The Candidate

I wrote a media analysis and I somehow believe that Obama is similar to Bill McKay. See my media and tell me what you think. Do you think he is speaking out and will be able to accomplish the goals he says he will? will he outbeat the traditional candidate like McCain. Is he charismatic?Or is he getting all this attention because he is young and attractive, look at Obama girl

By observing the film, The Candidate, we can see how the political advisor Marvin Lucas allowed Bill McKay to express his own political message in any way he pleased. He at first believed that McKay would not get much political attention but he was wrong, McKay began to get followers and was a threat to the former Senator. What made Bill McKay was that he was unlike the other candidates from the past he address issues that were forbidden to address such as issues of abortion or addressing funds in another direction. To some his ideas were fanciful but to him and to those who believed in him it was possible. He did not assure them all the answers but he assured them that he would give his best. Bill McKay spoke to the people with his heart and emotions he was pure believer in his ideas and personally there is nothing wrong with that. I as a political advisor would keep the candidates originality and approach but mold them to suite the ideals of America.

In The Candidate he first was addressing issues that were to his followers concern but in the end he was dried because he was advised how to do thing and his passion was not the same. I hope Obama will not be like the Candidate who won and in the end was confused and nervous. Imagine that occurring?

Government of Mexico

It is almost impossible to believe that less than two hundred years ago we were on Mexican soil. Mexico extended from the border of California to the borders of Texas. Now in 2008 the Mexican people who try to cross the region that once belong to their people are now scrutinized as a “foreigner” aliens to the first world country. America is known as the land of hope several migrated to the United States in hopes of pursuing a better life. Why is does the US magnify the on Mexican immigrants? According to David M. Reimers the author of the Other Immigrants: The Global Origin of American People states of the latest newcomers, Latinos constitute about half. Within half of that Latino population that comes to the United States, Mexicans account 60 percent of the nation’s Hispanics (p101). It is the long- term and short term migration of Mexicans that represent the greatest economic, political and cultural impact of any other group.

The continuous inflow from Mexican migrants to the US has caused a tremendous fear of the altering the US identity. Samuel P. Huntington states that Mexicans above all has divided the United Sates into two people, cultures, and two languages (p. 1). Mexicans and other Latinos do not fully assimilate into the mainstream US culture forming their own political and ethnic enclaves. In the “Hispanic Challenge”

Huntington pointed out six factors that demonstrate that the Mexican migration is different in comparison to others: contiguity, scale, illegality, regional concentration, persistence, and historical presence. These factors are what distinguish the Mexican migrant flow to the US. Alongside this is the American perspective of the immigration but what exactly does Mexico feel when emigration occurs? What are their perspectives of the Mexican impact to the US and how does the Government of Mexico feel towards the new policies aimed towards the Mexican illegal immigration?

Mexico a third world country is a hop and a step to a powerful nation, the United States. In Mexico the Unites States companies and corporation establish maquiladoras along the northern city of Mexico, though this helps the job market, they become more aware of the United States cities across the border and thus cross to find a better living.

Remittances, money being sent back to migrants homeland, helps Mexico highly. Many families would not survive without the fund that they receive form Mexico. The Mexican government knows that money is badly needed in economically depressed communities (Reimer p110). The previous president of Mexico Vincente Fox is are that the transfer amount to Mexico accounts as the third largest source of income (p.110). Mexico thus is highly dependent on the United States migrant inflow.

On May 13, 2005 then current President Fox complimented immigrants working in the Unites States, he praised them for their dignity, great contribution, and willingness and ability to work jobs that not even “Blacks were willing to do”( Schartzman 2007). Although the Presidents comments were on a more racist level he and the Government of Mexico feel that Mexican are the only ones that are willing to do the jobs that no other one is willing to do. In 2006 HR4437 immigration reform bill was a grand controversy of what the United States felt was a just and effect method of controlling the United States illegal inflow. HR4437 consisted of a 700 mile fence between the US and Mexican border, incorporation of satellite communication, increase of penalties and etc. The Mexican government felt that Hr4437 was shameful and was xenophobic politics by creating a fence, locking up illegal immigrant as prisoners and deportation to be sent back from where they came from. It was December 16, 2005 when the bill was actually passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 239 to 182 meaning that 92 percent of the Republicans supported it and 82 percent of the Democrats opposed it. The public reaction was set up several protest in 2006 millions gather along major cities to demonstrate that HR4437 was not just. When the bill arrived at the Senate it did not pass. Several feel that it was the major cryout of the people that could have influenced the Senate to not approve it.

Charlie Wilson's War

During the 1980’s East Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson led a successful covert operation in history. With his two ally friends Gust Avrokotos an ex CIA agent and a beautiful wealthy Joanne Herring were able to make an unlikely war occur and achieve their goals. The Soviet began to occupy Afghanistan and crimes and injustice acts were committed to the Afghani people, unfortunately people throughout the nations were not taking this in consideration but rather Joanne Herring a female non-politician kept an eye. She approached Charlie Wilson and arranged for him to visit the president of Afghanistan, when he went his blindfolds were removed and began to see the reality. His heart felt the pain and his humanitarian instinct kicked in. He was able to defeat the odds. The Afghani were able to get rid if the reign of the Soviet Union with the surprising help of Israeli providing arms. When analyzing the film Charlie Wilson’s war we are able to interpret certain occurrences with our political sociology knowledge. Two features that I discovered was the removal of direct barrier and encouragement. By apply these aspects we are able to interpret the film with more facility.

Wars are a very costly therefore Charlie had to encourage several political leaders and capitalist that this war was positive and that their funding was essential for the war to continue. Encouragement includes government and non-government that target parts of the population and provide incentives to facilitate their participation in the polity (Nueman 2005, 147). Thus Charlie Wilson, Gust, and Joanne were not a government organization and were in quest to persuade certain region of the population, the elites. With the help of the elites Charlie Wilson’s war is all possible. One particular character was influenced by Joanne she is a religious person therefore she used her religious beliefs to persuade him that it is a religious war and fortunately it worked.

The second aspects is the removal of direct barrier. The removal of direct barrier is an inclusion mechanism that ends blockage to a groups entrance to the polity and expand access for the group that is not fully included in the polity(Nueman 2005,150). The direct barrier for the Afghani was the Soviet Union. The Soviet had control of Afghanistan for it continuously bombed and attacked its people. An example that was a shock to me was the tactic of confusing the children. They would place ‘shiny toys’ along the ground but in reality it was a bomb, the explosion of the bomb mutilated and scarred the bodies of these infants. Therefore with the removal of the direct barrier Afghanistan had hope of becoming a protected and free nation.

Charlie Wilson’s War was a collection of actual events that occurred. I felt compassion for the film and felt that all is possible but it raised a question in my mind. What occurred to that relationship we had with Afghanistan? If Charlie Wilson were to go in 2008 would he be respected or be terrorized?

The Sixties

Throughout human history people nearly at the bottom of society have engaged in urban riots, peasant uprising, slave revolts, mutinies, mass strikes and insurrections to express grievance, acquire power and or advance their political views (Neuman 2005, 231). Until the 1960’s to early 1970’s political sociologist saw social disruption as a serious social and political unrest. The sixties would mark history forever and create the footstep for today’s revolutionaries. The film The Sixties: The Years that Shaped a Generation demonstrated the occurrences and the social upheaval. With a clear mind on a set goal whether it was to end the War in Vietnam or the fight for civil rights it was all shaped and express through music.

During the 1950’s to early 1960’s it was a period of mass apathy, to be apathetic was positive and necessary for a stable democracy. The future of American democracy depended on the wisdom, responsibility and resourcefulness of nation’s elite (Neuman 2005, 7). It is stated that political sociologist during this classical era distrusted the mass uneducated, low income, marginal, members of society who did not embrace established norms. Social change, political unrest changed direction in the late 1960’s African Americans tried to exercise their democratic right to vote. Summer after summer US soldiers patrolled large US cities after massive riots (Neuman 2005, 9). Images in the film consisted of the Black Panthers, the Columbia students protest, the Chicano Movement, and the African American civil rights movement. The enlightened group believed in an egalitarian society, where everybody was finally going to be treated equally. To some extent these leaders were dreamers but their dreams did set a mark in human history.

During the sixties people were in a political struggle. Political struggle is among groups for power. According to Neuman struggle includes the peaceful and nonpeaceful action by a group or coalition of people to expand or defend their position of power that meets with opposition from others (p.25). Frame conflict is used in a political struggle and can be the site of struggle. To be more specific it was injustice frame for the 1960’s which is part of collective action frame that excites moral indignation or righteous anger towards a concrete target and demands action because a sense of protest can be assign blame, motivates followers and direct action (Neuman 2005, 274). For example African American then referred as negros wanted to be seen and respected as any other American. Rosa Parks became famous for refusing the bus driver’s order to give up her seat for white passenger. She motivated and inspired Martin Luther King who later would be a pivotal pioneer of the civil rights movement. He and his followers had moral indignation that they were not treated equally and fairly thus took action by protesting.

Some political sociologists see the emergence of a social movement society and the new social movement as a culture change and new self identities (Neuman, 2005 228). The sixties were the years that shaped a generation it shaped and open the eyes of many. The sixties was the birth of many movements to come. Women’s Liberation movement a series of campaigns and protest on issues such as reproductive rights (including abortion), domestic violenceequal pay, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. Another minority group that got inspires was LGBT for their gay rights LGBT want social equality and were tired of being sexually oppressed. The fight equality still continues today.

Music idols such as Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones quenched the thirst for spiritual understanding. Black Americans were sustained and healed and nurtured by the translation of their experience into art above all music. My parallel is always music because all of the art out there, All the work that must go into improvisation so that appears that you never touched it music makes you hungry for more (Bradley 2001, 67). With music and the social movement of the people the sixties was a bookmark in history.

Calderon: Current Mexican President

The positions of President Calderon that are addressed in 2005-2007 US immigration legislation

• H.R. 4437

– Calderon has called the building of a wall along the border a “medieval” approach to immigration control because it completely misses the point in trying to find a solution to the immigration problem

– Calderon expressed anger at the idea of Mexicans being considered criminals just for trying to support their families and denounced the criminalization of those who aid the undocumented workers

• S. 2611

– Calderon strongly supports a plan for legalization for undocumented Mexicans in the United States

– Calderon strongly supports a guest worker program. The six year plan of this bill would have been met with the support of the Mexican president

• S. 1348

– Calderon’s call for legalization and fairness are echoed in S. 1348, with the Z Visa and DREAM Act

– This bill includes a limited guest worker program as well which is also supported by Calderon

The legalization and guest worker policies of this bill are all in line with Fox’s goals

S. 1348

• The Z Visas are a form of legalization that are integral to Fox’s desires for US immigration policy

The very limited guest worker program is not sufficient however

The requirement for the completion of 370 miles of fence is counter to Fox’s position on the issue

Wal-Mart and Hillary: CLEAR CONNECTION

Some of you may think it serves our people. LOL but actually Hillary Clinton was on the board of trustees. She actually worked inside of the Wal-Mart empire. According to Brian Gross Hillary makes no history of with Wal-Mart, she does not mention any relation with the corporation. Wal-Mart, is a company that is able to provide the lowest prices because it sets the bar and the standard for the lowest prices. Wal-Mart exploits the workers in foreign countries such as in China and Cambodia, they overwork adults, and children for a measly pay. Wal- Mart benefit lumpsom for the fact they pay factory workers poorly and do not settle for less than the rate that they choose to pay the Americans. Wal-Mart is appose to unions.

Hilary Clinton was on the board of Wal-Mart for 6 years. Currently she denounces Wal-Mart policies but then it was a different story. She was a great supporter of Wal-Mart and their methods of becoming a megacenter. In the video clip down below we can see her on the board.

Hillary's Reason Why She Continues to Run

In case any of you are interested in knowing why Hillary is still running...here are her actual words......

Hillary: This past Friday, during a meeting with a newspaper editorial board, I was asked about whether I was going to continue in the presidential race.
I made clear that I was - and that I thought the urgency to end the 2008 primary process was unprecedented. I pointed out, as I have before, that both my husband's primary campaign, and Sen. Robert Kennedy's, had continued into June.
Almost immediately, some took my comments entirely out of context and interpreted them to mean something completely different - and completely unthinkable.

I want to set the record straight: I was making the simple point that given our history, the length of this year's primary contest is nothing unusual. Both the executive editor of the newspaper where I made the remarks, and Sen. Kennedy's son, Bobby Kennedy Jr., put out statements confirming that this was the clear meaning of my remarks. Bobby stated, "I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense."

I realize that any reference to that traumatic moment for our nation can be deeply painful - particularly for members of the Kennedy family, who have been in my heart and prayers over this past week. And I expressed regret right away for any pain I caused.
But I was deeply dismayed and disturbed that my comment would be construed in a way that flies in the face of everything I stand for - and everything I am fighting for in this election.

And today, I would like to more fully answer the question I was asked: Why do I continue to run, even in the face of calls from pundits and politicians for me to leave this race?
I am running because I still believe I can win on the merits. Because, with our economy in crisis, our nation at war, the stakes have never been higher - and the need for real leadership has never been greater - and I believe I can provide that leadership.

I am not unaware of the challenges or the odds of my securing the nomination - but this race remains extraordinarily close, and hundreds of thousands of people in upcoming primaries are still waiting to vote. As I have said so many times over the course of this primary, if Sen. Obama wins the nomination, I will support him and work my heart out for him against John McCain. But that has not happened yet.

I am running because I believe staying in this race will help unite the Democratic Party. I believe that if Sen. Obama and I both make our case - and all Democrats have the chance to make their voices heard - in the end, everyone will be more likely to rally around the nominee.

I am running because my parents did not raise me to be a quitter - and too many people still come up to me at my events, grip my arm and urge me not to walk away before this contest is over. More than 17 million Americans have voted for me in this race - the most in presidential primary history.

I am running for all those women in their 90s who've told me they were born before women could vote, and they want to live to see a woman in the White House. For all the women who are energized for the first time, and voting for the first time. For the little girls - and little boys - whose parents lift them onto their shoulders at our rallies, and whisper in their ears, "See, you can be anything you want to be." As the first female candidate in this position, I believe I have a responsibility to finish this race.

I am running for all the men and women I meet who wake up every day and work hard to make a difference for their families. People who deserve a shot at the American Dream - the chance to save for college, a home and retirement; to afford quality health care for their families; to fill the gas tank and buy the groceries with a little left over each month.

I believe I won a 40-point victory two weeks ago in West Virginia and a 35-point victory in Kentucky this past week - despite voters being repeatedly told this race is over - because I'm standing up for them. I'm standing up for the deepest principles of our party and for an America that values the middle class and rewards hard work.

Finally, I am running because I believe I'm the strongest candidate to stand toe-to-toe with Sen. McCain. Delegate math might be complicated - but electoral math is not. Our campaign is winning the popular vote - and we've been winning the swing states we need to get 270 electoral votes and take back the White House: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arkansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, Florida and West Virginia.

But no matter what happens in this primary, I am committed to unifying this party. Ultimately, what Sen. Obama and I share is so much greater than our differences. And I know that if we come together, as a party and a people, there is no challenge we cannot meet, no barrier we cannot break and no dream we cannot realize

Clinton’s faith in Puerto Rico

• 
  In Puerto Rico, Hillary Clinton is keeping her head high and hopeful. She is going to continue for her presidential bid. On Sunday, yesterday was offered a spiritual defense. It is quite admirable to see her strive to continue her campaign. Clinton spoke to the crows about the faith she has. She states "there isn't anything we cannot do together if we seek God's blessing and if we stay committed and are not deterred by the setbacks that often fall in every life," she said. On Sunday Puerto Rico holds its primary. She expects to win over a handful of those delegates for the fact a good portion of NY is Puerto Rican. She hopes this gives her the extra boost she needs to take on the Presidential democratic bid.

What makes this years elections so unique?

According to the new polls and even what you can easily observe youth are becoming much more involved in this years polls. The struck of attention may be fore the fact the controversy of Bush's adminstration. As well the attention is because of the media is closer to thier reach , now with internet, you can access the LA Times, NY times and youtube.com with a click of a button.

Are you going to vote?

McCain and Obama (lobbyist)

The candidates Barack Obama and John McCain have intensified their battle stating that each of their campaign is not tainted by lobbyists.

A lobbyist in case you are curious:

• “A lobbyist is someone who encourages the passage, defeat, or modification of legislation by conveying information and opinions to legislators.”

• Legislators also benefit from the work of lobbyists. Given the hundreds of bills and amendments introduced during each legislative session, it's impossible for legislators to gauge the potential effects of all of them. Information provided by lobbyists helps legislators make decisions about the large volume of proposals more quickly and efficiently.
  


• is an activist usually paid by an interest group to promote their positions to legislatures. A lobbyist can also work to change public opinion through advertising campaigns or by influencing 'opinion leaders'

Obama is certainly ahead of McCain restricting lobbyist participation in his campaign, but it certainly does not make him ‘clean and clear free’ of lobbyist Both have used lobbyist in their campaign. They both certainly have attacked each other for lobbyist ties and who is doing the most to limit them

“Obama says that he now has no federal lobbyists on his campaign payroll and accepts no donations from lobbyists -- what would be a historic standard for a major-party presidential nominee” (LA TIMES)

As for McCain he is restricting the use of lobbyists but he will receive donations from them.

Celebs and Obama

The public society usually idolizes actresses, actor, singers and other sorts of celebrities. If a

celebrity is wearing skinny jeans with oversized glasses then the herd who idolizes will start

wearing skinny jeans with oversize glasses. It is literally monkey see monkey do! Celebrities

such as those in the video below are aware of the power that they have to influence. Will I Am,

John Legend, and Scarlett Johansson were one of the few people in this music video that

preached about Obama. It is clear that they can captivate people with music but it is more clear

that they are able to change or bring up curiosity to the fans. Videos on youtube,com facilitates

the task.

illegal immigrants

An issue that has always struck my attention is illegal immigration, I am a first generation here in the United States fortunately my family does not suffer from deportation for the fact that we are all legal citizens or residence. But through my observation in other people I have been able to see the pain and frustrated of being singled out as being different and not among them. I wonder why does the color pigmentation make such a difference. I understand that the majority do enter illegally but the entrance is due to a push pull effect,

The push factor is that Mexico is a third world country, and the economy is basically very low to support all the nation

The pull factor is that we are hiring for cheap labor.

We cannot say we do not want them here when you know they are behind the scene in Olive Garden and almost every restaurant you step in. There has got to be a better way

Social Security and Medicare

How will you ensure social security and medicare to survive in the generations ?

This question is a major concern to the United States residence. Social Security encompasses social welfare and social insurance. Through the payroll taxes they able to encompass a trust fund that will provide a saving when the elder reaches her/his age. It initially began by Franklin Roosevelt in 1935 at firs this was a very smart idea but after time and our growth of our population. Social Security is now a concern, it is now not secure future for us. What was once a security is now a political issue in this campaign. In my media analysis I felt that Barack Obama was very clear with his intension and his response. Somehow I have always observed that candidates, diplomats and etc. weed their way out of a concrete answer and I felt that Barack Obama was very respectful and did what he was asked to do ? what are his intension in Social Security issue and medicare.

There will be 78 million baby boomers that are going be retiring. Therefore this is a main concern especially since President Bush used the trust fund for the war in Iraq. We as resident get 100% pay roll tax on our income but unfortunately those who are the elite and are in financial stability are not charge 100% pay roll tax but a fraction of one percent. Barack Obama clearly sees this unjust gap therefore if we close that gap we can ensure that social security is there. The second observation that I made was the person that was holding the debate was going to cut off Obama but Obama respectfully finished the woman’s question. I find that quite admirable. Afterwards observe Clinton response to the same question her answer was not concrete.

More on McCain

In order to get a full understanding of a person, we must dig through the past. Should this rule apply to the presidential candidates? In the video below we can see that there is a biography that displays John McCain non-conservative side. McCain like any other young attractive man was a womanizer, he was a Don Juan. He enjoyed drinking and gambling. I feel that in any election they will take out any possible dirt available. Although he had his years of fun I still don’t feel that makes him less worthy of being a president. I am in awe of the public, like as if they never had one drunken night or cheated on their significant other. We you are young you do do things that are extreme but that does go away with age. Me being in college I do live the college life with all my peers but I am almost certain that the majority of us will stop this once we are settled in a career.

In the end of the 7 minute footage they demonstrate keypoint that highlight why he should not be president.

-Poor student

-Breaks Navy regulations

-Drinker and smoker

-Cheats on wife

-Reckless pilot

-Pill head wife

POW

• Wow. He was in Vietnam and was a prisoner of war. I totally respect that, but that in no way makes him more fit to be president. I am aware he is has been serving this nation much longer than Hillary or Obama. He as well has seniority which in a sense can make him more respectful.

• Because he was a prisoner of war, I am lured to finding out more about John McCain. John McCain was a prisoner of war for 5 and ½ years more than anyone of us can physically bear. I feel that he has the mental capacity to withstand any challenge he faces.

• I also feel that he may be more comprehensive of the Iraq war because he was in the Vietnam War and I am sure that those images were lively in his head. I am ‘think’ he does not want to repeat history all over again.
  

McCain's age

What makes McCain stand out like a sore thumb is his age in comparison to other candidates. He is 72 years old, while Hillary Clinton is 60 and Barack Obama at 46. Several fear that he will only serve one term as president therefore it is essential to have a grand vice president with him at hand. Others believe that McCain might even die during his time serving as president. But in the video down below he states that his age is not an issue for the fact his mother still lives. I think that this may affect him emotionally and can cause him to lose some votes. He would be the oldest president yet. I personally find no flaw with his age. I believe perhaps he would put in the best effort because of his shortage of age.

What I say is true

The power of the internet can been seen incredibly in this years presidential elections. I find it incredible that the public can now show and demonstrate the faults of the nominees. The power of youtube is mast with free access anyone can get their opinion or facts out there. People in search of more knowledge can now click on a button and access the where about of any subject. What makes internet so unique compared to any other broadband access is the fact that things will be forever repeated. Candidates must keep am alert at all times because if media or the public nation finds a flaw they will be drilled until the very end in the video displayed below it makes you second guess whether you are still rooting for McCain. The video clearly shows McCain contradicting himself. He says one thing and a moment later states another. We are not clear of McCain’s intentions because he is continuously bouncing back and forth. I wonder if his lack of being concrete with his answers has anything to do with he is being manipulated by the republicans on what he should say. Maybe certain things are what he believes and the other are what they want him to say and believe. I see McCain as a puppet of the Republican party. Do I feel he is a bad candidate ? No. I just wonder what are his true intentions. They say that John McCain is a liberal Republican I wonder if he just stands a bit out of the neoconservative crowd?

Environmental OBAMA

I have a response to the O’Reily factor episode on “Obama : Don’t Take my SUV and AC Away. It is clear that global warming has become an issue especially since we have noticed the impact that we are doing in the past 50 years. Issues like this one is brought up in the presidential elections. Barack Obama believes that he can lead the Americans into the right direction. Of course in the O’ Reily a strong conservative network disagrees that this man is capable. She brings up a point that Obama mentioned “that we cant drive around with our SUV and air conditioners and eat as much.” She mocks him and says that he wants us Americans to give up our sovereignty for global warming. I think it is time to make sacrifices. For our decision to live more luxuries we must pay for the repercussion. Global warming does exist lady!!!!!!

What is global warming? “The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years”. We are truly endangering our wildlife and if global warming does occur we can expect catastrophic incidence. So now as you may ride on your fat ass in your air-conditioned car, throw away recyclables into the garbage, hair spray your overbleached hair, I hope you open your mind a bit and realize he UNLIKE you he is making an effort that you reluctantly are willing to make.

Win you over

“The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.”
-Sigmund Freud

Barack Obama has not rested until he is completely heard, and people have removed the blindfold they have carried for years and let themselves hear what he has to say. He gather so many people in his speeches and campaign that he may even be comparable to Martin Luther King. After a few Barack Obama video clip analysis I truly understood why they call him charismatic leader. Barack Obama has a way with words that can soften even the toughest heart. He has been able to bring America a new perspective in the presidential campaign. Never has such a president shown an emotional side to a campaign. I somehow relate this to the 1960’s lively turmoils where the people were tired of settling down and were in political unrest. He like leaders then are giving people hope and a sense of feelings and true emotions of what it is to be AMERICAN. In one of the videos I was quite impressed that I truly began to feel my heart beat raise and my eye fill with tears. He is really motivational. He is comparable to Anthony Robbins, he wants us to wake our giant within ourselves. I am still not quite sure which candidate I shall vote for but I am glad I am opening myself to more options

Obama response back!

Recently President Bush spoke out against Obama. In front of the Israeli parliament Bush instead of speaking out of solutions for the Middle East. He actually accused Obama and other democrats and called them “appeasers” that were no different that appeased Adolph Hitler. President Bush had surprised Obama with this comment. Obama response back to Bushes comment and says that these comments that are made are the kind of comments that divided our nation. I agree with his comment. I agree that we do need change in Washington. I just wonder how much change will Obama bring if he truly becomes president. Is it possible for a charismatic man to bring that much radical change in one term? Or perhaps two?

McCain response to Bush’s comment is that he agreed with George W. Bush. He and bloggers discussed Obama running for President. He stated that “Obama is unfit to be the presidential candidate” The McCain’s reasoning is that Obama method of negotiating with tough diplomacy with countries like Iran.

As a response to the Republicans, Obama made it publicly announce that he would gladly have a debate with John McCain and George W Bush in the issue of protecting this nation. I thought truly that this was very admiral instead of badmouthing like the other two he actually wanted to dual this out. I felt this was very genuine and educated approach rather than a barbarian or childish act.

Election:Clinton

For the past few months I have been observing the Presidential election. I hope that in the completion of my blogs I will be able to reach a better conclusion of who I would prefer to be our next presidential candidate. At first I believed that Hillary Clinton would be the best candidate due to the fact that well Clinton’s administration was not a complete and utter failure. I felt that she would be the best to serve out of the candidates for the reason that she has first hand experience of what a president must do in the administration. Since the day of Clintons terms to currently she has been involved politically. Currently she is in the senate. I also had a bias for her for the fact that I am Latina and I feel she is more responsive to immigration. As well I felt it would be a good change, for a female to become president. If a female does become president then the feminist movement has come thus far. I am not promoting Clinton but it would be good to see how female would respond to political issues.
