Semester 2 Honors blog #1

Dear Mr. President Obama,

 I have a little advice for you on how to run this here country of ours. For our economy, I suggest you make money decisions that will benefit the rich and thee poor. Don’t raise prices on things that the poor will need, because then they wouldn’t be able to afford it. FDR spent the  country’s money on projects that would help improve the rural areas, and make more construction therefore building new jobs. Helping everyone, because money was a common problem.

Include everyone is included in your decision making for the country as a whole. Don't make a new law or bill, and leave some groups of people out. That will cause dislike towards you and troubles. Let the country in on what you're doing, so we feel as if we have our say. Keep a positive attitude, and a leader-type personality. Be a president that gets along with people of all ages, and can relate to most of them. FDR kept a positive attitude and held fireside chats to let the country in on what he was doing as president so they felt as if they were part of the decisions and actions.

Look at both sides of any argument. Before making decisions for the army, the laws, finances, and any other big matter, make sure you consider the pros and cons. Don't make biased decisions because you run a country, not just yourself. FDR started caring only for the poor, and made decisions for the poor, and kind of ignored the big issues and needs of the other groups.

Sincerely,

Mariyah Gillis
