Congratulation

Today, the new president was born in U.S. Do you know him? I think he is known all over the world now. His name is Barack Obama. His party is the Democratic. He is the first president of African American. This is so surprising thing.
In 1961, August, 4th, He was born in Hawaii. He graduated from Harvard University. After that, He worked an editor, teacher of graduate school and attorney. After that, He had been senate of Illinois from 1997 to 2004. In 2004, He got into the limelight keynote speech at congress of Domestic. And he run election and was elected. He won candidate of president from Hilary Clinton. And he fought senate Macain. November, he won the fight, and he decided a new president in U.S.
He is popular from a lot of people. Not only people in U.S, there are so much people who like him around the world. I like him too, because I met him last year.
I went to in Minnesota last summer. One day my host mother told me that we will meet senate Barack Obama next week. My host parents like Obama, so they have contributed fund to him. The month where I had stayed in Minnesota he was coming in Minnesota to election campaign. I was invited that fund party. I went to Hilton hotel and I took so careful check. After that, I went to one of room. There were two flags, one was national flag in U.S, the other was in Minnesota. I met to come to him. After 10 minutes, he came to the room. He was very tall and good smile. I queue the line to meet him. After a minute, my turn came. I had shake hands with him and I told him that I’m an exchange student in Japan and I came here to learn U.S culture and English. He heard my talk, and he cheered me. I was so nervous, but his smile made me relax. And we took a picture. This time was so short, but I felt so long time. I had very valuable time there. This is one of my wonderful experiences among I was born. I became his fun the time.
Now, his popular is NO.1 than all other before presidents. His approval rating is 84 percents now. I hope he would change in U.S, and change from depression to recession. There are many issues in the U.S.
Tax Reform, Good Government, Responsible Spending, Energy, Iraq, Foreign Policy, Defense, Seniors, and so on. I hope these issues will resolve. And there are a few concrete solution of issues.

Do you know future of earth?

One day when I watch a TV problem, I knew about bad things. It is that ice of North Pole is melting now. And number of living thing that living here is decreasing. I saw a white bear in the TV problem. The white bear was so sad. They had nothing to eat, because as it is rise temperature of earth, many seal is not in North Pole. I was so sad. I think recently climate of earth is changing. In Japan, temperature of summer rises every year. I think this summer was so hot too. I worry the earth’s future. So I will show you about issue of earth.

http://epa.gov/climatechange/kids/cc.html
This site is written about climate change of earth. As it is written for children, we can easy to read and we can understand well. I was interested in about greenhouse effect. It is temperature rise on the ground. It is influenced carbon dioxide, Freon and so on. Sun solar radiation comes to earth. Some radiation troughs atmosphere and come our ground. Generally, radiation emits to space, but some of them can not emit, because there are a lot of bad gases, for example, carbon dioxide and Freon and so on. They prevent from going them to space. So the radiation can’t emit and the temperature of earth rise. It is very vicious circle, because we use a lot of cars all over the world. Fuel of car is gasoline, as it use, it changes carbon dioxide. And we use a lot of fuel, we take out many them. I thought we should idea about resolution of them.

http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/global_warming_worldbook.html

Next, this site manages NASA. It is written about Global warming. It is similar to greenhouse effect. As this site, it will rise about 10 degrees till 2100. It is so scary things. If the bad thing is true, we will not live to earth. So we should do measure as soon as possible.

Issue is not only these, for example acid rain, decrease of coral and so on. There are a lot of about earth issue now. 1997, a lot of politician came to in Japan and enacted Kyoto protocol. But this fixed principle doesn’t promise. We should act for earth each other. We should protect our beautiful earth for children in the future.
