I chose designer coco channel as my nhd topic. I chose her because i felt that in that time period women were treated unfairly and the way they dressed did not satisfy there style and creativity.

coco channel was all about the liberation of woman.The way, 75 years ago, she mixed up the vocabulary of male and female clothes and created fashion that offered the wearer a feeling of taste and sense of style that overlap with today's fashion.

i found an article fromhttp://www.time.com/time/time100/artists/profile/chanel.html
i will sumarize it next week.

Presidential Election
Issues
A change in America starts with the next president.
The two out of many issues that Americans are facing and that I believe is important to the election is health care and education.
Health care is important to the election because there are millions Americans uninsured or underinsured because of medical cost. Education is also important as well because knowledge is key and the foundation to a positive country and a positive future. And every one should be able to have good education and be able to afford it as well.
Obama’s Stand on Health Care

Obama wants to see a universal healthcare coverage system through federal subsidies. He wants to make sure insurance companies cover all who apply.

He is willing to create quality, affordable, and portable coverage for every American. Also wants to lower cost of heath care by modernizing the U.S health care system. He is creating a new nation wide health care plan to all Americans. Guaranteed eligibility no American will be turned a way for health care.
John McCain’s stand on health care
John McCain wants to end exemption for employer based insurance.
Wants to create tax credits to help people pay for private employer based insurance.
In addition wants people to think of individual responsibility that will lower the cost of health care. He offers to work with governor to cover uninsured groups. He wants a greater variety of health care that will match people needs. And want to create a health care savings account making family in charge of what they pay for.
Obama‘s Stand on Education
First Obama doesn’t want to send another generation of Americans to failing schools.
Further more wants to solve this issue by funding schools to help meet testing standards.
He wants more pay for teachers who perform well and Wants to Offers tuition tax credits for college students. Allows race based affirmative for colleges. He also wants to establish early childhood education, as well as lowering the dropout rate. Wants to provide more high quality teachers, and make colleges more affordable by creating a new American opportunity tax credit.
John McCain’s Stand on Education
John McCain Will allows parents to move kids out of their failing schools. He offers more money for harder working teachers and less money for less hard working teachers. He opposes raced based affirmative action for colleges and targets federal financial aid and needy students.
Why I disagree with John McCain
I disagree with McCain strongly on his ideas for health care.
First he wants families to create savings account so they could manage their money. I disagree with this because having a savings account for health care still wouldn’t solve being able to get quality health care portable health care and affordable. And I don’t know how more managing of money people of America could do with the housing crisis, gas prices and health care rising. I think people have managed their money enough just to keep their homes and get to work every day on limited amounts of gas. I think creating savings accounts is a waste of time because the main issue is getting quality, affordable health care.
Why I agree with Obama on health care
I agree with Obama because his solutions are the same as what he talks about in his speeches .He is honesty trying to make changes. He want to create a national health care system, he wants to modernize health care so it can become more affordable .He also wants to make health care universal. He wants to create changes not differences.
He also wants to make it so no one gets turned down.
Why I disagree with John McCain on Education
I disagree with john McCain because he opposes raced based affirmative.
I believe raced based affirmative should be allowed to create opportunity of a good education for all races. I disagree with the idea of parents being able to pull students out of failing schools, because that isn’t the only solution. Better funding and better teachers is the solution.
Why I agree with Obama on Education
First I agree with his focused on test scores witch show he cares about the basics. And the most important issues in the school district. He wants to lower the drop out rate and make sure kids are getting their education. He stands for race based affirmative and giving different races that may not have this opportunity the opportunity to get a good education. He wants to make college more affordable which is a major concern, by opening an American opportunity tax credit.
I believe that Obama is the candidate because of his stand on the issues that I believe is most important to the election.
today we are making news papers on issues that are effecting our country today.
