    If I could pick any President that we have had I would pick Abe Lincoln. He was a very caring and loving man. He helped people in need and never thought to much of himself. He also cared alot about Deaf people and had a very important role in the making of Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind school and is now named Gallaudent University.

    My favorite president is President Theodore Roosevelt. I’m not going to get into why, I’m going to discuss President Barack Obama. I am for Obama, and I’m personally glad that he was re-elected into office. Not everyone takes into account the things he does well. My point of this is same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage should be legalized, considering the fact that is what’s fair. It is against some people’s religion, but your religion doesn’t matter to other people. People should be given the same rights as every other person, and if you are restricting two people’s rights to love each other and get married is not right. Obama is a supporter of same-sex marriage, and hopefully it will soon be legalized.

    My favorite president was definitely Abraham Lincoln because of the precedent he set for the country’s standards of equality.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

    Honestly I do not have a favorite president. I just want a president who will help support everyone in the country, not just upper-class, and will also fix the economy.
