniting the country for a common purpose. Was the speech effective?
If defining the battle lines was the goal then yes it was. However, 8 is enough might just be more of the same.

Text as a part of learning

Text is used in every part of our lives from the time we get up to the time we retire at night. We talked about many of the different types of texts. Texts that tell us about the world we live in and give us a mass amount of info. We use this info to make choices, both large and small, in all we do in our lives. All texts are used for learning. To learn about our surroundings, from the sounds on the radio to the advertisements on billboards, signs, and radio. The artwork as well as clothing tell a store about the world we live in. Good or bad, friend or foe, we learn to make our choices and take action. If we make a bad choice we adjust how we view the text so we can make better choices as we continue to live our lives.
