Presidents drink beer?




A recent report came out identifying where John McCain's campaign money has come from, or at least a good portion of it. Because McCain had not released his tax returns, but he did have at least 3.9 million dollars in income. This report says that John McCain's wife is an investor in a beer distribution company and is worth more than $100 million and provided $3.7 million for John's campaign.

Change for the Better



One thing that Obama has done in this campaign that has been much different than the other two candidates, which is having the ability to unite the people of the United States, no matter what the color of their skin, their age, race or culture. Obama has done more than just put out signs of 'Hope' or spend millions on t.v. advertisements, he has been able to rally the people of the United States together and that is why we are all hanging on to see him win the election and make the much needed change in this country. A change for better, a change that will close the racial and moral gap in the United States, a change that will bring people closer to fight the common enemy and the change that we have all been waiting for, which is to see the United States earn the respect of the world once more and bring about long lasting peace in the Middle East and the rest of the oppressed regions of the world.

Clinton's song




This will be the last post about youtubers' videos campaigning for the presidential election. In this video, posted by salsera2948, entitled "We Need A Woman" brings up one of my biggest pet peeves of all time. Basically, the song is saying, "we need a change, and since there has never been a woman president before, a woman president would equal change! Hey, Hillary's a woman! Let's all vote for her. "

Political Experience



The topic of experience is one that nobody can argue for or against. There have been many debates on whether Obama has enough experience to succeed in the White House. His opponent, Hillary Clinton has mentioned time and time again that she would be ready on day one to lead this country in a better direction. Hillary has been in the political scene since her college days, and she has been exposed to the duties of a president as the first lady. But does experience equal success?
