Let Obama finish the job

 
Four years ago, there was a man who planned to bring hope and change. 
There was a man who was a unique individual, unlike any presidential candidate that we have ever seen, who promised to change the state of the economy for the better, to benefit the middle-class while evening out the deficit. 
Today, that man, President Barack Obama, is running for the presidency again and he cannot get there without our help.  
We, as young voters, have a very big voice together and together we can have a say in the outcome of this election if we all go to the polls on November 6th. 
There are many issues to be debated on: jobs, the deficit, immigration, same-sex marriage, foreign policy, healthcare, energy and education. 
President Obama is providing the platform needed to build our country back to greatness again, where the economy is thriving and our deficit is turned into a surplus. 
According to CNN, President Obama is seeking to extend the tax cuts, put in place by Bush, but only for those making less than $250,000 annually, and is committed to ending tax cuts for the wealthy. 
He has made a number of reforms to constrain Wall Street practices and help small businesses. 
One of the issues I am passionate about is same-sex marriage. 
Of course you hear all of the gospel about how same-sex marriage is “not right”, but we live in America. 
There are a lot of things, many issues that are not defined as right in America, but that’s what makes this land so great. 
We have more freedoms than anyone else in the world. 
America is the land of the free, so why can’t everyone have the same freedoms? 
I am a straight woman, but I believe that everyone should have the same freedoms and rights. 
President Obama stood up for those rights and I think that shows what type of character our president has.
The most important issue to me though, as a woman, is the issue of healthcare.
In my opinion, women should be able to make their own decisions about their personal health, about their personal lives, in which the government should have no right to interfere unless you are breaking the law. 
As a woman living in America, the greatest country in the world, I should know that if I am at a party thrown by a student organization off-campus, and I am raped, that I can go to the clinic and get adequate treatment without paying an arm and a leg. 
I want to know that if I am raped and become pregnant, that I can go and have an abortion, if that’s what I want. 
Sometimes in life, it’s not about what happens to you in life but the options you have after. 
Bottom line, President Obama is the right choice for America. 
Just because some may not think he has what it takes to serve another 4 years, think again because like former president Bill Clinton, NOBODY could have turned this economy around in just four years, he needs to be re-elected so he can complete the job he started.
