HMMMMM.. I have to tell everyone that I can that Barack scares me to death about his ideas and beliefs for this country.... While I was finishing my basement last week until earlier in the morning...I heard Barack say that we Americans should not worry about the immigrants learning how to speak English, but I say again we should not worry about immigrants not learning to speak English, but rather our children should have to learn Spanish..... excuse me.... when would I go the another country and live and expect them to cater to me with their language and learn how to speak mine.... I know when I lived in Japan, before I coudl even go and stay as an exchange student I had to learn how to say basic words in Japanese. They were not required to learn English to communicate with me, but I was to learn how to speak their language. I had no heart burns of doing that. Now don't get me wrong I do feel that my children should learn Spanish because I fear it will be our national language before long. I also wish i had taken it instead of another language, however I do worry that the immigrants can't speak English, but they rate social security without  even paying into and speaking English.. We need to close the borders. I am not saying that I don't believe this is the land of opportunity; but they need to come legally and learn to speak the language. There is nothing more frustrating than going to a restaurant or ordering a food and the waiter can not understand you. Now, again when I go to eat Mexican I take the time to learn a little dialog and teach my children enough to respect the staff and say words and we ask how to..... But to say that It falls on us to make sure our children learn to speak Spanish is ludicrous..... WHY DON'T WE CONCENTRATE on our children learning how to read period.......

Did I mention that an ESL student rates more benefits than my child who is struggling with learning how to read plain English.. I have to jump through hoops to get my son help so he will be able to learn to read and love school... however in our schools the ESL students get one on one attention with teachers to learn how to read English.. .What about my son Born in AMERICA... and I PAY A LOT OF TAXES..........

Barack really needs to take a look at what our schools have time to actually teach in a day with all that is required of the teachers... and No they don't need to take away the electives for our students to force them on another subject.....

I know that Obama has all these ideas of how to change America; what he must truly realize is that being President is harder than it seems and that you better not promise the American people things that you can't deliver.... Obama you really do understand that the President doesn't have as much power as you might think.. .Let's not forget how our government is set up.... Executive, Legislative and Judicial. So you see you may have great ideas to change America but you will have to convince the House and the Senate and make sure that you have there support to pass a bill into law.....

But what ever the out come.... America will never be the same in this election....
