One child that I teach lives in a public housing community. There's violence and drug dealing – he's exposed to things that no five-year-old should be. He threatens people with knives; he got access to a BB gun. He's a sweet, sweet child and in the right environment would be. His mom is a recovering meth addict, but he has this wonderful grandmother who is fully capable of taking care of him. But if his grandmother takes him, he loses Medicaid so won't have medical coverage. So he lives in this unsafe environment or his grandma is stuck with taking on this child with all these issues, and paying for all his doctor's bills, which she can't afford.I see what happens when the most vulnerable members of our community are denied health services. Barack's making a really firm commitment to fix the healthcare system by the end of his first term. Given all that he's accomplished in the little time he's been in government, I think he can make it happen.Barack brings people together, and represents this country as a whole. He'll bring people together from a wide variety of communities, locally, nationally, and internationally. His unifying power really draws me to him.He'll be a unifying presence for the country whether he's President or not, but the country really needs him. We need the kind of moral guidance he would provide.
