During my spring break, I was flipping through the channels when I just so happened to stumble across Barack Obama on “The View”. Whoopi Goldberg asked him what the first three things he would do if elected president.
The obvious first answer was to “…responsibly and honorably begin a withdrawal from Iraq…” That response was followed by “…give every American health care”. As important as those are, they didn’t really interest me. However, his third response made me like him even more than I already did. Obama said “The third thing is I really think we have to deal with our energy crisis. Everybody’s personal crisis is $4 a gallon gas which is maybe coming up this summer. So for us to say we’re going to deal with climate change and cap the emission of greenhouse gases and raise fuel efficiency standards and invest in solar and wind and bio-diesel, it’s a three-for. That’s the only way we can drive gas prices down over the long-term. It’s the only way that we’re going to deal with global warming.”
To me, that topic is very important. As a member of S.P.A.R.E. [students for protecting and restoring the environment] at my school, I would like our president to understand and agree with what I believe in. My peers and I feel Obama represents us, and will help increase the amount of teenage interest in politics.
