In about five hours, I will be at the Indiana Organizing fellowship through the Obama campaign. I'm so excited I haven't been able to sleep. I have been wearing one of my three Obama t-shirts since before he won the Democratic candidacy. Well, not every time I leave my house, but pretty close to it.
I've recently been debating my Mother on Campaign Politics. She received an email from some family concerning McCain's family and that got her to talking over the news this morning which was going on about the debt incurred by Ex-Presidential Candidate, Hilary Clinton.
So I raised my opinion: I want a presidential candidate that can run as a SERIOUS candidate with $100.
In place of the country that was envied above all others is a sorry excuse for a nation. Consumed by recession and war, the United States has become a global mockery. The poor state of the union and its stained reputation pose serious problems for the successive president.
Negative Campaigning seems to only get worse with time, and many politicians resort to mudslinging to attempt to sway voter’s opinions. Well, one thing is for sure – they are swaying the public’s opinions – just not in the direction that they want.
About a year ago, various Myspaces began to show up representing the numerous candidates for the role of President of the United States. A few months later the first "Youtube" debate was held with questions coming in from various parts of the country dealing with anything from the war to health care. This continues as Facebook groups pop up asking who would you vote for and such.
On Friday, Hillary Clinton made a suggestion to give every baby born in America a “baby bond” of $5,000 from the government to go towards their adult housing or education needs. Baby bonds are not a new idea, but they are a very controversial. Approximately 4 million children are born in the United States every year; that’s $20 billion to the baby bond program, times four years of Hillary’s potential presidency, equaling a total of $80 billion. Where is this money going to come from?
