U.S.A -Going Bankrupt

Rumor has it that America's banks are going under, because of this, McCain announced last week he was "suspending" his campaign events to focus on the financial crisis, he felt this was the best way because having another depression is way more serious then campaigning.Democrats accused him of pulling a political stunt they have asked for a financial rescue package.The House of Representatives rejected a $700 billion plan to bail out the financial system, putting a roadblock in front of the largest government intervention in the market since the Great Depression. The bill failed by a vote of 205 to 228, with 140 Democrats and 65 Republicans voting in favor and 95 Democrats joining 133 Republicans against. McCain and Obama had both said Sunday that they would probably vote for the legislation, as long as it included some key principles they had pushed for. Republicans and Democrats blamed each other for the failure of the bill, which President Bush had urged Congress to approve.

McCain is on the Road to Michigan

I was reading on John McCain's website and i noticed that he would be in Michigan so i thought i would post about the times and places just in case anyone cared!!
John McCain is well on his way campaigning in Michigan. He will be traveling with His wife and Vice president Sarah Palin. He will be going to the Great Traverse Victory Center in Traverser's City Bay. This is one of his many stops in Michigan. The campaign is called his road to victory rally, and he plans on getting everyones vote. Another stop is Grand Rapids, where he will be speaking at the straight Talk Town Hall on sept ember 17th. I was reading about some new news on the McCain/Palin election and he has a a blog himself, i think that is kind of cool, but i am sure people are payed to write it for him. I read an article about how John feels about Hurricane Ike, and what he did to help. The article said that Cindy and John joined every American in offering prayers and assistance to those along the Gulf Coast reeling from the damage done by Hurricane Ike. I think that it is cool that he made an attempt to join those who were helping clean up after Ike. This hit home for me because I have family along the Gulf coast, so i was very in tuned to the stories about the Hurricane while they were being broad casted over the news. So it makes me feel like John really cares, beacuse knowing that even before he knows if he is president yet, he still makes a point to help out those in need.

Thats all for now, i need to go clean some dirty tanning beds!! haha but i do love doing homework while I am at work getting paid

Vice president

I feel that the 2008 electron is going to be one that Americans will never forget. I will be voting for John McCain because he is for the Republicans. I really like his vice president pick. Sarah Seems like she is a classic all- American woman and although she may have some family issues to deal with I feel that, that will only make her a stronger V.P. America is bashing her about her 17 year old daughter who is going to have a baby in about seven months, they are saying things like she can't control her daughter, how can she control the United States. I feel that is very unfair and I truly think she can handle being a grandmother and the V.P. John McCain would not have picked someone that he didn't think could handle it. She also has a baby that has downs syndrome and citizens are commenting about Palion not being able to give good care to her baby if she is the Vice president. I believe she can do a wonderful job, and its not like she is the only business women in the world that has a baby with downs syndrome, and a large family. Its not like she is raising a family all on her own, she has a very caring husband who as taken off of work to take care of the new born. I feel that is very responsible and it shows that he doesn't have to be the one who "brings home the bacon" and its OK if he acts as mister mom. PEOPLE magazine did an article about her and her family and from the article they seem like that they are really down to earth, she enjoys real life things and she defiantly isn't fake. Not one thing about her is fake. She was brought up in a normal family setting and was a great basketball player, in 1982 Palin led her team to the state title. In 2007 Palin visited U.S troops in kuwait, and she was also crowned Miss Wasilla in 1984. She is a well rounded person and i feel she has no secrets, she could have kept that her daughter was pregnat a secret but instead she was brave and told America. That was something personal, but it didn't phase Palin, she commented in PEOPLE Magaizen that its best to get the pregnecy out right away because it dosn't make her or her daughter a bad person, she says she is looking forward for her son Trig to have someone close in age to grow up with. It seems as though she is trying to make the best of something that you can't change and i look up to her for that. I feel we need a Real down home style Vice president in office. We live in an ever changing world and i feel Sarah is a great model of who we need to stand up for what we believe in.
