Obama has had a primary focus on the growing education of our country. He has set goals for our country to be more efficient in our education.There are statistics that say that there are over a million students that drop our of High School and dont go on to college. Those students turn into teenage parents or those that commit crimes. the goverment wants to make those statistics go away so that way our country can benefit from it.
This applies to our unit because with the creation of our country we had supporting leaders that wanted the best for our country. Now it is our turn to do something to benefit those in our country by raising the bar of standards where everyone graduates high school and are able to to something to help our country grow.

Executive Branch
http://articles.cnn.com/2011-09-08/politics/obama.jobs.plan_1_president-obama-deficit-reduction-political-circus?_s=PM:POLITICS
This article is saying how the President wants to start a plan in helping the Americans getting jobs, by this he will cut payroll taxes. This will encourage employees and employers to be rewarded for their hard work. Payroll taxes often prevent workers payment Reducing the taxes cause risk to the tax system that is in action now. It invalidates upon using the loan from Congress cause our countries debt to increase. President Obama revealed his plan in his speech to the joint congress.
This relates to the unit that we are studying because the law makers find that the American Jobs Act will assist Americans in their rights for employment. reducing taxes commits argument that excels in our work industry. When the Declaration of Independence was written it was intended to change for modern purposes. Perhaps the Recession can conclude that Obama's plan can be validated by congress.

Preamble of the United States.
http://www.mcwdn.org/dof/conpreamble.html
The Preamble the The United States of America basically states the we will aim for a perfect union and fair justice for everyone that lives in the United States. Our founders made this Constitution so that we may live by it and be able to know that we have rights when we live in this land.
This relates to our unit because those who lived under the rule of King John had very little rights. they had to deal with how the King treated them and then as the years went on they began to slowly gain some power and in their own say in how they think the country should be ran. as they gained more power they began to shape the country without the rule of the King. Now in the time we live in today we have our own we that we live and we have our rights which come for the beginning of the Constitution,

Federal Government Current event
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/f/federal_budget_us/index.html?scp=1&sq=federal%20government%20currents%20article&st=cse
In this article it starts off by saying that President Obama and the Congress making changes to the budget, for 2011. At the beginning of the year the government was close to a shut down so that a budget for the United States could be figured out. There was much debating about how the budget would be, and how the action would take place. Mr. Obama suggested that a "clean" bill be laid out that would reduce the deficits by $4 trillion. This action would take over 10 years to take care of the spending cuts. As the conversation went on there the deadline was reaching a close so the decision need to take place. Finally a compromise was made The President and the Congress reached an agreement that would raise the debt up to $2,4 Trillion. this would be enough to keep borrowing into 2013. The pact for this amount would be used in spending cuts over the next 10 years.
This article relates to the unit that we are studying now by not how John Locke's beliefs were but how they are the opposite of how he thought. Locke saw that we needed to live in a way that we could look after ourselves, but the way that this budget has been handled shows how our leaders are able to take care of ALL of us. Its hard with that much pressure having to worry about the budget and keeping America afloat, and our leaders are doing that in the best way possible. Locke's idea was that we would live off natural rights, we have taken some of the aspects but have left behind others. If we were able to be a smaller country those Rights might work but since we live in such a large country we have had to make do with what we have. The effects on America with this new budget will end up being answered once the end of this years comes.
