What do I think about President Barack Obama's speech to Congress

The speech has focused on three policy of United States: energy, health care, and education. As President Barack Obama said that"...We know the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the 21st century.'', I think he means American will decrease the use of oil and the production of Carbonhydrogen.

Second is health care. In the past, Americans had to pay large taxes for health care insurance. As a proportion of GDP, public health care spending in the United States is larger than in most other large Western countries.---BYWIKIPEDIA. In contrast to Taiwan, our health care insurance policy has been succeeded for years. Because each individual do not have to pay too much to tax on health care and almost everybody can readily have health insurance. I start to appreciate much more to my government.

Third is education. I agree with President Barack Obama that ''In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a pre-requisite. " This is why we attend the university and strive to receive an advanced education. Furthermore, the real education should start from parents because "children's education must begin at home''.

Next quote which also said by President Barack Obama reminds me a movie - THE SLUMDOG MILLIONARE. He said"...But in my life, I have also learned that hope is found in unlikely places; that inspiration often comes not from those with the most power or celebrity, but from the dreams and aspirations of Americans who are anything but ordinary. " Well, it is not only Americans could find hope and inspiration, but also some kids who live in the slums in Mubai .
