i love obama

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.

Obama is in the 98th percentile for his NCAA bracket. Little fun fact for you guys.

this article is about abortion which is an important issue in the upcoming presidential election. I just thought that it was interesting to read but I am in no way for abortion.

Alex, did you read this article? This article is about how the parent DID have the baby and "took responsibility for their actions" and then abused the child. So, no just because a parent takes responsibility for their actions in the beginning, that doesn't mean the child won't be abused. If you look at it rationally and scientifically, abortion really isn't murder. Abortions are possible through the second trimester, or 24th week of pregnancy. At this time it is impossible for the fetus to live outside of the womb. It has only just started producing blood cells, the eyes aren't developed until the 26th week, the bones aren't developed until between the 31st and 34th week, the brain is still developing even after the 30th week, and the lungs aren't mature until after the 34th week. So is it really 'murder' to abort something that has less consciousness and is less developed than a mouse?

I am pro-choice, and agree with Mallory and Kirstina. Sure, it's not fair for the unborn baby, but is it fair for the parent(s). In the situation of rape, definitely not. Giving birth to someones child that physically harmed you, a mother should not have to do that. Not to mention how expensive it is to have a child. Why should a 15 year old have to pay that sort of money to have a child? The real problem, they don't, and the parents have to suffer for their child, which is unfair to them. If you want to say it's still morally wrong, it's just as bad as stealing thousands of dollars from those who gave birth to you just to let that child live.

The price of gasoline is damaging not just Americans' finances and mobility -- but the public's broader economic sentiment, and with it, Barack Obama's re-election prospects. With gas up 26 percent this year to an average $3.88 a gallon, seven in 10 Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll report financial hardship as a result, six in 10 say they've cut back on driving -- and, among those hardest hit, Obama's ratings are suffering.

If gas prices stay low I believe Obama's ratings will go up!

This is so true!

Summary of the address to the nation last night. Can you find items that show a Liberal ideology? Link to the full speech text can be found @ http://goo.gl/bTTr0 (with a cool Wordle) What did you guys think?

The "Buffett Rule" is one of the most interesting subjects from the speech. Raise taxes on rich, but keep taxes the same from middle and lower class. Yes, this would absolutely help America get out of debt, but I do not believe that this would help the middle/lower classes. As the writer said, they need to lower the middle/lower classes taxes to make a major change to out economic situation

So far most of what he is saying makes sense and is reasonable. I just don't think he will follow through with it, seldom do political figures accomplish what they say, how they say they will go about getting things done. He thinks the wealthier people (making $1,000,000) should pay at least 30% of taxes while the 98% of Americans that make only $250,000 a year should pay the taxes we do now, not an increased tax which simply cannot be paid by some.(The Buffett Rule)

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.

Lew will be a good choice for Chief of Staff. Going from Over looking the President's budget(Director of Management and Budget) to overlooking everything that goes on in the White House is a good step. The knowledge he gained from the OMB will be highly valuable in his new position

This was a great moment. Seeing how both parties who have been at each others throats recently to come together and support Gabrielle Giffords in her decision. The strongest statement from her speech she wrote was,"I will recover and will return"

US President Barack Obama Only days after clearing Congress, US President Barack Obama signed his name to H.R. 347 on Thursday, officially making it a federal offense to cause a disturbance at certain political events - essentially criminalizing protest in the States. RT broke the news last month that H.R.

Obama on gun control

Gangsters and Hoodlums will still use guns to kill, shoot, rob people i really don't think its going to help.

After reading the article, I don't think these two rules were meant to stop a lot of gun crimes. On the issue of gun violence, I would say that we still need tight regulations of guns. I am less concerned with new gun control laws, and more interested to know how our society can keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and the mentally ill.

The Kentucky senator's latest filibuster-style stand against government surveillance positions him as the bane of Big Brother and puts him at the center of a high-profile national security debate as support for the post-9/11 security state seems to be fraying. Paul's maneuvering is not without risks.

Five men who describe themselves in a complaint as "human rights activists of Mexican origin" filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Republican presidential candidate, his campaign, his company and Keith Schiller, Trump's chief of security. The plaintiffs allege that Trump security officials, namely Schiller, assaulted them as they protested outside of a campaign event.

I feel like the activists were well within their rights and forcing the protectors to move the banner as well as striking one of them is very illegal and wrong. I agree with them that Trump would make this country racist, and he should be protested against as much as humanly possible.

It could have been a simple story of facts, exaggeration and fetal tissue. In the last Republican presidential debate, Carly Fiorina passionately challenged Hillary Clinton and President Obama to watch one of the undercover videos featuring a Planned Parenthood official talking about donating fetal tissue to researchers.

Hillary Clinton issued a sharp critique of Congress Monday afternoon, saying in a series of tweets that recent gridlock has created a "congressional trifecta against women." Congressional trifecta against women today: 1) Blocking great nominee, 1st African American woman AG, for longer than any AG in 30 years...

The rare exception: his immigration plan. As president, Trump says he would eject some 11 million undocumented workers from the country. He cites a specific model for his proposal: "Operation Wetback," an aggressive and unprecedented sweep by U.S.

They tried this a long time ago and it was considered a shameful chapter in american history because they were mean to people when they did it didn't even try to make it a little easy on them.

I think that a big change is coming in the United States. If Trump becomes president, there will no longer be peace in the place we call home. There will be so many people refusing to do what he says he wants to do. I personally feel that he doesn't have the right to say whether or not they are here. If it didn't work before, it won't work now. And him just trying it will cause conflict everywhere.
