Political Cartoon- Current Event #3

This week...we have a political cartoon that has Bush and Putin TRYING to shake hands. This was not published in the US, to the world knows what's up. Bush has tried many times to get along with Putin, even "seeing his soul", but nothing has gotten better. We are not moving in a forward direction, we are moving more in a backward direction. They have frozen in place. Their trying to create a good relation with each other has failed and is going no where. This is kinda funny and totally true. Those people from Norway really know their politics!!!...Perhaps with Obama, we can get things lifted off the ground with Russia. However a few weeks ago, Russia made a threatening statement towards the president-elect practically saying that if he was going to interfere with anything that has to do with Russia and its defense nukes in it, they were going to have a problem!...HEY...BACK OFF RUSSIA!!!


PEACE...

Political Cartoon- Current Event #2

Alright...here's this week's political cartoon!!!

haha...ain't that funny?

Ok...this cartoon has to do with the bailout for the car comapnies. It syas how congress is taking major control. It seems that this cartoon is trying to convey congress as a large, powerful, gross man that is weird. This dude has on american flag pants and flip-flops. WEIRD combination...!!...

Anyways...it's saying that congress has control. Because it has given so much money, these car companies are kinda at its mercy. To the executives, congress may be correctly portrayed in this pic. Congress may be kinda intimidating, especially when it has some leverage when it comes to the decisions of this company. WHAT has happened to the free market?...idk...whatever...I still kinda like this cartoon. I like it even though its hard to really make out the people in the car, but whatever!

PEACE...

Political Cartoon- Current Event #1

Alright...we're back...Mr. Stroud had sent us back into the blogging world after a long, well-deserved vacation!!!

This week's PC is kinda funny:

So...here's the break down of this cartoon.

Here we have palin singing at the top of her lungs a song by Celine Deon...weird... She is holding a 2012 flag, while chilling on the tip of the RMS Republicans...However, I don't know what the heck is flying around in the background...anybody know?...I thought they looked like little donkeys flying around...but I really need some clarification...

Anyways...this political cartoon is trying to say that Palin ain't going nowhere...!!! That in itself is scary. It is saying that she will not quit and that she has her sights set on the years of 2012 to get her preseidency position...or maybe something different. IDK...but that's still scary...I think she should just leave the U.S. alone...I think she's too busy pardoning turkeys whil one is being cut up in the background...GO AWAY PALIN...whatever...

PEACE...

2008 Election Project- Week #6 (THE LAST)

here it is...the LAST election post...then it will come down to only one post a week for current events!!!

Alright...i'll leave the presidents for the last...

FOR THE HOUSE...

Wolf (10th)...because he has been in congress for 20+ years. People are happy with him and he is bound to leave sometime and THAT is when Feder can take the seat in the house...

Connolly (11th)...because, I have NO idea...I really don't know...that is NOT my district so I really haven't researched those candidates...bummer, right?

FOR THE SENATE...

Without a doubt...Warner is going to win this...he is destroying Gilmore in the polls and he (to me) seems like a more honest person. Gilmore actually looks like a rat...I can't stand him. But, yes, it will be warner for the Senate...which I am happy for!!!

FOR THE PRESIDENCY!!!...

HERE WE GO...drum roll please...thank you...and the next PRESIDENT...def Obama. People are sick of republicans with Bush and blame the republicans for the economic conditions. Democrats are about to be the majority. I feel that the republican party is going to def going to be a minority within the next 5 decades...virginia bcame blue, and so did other toss up states. I'm sorry that us in the northern part of virginia are not real virginians OR real americans...that sucks...why are we voting then?...O YEA...to NOT vote for the party that said that about us in NOVA...jerks...anyways...this is a stupid prediction with no science behind it...but obama will get 58% of the popular vote and umm...306 electoral votes...yea...no need to bet on my predictions, however!!!

ALRIGHT...

PEACE!!!

Current Event #6

Alright...this week's article is a doozy.

Turns out that today (Monday: 10/27/08), Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was convicted of corruption. He was charged for having taken money from an oil industry executive's money in order to RENOVATE HIS HOUSE. Alright...not if I was going to take crap money, I would not spend it on MY HOUSE...dude...get your priorities straight. I hate how, even thought there aren't many, that there are corrupted officials in our government. It is stupid and should be stopped immediately. Some politicians need to wake up and realize "hey, I have people to represent and a country to help run...maybe I shouldn't kill this hooker!"...alright...maybe not that drastic. Anyways...it's stupid and uncalled for. I would LOVE to have a word with the people who are corrupt enough as to put themselves before their district, state, or even country. What the freak happened?...where have all good polticians gone?
DONE...

PEACE...

Community Service Project #3 (THE LAST)

OH MAN...last blog post concerning my adventures with campaignin for Obama!!!

Whatever...this is overdue...

Well, on Wednesday (10/15) we went to volunteer for 2 hours (Carrie, Ronny, and I)...

We passed out flyers...and that went alright...but not great...We go a complaint from an old hag that worked at the Herndon Community Center. Apparently someone had complained to her because there was a flyer on their car. Excuse me, but there is a public park right by the Community Center...so BACK OFF...I can't stand some people today. Anyways...that's what we did...we tried great harvest and the guy there was also a jerk and a crap bag. The other places were pretty much successes...Starbucks, random parking lots, Bloom, and maybe somewhere else, but I forget.

Monday (10/20)- we did some phone calling...WHOOO HOOOO...

It started off really embarassing and awkward because they give you a script, and there is no way someone can read that thing withou sounding like it. That was kinda funny. Some people were nice (actually many people were pleasant)...and then there were the mean people that should just leave my town...they are so unpleasant and shouldn't be allowed any human contact. I'M SORRY MISS...I HAVE A JOB TO DO AND YOU'RE NOT MAKING IT ANY EASIER...I really wanted to say that but, that would shed bad light on obama...!!!...did NOT want to do that. ANyways, we got cool (I guess) cell phones to use. I broke mine. It was bad. However, they fixed it...thanks to mostly Ronny!!! Whatever, those phones were crap. Anyways...that is how we spent our last hours volunteering for the 2008 campaign. It was ok...but I think i'll just stick to voting...!!!...yay...

PEACE...

2008 Election Project- Week #5

So this blog will be all about the swing states...

The swing states will this election will be Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, New Jersey, Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Tennessee, New Mexico, and VIRGINIA!!!

Many of these states have been unpredictable for the elections, which is why they are considered swing states. States such as Virginia and Washington have normally voted Republican, but from recent polls, they have been leaning Democrat, causing an upset. Other states are on the border like Ohio. With Florida, there is a mix of the population, making it always a pivotal state. In Florida, there are many retirees and then there are many immigrants or naturalized citizens. This created an ideoligical clash between the two ideals.

New Jersey- this state is an interesting swing state. Since it is in the northeast, there is an assumption that it is liberal. This is, however, not the case. I think, though, that it will lean toward Obama because of a few variables. I think that people want change and they beleieve that change will not come with McCain as president. This will probably pursuade the independents and some republicans. Also, New York City is in that state and influences much of the state. Urban areas tend to be more liberal and that can possibly pursuade some states.

Virginia (the best state ever!)- Virginia is an interesting specimen. Virginia tends to lean more Republican in the past elections. This, however, may not be the case. Because of changing demographics, I feel that Virginia is going to lean towards Obama. People are ready for change and the newer voter generation in Virginia, I feel, tend to be more liberal with their views. However, soutehrn Virginia tends to be the region that goes conservative. The south mostly does this because it is very much in the south and is very agricultural. The agricultural regions tend to be conservative. However, in the Richmond area, there is a larger concentration of Obama supporters. Also, the VCU campus is located there, housing liberal college students. Notehrn VA tends to vote more liberal because of the massive concentration of immigrants and its large suburban demography. I think that the liberals are going to outdo the conservatives in this election. People want change and it probably won't come with McCain.

Ok THEN?...

PEACE...

Current Event #5

Alright...

This week's current event is once again involving the election. It is about how if McCain or Obama win, they will have a large influence on the Supreme Court. Four justices are bound to be replaced, and the next president will be that person to nominate them. If McCain were to win, he would prbably nominate a conservative and if Obama were to win, he would probably pick liberals. However, this is a theory. I hope that this theory is totally untrue, or just can't happen. However, I feel that whoever is elected, they will base their decisions on the character of the nominee and not on their party affilliation. But, this issue still scares me. I certainly do not want a biased court that is the highest in the nation. That is pretty much B.S.! Let's hope their is still good in this world and that checks and balances will see this through. Thank goodness for those dead people who wrote the constitution. They go at least one thing right. However, that doesn't get rid of the fact that it is possible. Who knows, maybe as soon as one of the candidates wins the election, theyll grow a tail and some horns and make our lives hell. PLEASE NO...whatever...something for you all to think about!!!

PEACE...

As seen, the majority of the population are leaning towards obama (top percentage). However, in West Vriginia, McCain is winning by 2%. This is because WV is a mostly argrarian state and not very urban. Many guns are owned in that state, many people are farmers in that state, and many people are concervative on social issues in that state.

In this poll, Obama is winning everything except for Ohio. In New York, Obama has a very large gap between his opponent. This is beause northern states tend to be more liberal, and because New York is very liberal with its very dense population in places such as NYC. Ohio, a key state, is tied because both have used many resources to campaign in that state. At the moment, VA is leaning towards Obama, but only by a few points. There is a high chance that VA will be voting democratic in the election this year!!

This poll has Warner destroying gilmore. I believe that this is happening because people do not trust gilmore and trust warner. I must say that I trust warner more. From what I have read, gilmore does not seem like the key person for this state. Senate is important, and we do not want to waste our votes on a person like gilmore who seems very slimy and knieving!!

This poll was taken from this link http://www.pollster.com/polls/va/08-va-sen-ge-gvw.php?xml=/flashcharts/content/xml/08VASenGEGvW.xml&choices=Warner,Gilmore&phone=&ivr=&internet=&mail=&smoothing=&from_date=&to_date=&min_pct=&max_pct=&grid=&points=&trends=&lines==

It has warner beating gilmore. The trend lines are separating, having gilmore falling and warner rising. As I said before, I think people don't trust gilmore from his beliefs and statements.

Other Stuff

Polling is a HUGE part in the election. It allows people to see what different citizens of the nation are thinking and wanting. In an election, is could possibly pursuade votes for the independent mass. It can also prematurely decide a "winner" and create an upset if the predicted winner does not win. Polls have been around for many years and stay around because people like to know what others think, it's human nature. We have been learning about polls in goernment and have found out that they are really accurate. The gallup poll that was started in the 1930s was known for being very accurate. This acurracy has made it a very prestige poll and has always been very reliable.

K...the boring thing is over...so...

PEACE...

Current Event #4

So...
This week's current event was on the fact that Obama is double digits aead in the polls. It also mentioned that, for independents, they are pursuaded to vote for Obama. They are leaning to the liberal side because they are not happy with the nation and that another Republican will just make it worse. Bush wasn't the worst president ever, people. I don't think so. Anyways...I am pretty happy about this fact. However, there is a thoery going around about people who are not sincere about their polls answers. There's a theory that white people say that they will vote for Obama as to not seem racist but that when they get to the polls, they may actually change their vote to McCain or one of he third party candidates. I, to a certain extent, believe that this theory may be true. There is still racism and especially racism that a person will not come out with it, but will do the little things to satisfy their hate for another race.
After those debates last night, the polls may have changed. It was said that Obama won the debate, but that may not have been the case. Both were strong at certain points. The polls could def change as a result of last night. When they talked to the independent voters after the debate, they were still not influenced...uh oh...!!!

Current Event #3

Alright...

My current event was found in this sunday's Washinton Post. It was named 'Palin Seizes On Obama's Ayers Ties'. It mentioned Palin's absurd statement that Obama wants the U.S. to dance with terrorism. First off, PALIN GO DIE. Second, Palin needs to find something else to do. Third, Palin needs to learn how to do an interview before she starts attacking anyone. And lastly, Palin needs to die. I am sick of her. She accuses Obama of being a radical beacuse he affiliates with someone who is known as a kind of radical. That is B.S. ma'am. You are insane and need to go crawl in that hole you came from. Go play the flute better. Just because someon hangs out or is affiliated with another person does not mean that they are exactly like that person or believes in the same things. Umm...I hang out with Catholics and Mormons, but I don't practice Catholicism or Mormonism. I also hang out with girls, but that doesn't mean I try to be one. Palin needs to go do another Currick interview. That's right Palin, go talk about that umbrella of yours. She needs to really focus more on trying to get McCain into the white house/running for office instead of mudslinging information that is bogus. I hate her even more. I feel bad for McCain because he is now running with her. Why did he do such a terrible thing by choosing her?...what have you done?...WHY? Anyways, in conclusion...Palin is dumb; Obama rocks; people are not like the people they are affiliated with; and focus on the things that really matter instead of trying to make yourself feel better about yourself! K?

Community Service Project #2

DOOOOOOD...

What a day it was yesterday. Well...this time I went with Carrie, Maggie, and Sarah and it was def a better time. We were in a neighborhood that we were familiar with and the weather was perfect. However, the people were not so perfect. We went door to door again and I think I was the only one to love it. The people were not as warming as the people were the first time I went to volunteer. That surprised me. We had more people refuse to talk to us than we did the first time. I don't understand the public anymore. What the heck, man. How bizarre! Anyways...we came across many Obama supporters and a handfull of McCain supporters. There was one house on our list that we were ready to go to...until we saw that they had two McCain signs in their yard. Instead of going to their door, Carrie def just put an Obama flyer on one of the 7 million cars in the driveway. It was kinda funny because we saw our old band director. That made the night totally worth it. Sure we were able to go to my house for a pit stop, but seeing Mr. Bergman was AWESOME!!!...I miss him. But that is beside the point!...Anyways, wait back to Mr. Bergman...he told us to look up Palin plying the flute for Miss Alaska...and WHOA...she SUCKED...she wasn't even elementary school worthy. SHE needs to find a new talent...o wait...she's trying politics. She needs to go back to playing the flute or tring to be miss alaska. Anyways...we never finished our route...and we were bummed. But we are DEF gonna finish at least one in our volunteering careers. Yet, the night was kinda stressful. The neighborhood was not as lit up as the one that we did on the other side of the world the other time. And continuing on...it was still a good night and I kinda want to try the phones now...but they will most likely be all filled up. I hate those lazy people that choose the phones over going door to door. WTF!!!...whatever...they can just die...so what if you are in a wheelchair...GO DOOR TO DOOR...jk...i'm not that mean...or am I?...i'll let you decide that...haha...

PEACE...

Current Event #2

Alright...I am going to write on the same issue that I typed for Mr. Stroud.

The article I read mentioned the reason why McCain was postponing the debate and that Obama said there was no need to do what McCain did. Obama said that the next president would have to fix the financial crisis anyway, so why work on it now? McCain (if you hadn't guessed already) postponed his debate with Obama so that he could go to washington and help with the financial crisis. Was he trying to be honorable in the view of he american public? Sir, you have done enough...however, being tortured in the vietnamese war does not qualify you for president (that may have been harsh). There are pros nd cons towards both candidates with this issue/article. First, I wonder why Obama was not as worried about this issue enough to go to D.C., whereas McCain stopped his whole campaign. That kinda worries me that Obama may have his priorities not in a correct order. But then, there is the fact that McCain stopped his whold campaign. This maks me question McCain's dedication to this race and makes me wonder how much he realy wants this. I guess since he has been trying to become a nominee for the past 3 (from what I know) elections, he may be kinda worn out. However, he seems a little iffy to me with his real reason for this campaign. The plus for Obama is that he was so focused as to ignore the fact that McCain was kinda showing him up in front of the nation. Obama made himself seem like a real determined candidate and real positive person to put in thw white house. However, the fact that McCain did this whole campaign stop, makes me see him as very noble. He decided to put aside his personal campaign to fix this nation, just as a senator. That takes guts I must say. I still don't agree with his views, but that doesn't mean that I don't like him as a person. He seems to be a very honest man. However, Palin I can flat out say that she is retarded and should go die. I can't stand her whatsoever. "I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY HOUSE!"...

PEACE...

2008 Election Project- Week #2

Alright...this post may b boring because it has a template as laid down by my history teacher...

The most important issue(s) to me in this election is the economy. Our economy is having trouble and I am going to be entering the workforce on a high caliber in the next few years. This scares me, so I want a president that will allow me to have faith when entering the rest of my life. Obama is def the person that eases my worries. Tax decrease for 95% of Americans?...psshhht...where do I sign? The state issue that I am concerned about is also a national issue. I feel that gun control is key to safety...and this issue has been a problem for many years. It is about time that we stop talking about it a start actually doing something that will actually help out the nation/state/county. It's kind of annoying how they are having trouble settling on the issue. Time is wasting, people are dieing, and I am getting nervous (yes that is an important deal). There is another issue, same sex marriage...but I haven't really heard anything about any of those issues fro any of the candidates and I had no success in finding it on their websites.

There was a debate last night. I was very bored to tears. For the youth, debates suck...especially for the poor 8th graders who have to watch them for civics. That sucked. All they talked about was energy, the economy, wars. Those interest me, but not to the point where they have to make an hour debate out of it. Just please say your view, my attention span is only so long. From what I heard/watched, Obama go it right. This actually may be biased...but o well. McCain was always attacking him so that the attention would go away from him. Obama was doing a great job at deflecting those attacts by the sweaty, weird, nervous McCain. However, one thing that caight my attention was that McCain would accuse Obama for doing something and Obama would deny it. Umm...excuse me sir...who's right?...who is telling the truth?...who can I trust? To be honest, I feel that Obama was lieing and that McCain was making accurate accusations. That hurts Obama in my eyes, but I can't jump to conclusions. Maybe McCain got the info messed up, or misconstrewed the situation. If that is the case, he has some firing to do! Well...that was really the only thing that caught my immediate attention. There was more stuff about wars, the economy (I like Obama's idea for the economy), and the world economy. HOWEVER...keep in mind that the economy is not the result of the current president but the few presidents before him/her (thanks Mr. Stroud). THAT is a key thing to remember when we accuse Bush of things that he probably had no control over. These things tha are established do not have immediate effects on the country. People look over that, whih sucks. Anyways...that's it...I may have to revise this post as a result of the few debates that are still to come...

O YEA...I also have to say how the media takes place in this election...and...well...they do a LOT...they are able to get info to the public very fast and are one of the reasons why people choose the candidate they do. A majority of the media ia biased and that helps to suade people to a certain candidate. K thanks...

PEACE...

Community Service Project #1

So...last night was a CRAZY night...Carrie, Maggie, and I went out to help the campaign for Obama. WHAT A NIGHT!!!...well first off we went to the Herndon/Reston Democrat location and we met our helper person named Caitlin. She was nice and was very, very dedicated. She was actually really tight because she was young and made us (wel at least me) feel better abou being there. I dunno if you know...but there were WAY too many old people there, and that scared me. So when we go there at 6 pm, we signed in and got to work. Well, actually, we were allowed to choose what we wanted to do for 3 hours (9 pm). There was the choice of a) calling voters on the phones and b) walking door-to-door and getting the info of registered voters. Well...I don't know about you but I was NOT about to talk to people on the freakin' phone for 3 hours. That would be very boring, awkward, and very much self-demoting. I do NOT get any respect on the phone with these types of things. However, I really don't return the favor of respect when people call my house about different candidates (then again, all of them are automated). So we chose to go door-to-door...IN THE RAIN. THIS is where it ALL begins. So not only were we on a time schedule, but it was raining and we had NO clue where we were going. We def got lost for an hour. Maggie freaked, Carrie freaked, and I freaked. Let me tell you, I have NEVER made so many U-turns in my life. This was an adventure. Let's just say that rain, misdirection, teenagers, and night, do NOT mix very well. We were supposed to go on Fairfax County Parkway. We did that, but IN THE WRONG DIRECTION...that is what drove us off the sane end. At this point, Maggie was stressed, Carrie was sticking flyers out teh car window, and I was very hot in my jacket. Finally, after a freakin' hour of turning around, we found the road...after Carrie screamed her guts out and Maggie and I freaked out, we drove passed it. "Uh oh". We did a U-turn and then did another because there was no break in the median (this is in the Chantilly area, btw). We then got to our neighborhood destination. A freakin' hour to find Old Plain Road...what the heck. So thank god things got a little better now that we were out of the car and had space to breathe. The first house did not answer, the next one was the wrong one, but the FINALLY, we got to a nice man's house who was in fact a democrat. He was our saint since we had had no luck WHATSOEVER. Anyways...the whole place was getting very eerie, for it was raining and very dark. BTW...those houses were SO WEIRD...first off the doors were on the freakin' side of the house and these houses were SO close together. I will never be living on top of my neighbor like these people were. ANYWAYS...we had a good bit of success. Hit a few dead houses, but we felt good, until we realized that we did not finish the first of two routes and it was time to go. We told caitlin the truth, but she was very fine with it (at one point in the night, she called carrie and said that she was worried about us because it was dark, raining, and we are only 17). We were ALL very happy that caitlin was very lenient. Next time we'll def know what to do. I hate talking on phones, and now I hate frogs/toads (there were a LOT of them last night (carrie killed one- not really, but she was close)). Last night was fun, yet very stressful. Whatever, we are GOiNG BACK BABY...and we are going to be better at everything. So there you go...the first 3 hours of our service project for government. WHOOO...what a great first day (not)...!!!

Peace...

Current Event #1

So...



I have read an interesting/scary article in the Washington Post about Obama and his effort to win Florida. This year, since Florida is a 'toss-up' state, Obama is pumping $39 million to make sure he wins Florida. This article talked about how the northern Floridians are more of McCain followers whereas, the more non-white, southern Floridians are for Obama. Let's face it, McCain is hurting because he really hasn't done anything to get Florida. That makes me feel like he doesn't care. Instead of going for Ohio, like Kerry did in 2004, Obama decided to try a different route, and McCain hasn' really been on a route. Whatever...let's see what happens!!!

Peace...

2008 Election Project- Week #1

Alright...
Here's the D.L. for my beliefs with this things that throws the nation into mass hysteria, the presidential election...

I would def say that I am for Obama. I really don't think that that decision will ever change. I believe in:

• Stronger gun laws- sure we have the right to protect ourselves, but most crimes are done with GUNS. I feel that if an 18 year old can get a shotgun, all of us might as well shoot ourselves right now. I am going to say that if an 18 year old is willing to cut themselves or even give their body to drugs, what is stopping them from killing everyone they hate. I mean, we're/they're teens, we are a little hormonal loopy!...Get a bat if you want to portect yourself...OH...A CROSSBOW...those work wonders!...anyways...there are some stupid parents that leave their guns out for their 4 years olds to play 'star wars' with!...what is stopping them from killing themselves?...there have been MANY cases of that happening and it seriously needs to stop!
• I am for same sex marriage. Look, they are born that way...it's their life...leave them alone! God loves EVERY one of his children, and the gays aren't excluded from that. What, so the mentally challenged are still in his good graces while the homosexuals are stuck in a rut? I don't think so. That's not how god works. So let them express their love by doing the highest possible thing they could. You don't have to live their life, so stop trying to control it. "With liberty and justice for all"!!!
• I am, without a doubt, pro-choice. We do NOT need any other kids in the foster system of the nation. If a woman wants to get rid of her child that she doesn't know, so be it. Let her. What if it is a high school mother and high school father?...I'm sorry, but I don't want to be taking care of a child while I am trying to go to prom. I am not shoing up at that dance with a baby sling on my chest, thank you. Stop birthing children that are going to end up with a TERRIBLE life, because they were born to parents who were too young, or do not have any money whatsoever.

At this point, I can not STAND Palin. Go back to Alaska you witch. No thanks, I do NOT want to go to war with Russia over freakin' Georgia. FOR all we know, she may think that RUssia invaded the state of Georgia. Also, before you go on running for V.P., please get you family straight. I'm sorry, you just had a baby. Last time I checked, it is MUY IMPORTANTE that a new born child sees BOTH its parents. How are you going to handle that when you are touring the nation?...plus, that is going to be one CORRUPTED kid. Imagine being 8 years old with a mother who is the V.P. of one of the world superpowers, and having that be the only thing you know. I don't know about you, but that SUCKS (just like the steelers)!!!...Put Palin back in her cage in Alaska and bring forth Obama and Biden...I don't care that Obama does not many years of experience. Umm...Kennedy didn't have many years of experience, but he wasn't that bad (from what I hear)...O yea...another thing about Palin...she doesn't want to teach about sex in schools...umm...ma'am...THAT'S WHY YOUR DAUGHTER IS PREGNANT AT 17...GEEZE, I absolutely HATE her...McCain just had to pull the woman card because Obama had the racial card...WTF MATE?...

Obama views vs. McCain Views

Education

Obama want to get rid of the 'No Child Left Behind' (good)- McCain want to keep it (bad)

• Enough with this stupid thing that gets rid of money. Thos whole system is stupid. 'Let's punish schools with bad performance'...NO...then their standards drop...last time I checked...THAT'S NOT GOOD!!!

Energy

Obama want to find better forms of energy (good) and so does McCain (good)

• I agree with both...but...I still am leaning towards Obama...!!!

It's about time I wrap this up...so PEACE!!!
