Dear Barack Obama

I wanted to start out by saying that there are a lot of things going on in the world that I know one man cannot fix on his own. Most if not all of the various situation going on currently in the in the United States should be or have to be dealt with as soon as possible. One of the main situations that is at hand and costing us much money is the current war going on in Iraq we been there since 2002, I notice the drastic change in there government and the many improvements in there country but doing that we have put ourselves in a deeper whole. Also the other problem is the one that is taking place right at home and that is the health care issue that is taking its toll on most of the American families. Thirdly the cost of education has sky rocketed, its more money to further your education to a college level and then in the lower level schools we can't even provide enough materials to support there educational needs.

The current war in Iraq is becoming outrageous expensive, we have been there for over six years which means we almost spent  200 billion a year to  support our troops and there other necessity. We been there way too long we made a lot of progress changing a run down ruthless country to a fair economical government which they did not have until we came. But now that we fixed what was wrong we should leave and tend to other problems. At this point I say we fixed more than enough in Iraq and what ever isn't done we should leave it we spent to much time there already.

The raising problem is the affordability of Health care or Health insurance most families of the middle class all the way down to the low class can't afford to see a doctor not even for a minor cold. Health care has become exceedingly expensive, the question that comes to mind is not "Who can't afford not to have health insurance" but "Who can afford it". Something of that importance should be much cheaper, or at least make different types of insurance for some people who could only afford the basic coverage and for those that can purchase the more expensive but better coverage insurance. 

If education is the key to life then why do we have to pay so much money to get it, the cost of a good college education is over 20,000 dollars a semester. Most jobs these days don't even pay that much in a year so parents cant even afford to send their son or daughter to college. I believe we should offer more scholarships to help send more students to college. Also the other rising problem in the education situation is the fact that most elementary school all the way up to high school don't have the all the right tools to help them get a proper education. Some schools don't even have enough books and desk for all the students, how can we let this happen and yet where trying to help other countries when we can't even provide for our own citizens.

I believe America can do better than the current state we are in, all we need is somebody that can take on the duties. You seem like the most adequate runner for the job, meaning I think you can turn America back into the right direction. With all that said when you take over in office, those are just somethings that I thought should be taking care of during your run.

Sincerely ,
