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...

I am with you on the economy. Especially with this bailout plan, where will it leave us in the future. Our generation will be the ones either reaping the benefits or struggling with the negative repercussions. Also I agree with you on the debates. They were boring and I felt like Obama thought he was Mr. Know-It-All. I did not like how he interjected, but honestly it did show that he was assertive so I guess it's not all a bad thing. PEACE!
P.S. we need to volunteer againnn!
I agree with you on the economy. We're going to be so screwed for college in terms of tuition if we keep having this financial problem. I'd say Obama eases my worries too when he said 95% of Americans get tax cuts. And yeah, I was bored too. I was watching it on msnbc.com and I kept having to go back because I kept dozing off. Those poor kids in Mrs.Cotner's class....hahaha memories.
Hey Tyler! I wrote about the economy too as my major issue that concerns me in this election also :D I mean seriously if we all get 05% tax decrease how much of a relief it would it be really for so many people, and it allows to focus our own money on other things like paying college tuition or gas! I thought both candidates did a good job, but I thought Obama was a way better speaker then McCain was...what I really didn't like is McCain didn't even really look at Obama didn't seem like he was listening to him talk while Obama seemed to be paying attention, actions speak louder then words! :D
yeah I like how the media plays into the election and I think that it is interesting that you brought that up! Because I was thinking the same thing whenever I think about the election.
