West Point Tours

I was down in West point and Bear mountain national park today and I purchased 1 hour tour at West point. The tour guide was speaking as the driver was driving. She talked about all buildings inside West Point. West Point is several thousand acres. It has tennis courts, basketball courts, swimming pools , 100 foot climbing walls, golf cources, putting greens for cadets to practice putting, football practice fields, and a giant football stadium. On one of the buildings it wrote Sink Navy and defeat Air force. At the first stop was a parade field and a field with cannons and a thousand pounds chain. They used that chain in the revolutionary war to stop the British from coming in the British Harbor. It was placed across the whole river and constitution island. All these canons of different sizes were things that resembled different wars. One monument was representing the civil war. On the sides were canons , at the top was a human figure holding a wreath and harp. There were inscriptions , and staues surrounding the monument and on the monument itself.
Across the street, the tour guide talked for minutes without end about the surroundings. We were at the parade field where we can see the Superintentant's building, the new renovated library, Washington's statue, Eisenhower's statue, and another person's statue.
Washington was the person who wanted a Military academy that can train cadets for the army. Washington never had that military academy during his administration, because it was the end of a big war and america was not ready for a military academy. It wasn't until the nation's third president, Thomas Jefferson, that he signed a act that created United States Military academy West Point.
President/General Eisenhower passed by West Point when he was a cadet. He later became a 5 star general and president.
The goal of West Point was to train young cadets in a four year college for the United states military. West Point is just a college and the first four years is still the Bachelor degree and they can move on to masters. One out of 12 applicants get to go to West point. They need to pass academic tests and physical tests. Not every body can go to west point. Egdar Allen Poe went to West Point for eight months and left. He was planning to stay for 6 months , but they made a law that you must pass all 4 years.
After the West Point Tours, I stepped in to the West Point Museum. The West Point Museum has weapons, big weapons, small weapons, wars through United States history, Wars in ancient civilizations, and ancient weapons. I saw the atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima , Japan at the end of WWII. That atomic bomb was just a replica, but once I saw the very thing that the Manhattan Project used to end the War in East Asia. Right nest to the atomic bomb was the atomic shooter, the atomic shooter was used in the Cold War by the Soviet Union and the United States. It was so dangerous that the United States Military removed it from there weaponary. There were other weapons, like canons of different sizes , and remote control tank. The remote control tank was used by the German in WWII to take down tanks and bombs.
There were War Jeeps used to travel on unstable land and dirt roads. It was also used many years after WWII and used in France Military.
It has a great display of different bullets , guns, and machine guns through time.
There were war armors and medival weapons that were used in Europe to conquer more lands. They had a wonderful display of weapons used by Hiter , Napolean, and Romans. This was a excellent museum of showing weapons, wars, and history.

Roanoke, Virginia Obama speech

I was wathching the Obama speech in Viriginia on 1:00:00.
I was listening to one of his stories. He was saying, " I was on my campaign trail in Ohio with the Ohio governor and he wanted to eat pie. We went to a very excellent pie resturant, but it didn;t have my favorite flavor. Then the employees asked me for a picture before the owner came back. I asked why, and they replied that the owner's a die hard republicain. Then when the owner came back, I asked him,how's your buissness. He relied, not so good because of the economy. I asked him who has been running the economy for the past 8 years. He said the republicans. I said to him, if you banged your head on the wall so hard, would you stop. He replied good point. Then I said to him try the Democrats. We can't do worse than the republicans."

Obama and McCain final Presidential debate.

I was watching the final presidential debate , and I really like how McCain said that Sarah Palin disagreed to a pipeline in Alaska that could provide oil and natural gas for lower America. She prefers to increase funding for Autism research. She wants a cure for Autism. This does not mean I support McCain , but it just means I like what McCain says. I prefer Senator Obama for president because he wants to reduce oil dependance in the next 10 years. He wants to use resources in solar, wind, electricity, and biofuels. He believes free trade and a good free trade agreement.A president that avocates free trade and agree to the peruvian government. A president that enforces unfair trade agreements and loan guarentees to car companies. He says that health insurance that you can keep People will use the insurance that Senator Mccain and I use. People will use government certified doctors and dentists and perscription drugs.
Small buissnesses will pay 0 tax dollars and affordable healthcare for small buissness owners. Under John McCain's policy you could lose your employer based healthcare. Obama's health care requires tax dollars and he will raise taxes for the Upper, upper class. Most millionaires and billionaires have ways of paying only 5% taxes. Is this fair to the middle class who pays 30% of income. No way. Under Barack Obama your tax would not raise . John McCain wants to give tax cuts to Exxon Mobil and other big buissnesses. McCain's policy is not fair. Obama may not be running against President Bush , but he is running against Bush's policies. Those are the same policies that John McCain voted for and those are the same policies McCain will continue. The middle class can't afford to have the same policies for another 4 years.
John McCain's Joe the plumber does not have certification for plumber and he does not earn 250,000 a year. John McCain lies about Joe the plumber. Joe the plumber wants to contiue the Iraq war.
John McCain has voted for George Bush 90% of the time. We cannot afford for another Bush policy.
Barack Obama believes that all Americans are entitled to affordable healthcare.

Obama and McCain

Barack Barry Obama is an American senator. He was born in Hawaii and raised by his single mother. His father and mother divourced and his father died in a car accident. His Father was from Kenya. Barry's grandmother still lives in Kenya and has not passed away. Barry went to Los Angles for college , then Columbia, and Harvard Law school. He has made his way up the eduaction ladder. His mother has trained him well not to deal with drugs, alcholism, or smoking. Currently in 2008 Barack Obama is running for president against John Mcain. John McCain has his grandfather, his father , and himself in the military. You can track his ancestry all the way back to a Revolutionary war general. He is not fit for president, instead he is fit for Defense secretary. He is also way to old. His policy is George W. Bush all over again. He is promising Tax credits, but on the other hand he is taxing the middle class more. It is like two hands, one is taking and another is giving.
Barack Obama has high diplomacy and well educated in Law. He is also very respected in Chicago because of his achievements with Africian Americans there. Barack Obama has also married a well educated PHD degree wife. His wife Michelle Obama worked with law , the same as him. John McCain fought wars like Vietiam. He think that being a POW is an achievement, but in my book that is far from an achievement because Obama started out a low grade student , but worked his way up to an A student in Harvard. That is what I call Exceeding expectations. I would like to thank Barack Barry Obama for his acomplishments to the middle class. He knows the middle class much better because he is a middle class tax payer. Obama will also have energy independance with solar, wind, and electricity, so we can forget about oil, gas, and coal.
His running mate, Joe Biden is also a hard working person because Joe Biden reminds me of Bill Clinton. He has that voice and that abiltity to assist Obama. He can persuade easilly and most of the time will stay on topic. McCain's Running mate, Sarah Palin a governor can't even stay on topic for questions in a debate, how can this women be vice president.

Message 3

Today I was at a family picnic. I played soccer and frissbee. My soccer skills has improved, especially my dribbling and kicking. Improving at something needs determination and focus. You must want to improve in order to try to improve. I have improved on me basketball free throws because I was thinking of how to shoot. I used to shoot with two hands , but now I shoot with one hand and the other as a guide.
Pracitice is another key concept because practicing at the violin or piano or any musical instrument helps your mind settle. If you stink at the piano, then find a private teacher and practice 25 to 30 minutes a day. I play the violin and I realized that I have gotten much better at it because I have been practicing more often. You also need to focus on a task and not have your mind wander around.
At the family picnic you would eat pizza and fried rice and juice. Pizza could be any pizza like Papa John's or Pizza hut. Chinese fried rice also taste extremely delicious and you have to try it when you go to china. At my family picnic we would also play badmitton. Badmitton is played in china and around the world. Badmitton is one of my favorite sport because it is easy to learn for all ages. Try it some day.

Message 2

I was playing tennis this afternoon and realized that tennis is fun because I finally got the concept of tennis.I am still working on my serve and backswing, but I am progressing very well in bouncing the ball on my racquet for very long time.
For those who have not learned tennis, you should try it because it is really fun and it is fit for all ages. From age 5 to 95 , people have been playing tennis all over the world. It first officially started in France and moved to England. England then spread tennis to all of its colonized nations. Now all the english speaking countries have tennis courts. In america all newer deveolpments have tennis courts.
