The Racial Aspect of it All

My name is Kaci and I'm a senior in high school in Brooklyn, New York. Now, yes, I am an Obama fan, but I've been noticing some things in my school. *No Racism* Most of my school is African-Americans. And I have not ONCE heard any one of the black people say they support McCain. So I just wanna know...how many people are voting Obama because he's black, and how many are voting becuase they agree with his views on the important issues? I'm 18 years old and on November 4th, I'm voting Obama because I agree with him taking troops out of Iraq (since they were never the terrorist problem anyway) and his want for guaranteed healthcare eligibility. And I don't want anybody thinkin I'm just some snotty little white girl that's just tryna start some problems wif sumbody cuz I'm not. I'm a headstrong, proud Dominican and if uu got suttin too say...hit meh up on mah celly. 570-447-9328.<33 Ducesz.

Hmm...

We are doing a project for our Social Studies class. We are to create an ad for or against one candidate- McCain or Obama.

I don't much care for either of them, because I agree and disagree with both parties.

How will Obama pay for all of these programs? Just raise taxes on the wealthy and that's all?

McCain seems as if he is covering his own back by not raising taxes at all. How will we pay for the war that is costing the U.S. over $5 billion and rising?

I don't know how the U.S. will be able to rise out of this hole that has been dug, but I hope the candidates will both try to figure out some way.

Our group is doing an ad against McCain, as much as I don't like it. Everyone is raising up good things about Obama, so I wanted to give McCain at least one good ad. Poor guy.

Oh well.

Hello Readers,

My name is Rebecca G.I am a 10th grader at Mumford High. My class and I are doing a project on where McCain and ♥Obama♥ stand and who really has America at heart.

I've come here to ask is if you could email me at

jessicanh101@yahoo.com

I would like to get a feel on the voters and where they stand.

Im not old enough to vote but if i could i would vote for ♥Obama♥.not because he's blacke eather.I would vote for him because I fell he could take America in a new direction. It's Time For A Change that only ♥Ombama can make.

McCain may hve some people on his side but is he on yours?

Not many people know but McCain has a daurther(Bridget McCain)who he CLAMES to love but left out of the family picture.

♥Obama♥ NEVER for got his children and would not forget the people who got him as far as he is to day.

Wake Up People!!!

Ok First of all Yes I do like Obama! but why would you want some one that has no idea what hes doing run our contry? Yes he knows what we want but this is our lives we are talking about! He's never been in any kind of sistuation like this! and we don't time to baby sit let alone teach! Yes he is right we do need change, and to make it easier for us to achieve our American Dreams but how in the hell is he going to help us if he don't know what hes doing yes he can ask for help but that bull crap! he should know what he's doing and every one needs to open their eyes on this big situation! I'm only 17 and yet I know what I'm talking about!

On the other hand McCain says that he will stand by our sides and not in our way, and get our contry moving again. he won't cut jobes and he wants to keep our conrty safe and to not loose any more loved ones! ( but we all know that he's not going to send our troops home! ) and he keeps using that he has scars to prove that he has helped our contry! Yes that may be true butwe shouldn't vote for him just on that alone! and Yes he has way more experince than Obama does! so now since this Information Is so True you all can decide who will lead our contry to victory and keep us safe!!!
