President John Rooney's Speech
Hello my fellow Americans. My name is John Rooney, I am running for President of the United States of America. I am a distinguished candidate for president because of my impressive leading skills and public speaking abilities. As once said by the remarkable former President Ronald Reagan “Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives”. Being the captain of three sport teams displays that I have the capability to be an adept leader. I learned from these experiences that it takes dedication, time and hard work to be an impressive leader. As a former leader of three sports team it illustrates that I will be an outstanding leader of our country. I have learned through these experiences how to lead people through tough times. For instance, during a lacrosse game we were down 12 to 4 and I inspired my team to work hard and continue to play as hard as we could in the game even though we were down. We thought it was over but we came back into the game after I gave my rallying speech to the team. After this experience I learned that I can overcome any challenge that I come across with some hard work and dedication. Coming into office during this time of war and trouble in America is a difficult time for anyone.
Some of the major problems that I will fix shall be ISIS in foreign policy , the American education system, and the American economy. ISIS is a major terrorist group in the Middle East that is creating havoc, they are a threat to our great country and to our allies. Due to these terrorists having a large amount of income it is difficult to cut off their supply of oil money and weapons. ISIS is the largest and most advanced terrorist group they are using social media to recruit and spread their message around the world using the internet faster then we can shut it down. Obama has taken a few actions to deal with this threat. He has increase drone strikes to slow the growth of this organisation. Also he is preparing for troops to be deployed back into the area even though it is an unpopular but needed to end the ISIS threat.
The American education system is breaking down as seen by American students being outranked by less powerful countries. Obama has taken initiative with the Common Core idea, but this, unfortunately has not worked out as well as was expected. Big business has been the power behind this program. Businesses goal is to make money, not to produce thinking, educated children. A goal of raising the standard in all states is a good starting point, but research and educators need to be the driving force of achieving this goal. Only by funding academic endeavors and using solid research to roll out a national program for education can we begin to achieve this goal. For us to be number one in the world we need to fix our education system so we can continue to strive for the greatness we are capable of achieving. To even start to fix this problem we have to start young and work our way up to the top.
Lastly, the American economy has been in a recession for quite some time. Fixing the national budget is a daunting task I am willing to take on to help the people of our country. We need to lower the unemployment rate which is at 5.5 percent by creating jobs for people. As the potential president i believe we should return jobs to the united states. I believe we need to start to cut government programs that are unnecessary. Cutting programs like NASA and amtrak are good places to start because as a county we do not need them to function and they take up money we could be saving or using to help further the economy.
With me as president I promise to lead this country in the right direction to bring us back to what we used to be as a country.
