And also you said about foreign students being accepted into our colleges. That is because students from other countries are more intelligent than Americans. We are ranked 24th in the entire world for education. That pretty sad. Colleges want smart people. Its no wonder they accept foreign students.

And a topic I noticed I did not cover. Iraq. What a mess. The American government thought this would go much smoother and they would be in, out, and on their way. But unfortunately that is not the case. Obama will have bill Richardson on his staff who is an amazing foreign ambassador and I have faith in his ability at negotiations. People often say they will vote McCain because he wants to drill in Florida which will 'lower has prices' and 'cut off Americas dependance on the middle east'. Has everyone so quickly forgetten the way the coast line has been best with tropical storms?? And has everyone forgotten that that contributes to pollution and could cost potentially more for refineries and power plants. John mccains ideas all have holes in them that have outstanding evidence against them. Taxing smaller companies? That's one of his campaign strong holds. Obama is NOT going to tax smaller companies? The fact that you think that makes Me question your resources for information! His plan is to cut taxes on smaller companies while taxing conglomerates and big companies... Do some research! The information to what his values are are out there. But even stronger to Me are the things I DON'T want!
