State of the Union

First i would like to say that there is much too many standing ovations and applauses. I did not see the adress on television, but just reading (applause) after every other sentence gets annoying, can imagine pausing and hearing each applause. I thought some good things were that he would like to cut taxes to help single people afford insurance but i don't know how smart it is to leave the governors money to their descression. I also think that doubling the amount of border patrol is a good idea however i think that making it easier for imagrants to come across the border almost defeats the purpose of the border patrol. Whether they are citizens or not, illegal and legal imigrants will continue to come into the contry. I like the fact that the president wants to steer away from foriegn oil and rely more on our own oil. It is easier for terrorists to manipulate the flow of oil when contries like Libia or Iran are in charge of it. I respect the fact that no matter how much the president is ridiculed, he stands behind the things that he chose such as putting troops in Iraq. He, whether he has a choice or not, is supporting the desicion of the war on terror. The rest of the adress is talking about people that do good things and talking about how great the people of America are.

Hillary For President!

Hillary R. Clinton has made an entry into one of the most numerous runnings for the US presidency. I was personally thinking about running but I decided not to because I'm not liberal enough to win. She is reportedly "In and in to win". She would be both the first woman to be the POTUS and the first spouse of a former POTUS to become the president. He big thing at this point is to put a cap on the number of troops in Iraq and focus more on putting troops in Afghanistan. She decided to make a push after President Bush made the decision to put 22,000 additional troops in Iraq.
She announced her engagement in the running on January 20th, exactly 2 years prior to when the inauguration of the new president in 2009 happens. Pretty slick move I suppose but I am not sure it will help her win the election. She and Barack Obama have already been slinging back and fourth at eachother a bit. This is good news for the Republicans because they do not have to create any new Clinton or Obama bashes, because the Democrats will have given them enough ideas from bashing eachother! At this point 51% of Americans said no matter what they will not vote for the woman which means that she's not too popular. Only 34% of American even vote so who knows. I think that it would be really cool to have a woman president but there are some things wrong with Hillary. For example, she's not a black lady, her name's not Condi Rice, and she cannot think her way out of a box; other than that she FANTASTIC!!!
