    Caleb, you know nothing of politics..... read a book.

    I think should get someone else in office instead of Obama because he hasn't been doing so well.
  •  
    Yes, Obama hasn't been the best, but he has done a much better job than Bush. Let us not forget that Bush is the one who set us into debt and left Obama on a sliding slope. He has actually made our decrease much better then how Bush left us and he has created a lot of new jobs. An example: Bush's reign is a car. He made this car junky and it barely runs and is steadily getting worse. Obama is then sold the car and he starts to make repairs, but the car keeps breaking and having other parts go bad because of the state it was left in. Obama is doing everything that he can to make this car good again. It's also frustrating that everyone is so against what Obama is doing. I mean if you think he's doing such a bad job, do you think you could do it better? What could you do differently compared to what Obama is doing? This takes time to get out of debt. It's not like you can just snap your fingers and make the debt go away. So, maybe we should think before we just hate our President because everything's not perfect. Perhaps we should think before we just bash on someone.

Texas judge warns of civil war if Obama is re-elected - CNN.com - 8 views

  •  
    (CNN) -- An elected county judge in Texas is warning that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and is calling for a trained, well-equipped force to battle the United Nations troops he says Obama would bring in.
  •  
    I'm honestly not sure whether at should laugh or cry because of this ridiculousness. So Obama is going to take over the U.S., but then he's going to "give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations." Because that's what the UN does, right? It governs countries? And who exactly are Obama's "czars?" "He's got his czars in place that don't answer to anybody." I don't know if it's more worrying that Judge Head believes Obama is planning to become dictator of the U.S., or that he doesn't realize that he's implying Obama's czars don't listen to Obama, which would really mean that they are trying to take over the U.S., not Obama. And people in Texas actually support/believe this man? All I can say is that I'm glad I wasn't born in Lubbock County.

    Super interesting article. I am curious if anyone will comment here about whether they think their decisions are influenced much by social media. This article has an equally provocative link on Obesity and STD's gained from social networks http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/24/tech.networks.connected/index.html

Romney defeats Santorum by 8 votes in Iowa - CNN.com - 2 views

  •  
    For the Republican nomination it is going to come down to if the true conservatives come out and support or not. The nomination will be for Romney if they do not come out and Santorum will win if they do. Gingrich, Bachman, and Huntsman have no chance in my opinion. Paul on the other hand will be an interesting story. He is appealing to the younger voters, so his success will be based upon if the <25 population comes out to vote.

'Under God' part of Pledge of Allegiance under review in Massachusetts - CNN.com - 0 views

    "'Under God' part of Pledge of Allegiance under review in Massachusetts"
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    Well then, If it started that way, why would we change it? That's like changing McDonald's from fast food to a fancy italian resturant
  •  
    It is interesting that the pledge has been changed before... the "under God" part wasnt added until the 1950's http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm
  •  
    I don't think its discrimination. Because it's saying that God doesn't love gay people but that's quite opposite. Well that's what I believe anyway. I think we should leave the pledge the way it is because of tradition.
  •  
    america isn't all forced religion country so i can see why under god could upset people but it isn't that big of a deal
  •  
    It shouldn't matter that is not "forcing a religion" on to someone. Kids don't really think about the meaning of words that they repeat everyday.
  •  
    i think its unnecessary to change it because its a free counrty you dont even have to say the pledge, also it doesnt say a certain god, just gid so that can mean any god you believe in
  •  
    Why?!! Neext thing you know they will wanna take the In God we trust off the money!!
  •  
    They have actually spoken on that in the past
