Obama without a doubt. Why you say?
-Obama is a strong, and longtime supporter of Independent energy. We need to run our country on fuels like Wind, Solar and BioFuel. Unlike McCain, who wants to stay with Nuclear Energy (which Bush supported and STILL has not solved our energy crisis) and Drilling offshore. (Which Obama supports as a "step" to energy independence, where McCain sees it as a "solution")
-Certain Companies will benefit when a Candidate wins the election.
If Obama wins the following things will happen: Broadband internet prices will go down and quality of service will improve, Alternative Energies that we need in order to become energy independent will benefit. Oil Companies will have to lower prices in order to compete with Alternative Fuels. Natural Gas prices will go down. New Companies that support clean energy will have easier launches. Many, Many jobs would be created.
-Obama is a strong supporter of our Education. He wants make sure EVERYONE who wants to go to college gets there, and has the support to stay in college.
-Obama wants to help our public schools so they can actually compete on an international level. Many are failing and cannot fund new books and things due to the "No Child left Behind" act.
Btw, If you do not make over $250,000 a year, Obama is NOT going to raise your Taxes.
And I believe, if Colin Powell endorses Obama (A former GENERAL and Secretary of State) I think he is more than qualified to lead our country, security wise. Heck, Bill Clinton and Hillary are out campaigning their hearts out for Obama. The times of the Clinton administration represent when our country was not almost 11 Trillion dollars in the hole. The Clintons are very smart people, and would not endorse and campaign for Obama if they did not believe he would do a great job as President.
Obama is a very well-educated man, who seeks out the best in the nation to help him.
-He is not a terrorist. Bill Ayers is NOT on the ticket. The two men only met a few times briefly, are not "pals" and Mr. Ayers is not an issue important to the American people. The Economy and our wallets is. That's that. McCain's poor attempt at getting people suspicious about Obama.
So even if you aren't going to vote. You don't have to support McCain. Just because Obama is something we've never seen before in a Presidential Election, doesn't mean he is a bad choice.
Why am I following this election so closely? This determines a new direction for America. I am concerned for the future. What the outcome of this election is, will affect me and you for a long time to come.
I for one, think everyone should open their minds a little more. Listen to his speech at the Democratic National Convention. Compare that to McCain's Republican National Convention Speech. Which Inspires you more?
Typical responces may include:
-Longtime? *rolls eyes* Also, why do people actually believe things that are said when a presidental candidate is running for the office? They still need congresses approval before they can take ANY of the measures they promise to do when they get elected.
-Of course certain companies do. Why do you think they give the candidates money? Because they want them to buy cloths? lol
-Hmmm, without raising taxes or cutting programs? Funny. He wants to invest into alot of things but claims he won't be raising taxes for -250,000 (again, congress deciedes this as well. The president can try to prevent it but it can still be overriden). So is he going to tax the hell out of those individuals who worked thier butts off to get to where they are until they are in the middle class?
-NCLB is a huge mistake. It's set back our education system at LEAST 10 years. Obama/McCain won't be able to change this in his 4-8 years as president.
-I honestly don't think the Democratic party knows who's running for president in this election. Obama thinks he's running against Bush and Hillary hasn't gotten the news that she's not in contention. Update time. Also I wouldn't say the Clinton's did anything that actually helped this country with it's current economic situation.
-Most presidential candidates do this. In all honesty, I don't think there will ever be a president that didn't want to help out his country.
-If you think the economy is the only issue out there, your vastly mistaken. Others include: The war, Supreme Court Justices (not sure if that's supposed to be all capitalized, but meh), and others that I'm not thinking of atm (got alot on the mind).
-Nobody has to support anybody. You can vote independent (OMFG what????), but that's just a waste of a vote. Obama is actually not a new presidental candidate with any new ideas, but I don't have a specific person to point to.
-It's nice to assume you can tell what the candidates are going to attempt to do while in office...think that actually sums up this point nicely.
-Both are aiming at different audiences, so thier speeches are obviously going to be written differently. Thats just silly to think otherwise.
